CAUTION
To protect yourself, think “Safety First”:
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose a shock
hazard so use caution.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment
such as safety glasses, face shields, insulating
gloves, insulating boots, and/or insulating mats.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors before testing resistance,
continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
Before each use:
• Perform a continuity test by touching the test
leads together to verify the functionality of the
battery and test leads.
• Use the 3 Point Safety Method. (1) Verify meter
operation by measuring a known voltage. (2)
Apply meter to circuit under test. (3) Return to
the known live voltage again to ensure proper
operation.
• Use the proper terminals, functions and range for
your measurements.
• Never ground yourself when taking electrical
measurements.
• Connect the black common lead to ground
or neutral before applying the red test lead to
potential voltage. Disconnect the red test lead
from the voltage rst.
• Always work with a partner.
• Keep ngers behind the nger guards on the
probes.
All voltage tests: All voltage ranges will
withstand up to 1000VDC/750VAC rms. Do not
apply more than 1000VDC or 750VAC rms.

WARNINGS
DISCONNECT AND UNPLUG TEST LEADS before opening case.
TEST NCV FUNCTION ON KNOWN LIVE WIRE before using.
DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE greater than 30VAC/VDC to the
thermocouple or the jacks when the rotary dial is on °F°C. (Use
only Type K thermocouples)
DO NOT APPLY VOLTAGE TO THE JACKS when the rotary dial is on
microamps. Even low voltages can cause a current overload and
potentially harm the meter.
