Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Use the Product only as specified, or the protection
supplied by the Product can be compromised.
• Read all safety information before you use the Product.
• Carefully read all instructions.
• Do not use and disable the Product if it is damaged.
Protection may be impaired.
• The battery door must be closed and locked before you
operate the Product.
• Examine the case before you use the Product. Look for
cracks or missing plastic. Carefully look at the insulation
around the terminals.
• Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal
protective equipment (approved rubber gloves, face
protection, and flame-resistant clothes) to prevent shock
and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are
exposed.
• Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the Product
operates correctly.
• Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator shows
to prevent incorrect measurements.
• Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in
damp or wet environments.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the
Product, between terminals or between any terminal and
earth ground.
• Do not touch voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V
dc.
• Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• Connect the common test lead before the live test lead and
remove the live test lead before the common test lead.
• Clean the case with a damp cloth and detergent. Do not use
abrasives or solvents.
• Remove the batteries if the Product is not used for an
extended period of time, or if stored in temperatures above
50 °C. If the batteries are not removed, battery leakage can
damage the Product.
• Limit operation to the specified measurement category,
voltage, or amperage ratings.
• Use the correct terminals, function, and range for
measurements.
• Hold the Product behind the tactile barrier.
• Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test
leads for damaged insulation, exposed metal, or if the wear
indicator shows. Check test lead continuity.
• Use only current probes, test leads, and adapters supplied
with the Product.
• Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of the
lowest rated individual component of a Product, probe, or
accessory.
• Repair the Product before use if the battery leaks.
• Be sure that the battery polarity is correct to prevent battery
leakage.
• Do not operate the Product with covers removed or the case
open. Hazardous voltage exposure is possible.
• Use only specified replacement parts.
• Have an approved technician repair the Product.
• Disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before you measure resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a
diode junction.
