3. Do not use the Multimeter/
Tachometer if:
a. The test lead is damaged
in any way.
b. The battery is low.
c. Near any explosive
gasses or fumes.
d. Any abnormal operation is
detected.
(If in doubt about the condition
of the meter, have it serviced.)
e. The battery cover is open.
4. This meter should be powered
only by a single, correctly
installed 9V battery.
5. Use caution when working near
voltages above 30V RMS, 42V
peak, or 60V DC. Voltages this high
present a risk of electric shock.
6. Disconnect the circuit’s power
before connecting the meter in
series (when measuring current).
7. Connect the common (COM) test
lead rst and disconnect last.
8. Hold the probes with
ngers behind guards.
9. Avoid electrical shock. Use
extreme caution when working
near uninsulated conductors or bus
bars. Prevent body contact with
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, and cabinet
enclosures when testing voltages.
10. Do not apply more than the rated
voltage, as marked on the meter,
between terminals or between
any terminal and earth ground.
11. Observe work area conditions. Do
not test voltages in damp or wet
locations. Don’t expose to rain.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
12. Keep children away. Children must
never be allowed in the work area.
13. Stay alert. Watch what you
are doing, use common
sense. Do not operate any
meter when you are tired.
14. Do not operate Multimeter/
Tachometer if under the inuence
of alcohol or drugs. Read
warning labels on prescriptions
to determine if your judgment
or reexes are impaired while
taking drugs. If there is any doubt,
do not operate the meter.
15. Due to the danger inherent in such
work, only a licensed electrician
should work on high-voltage or other
potentially dangerous circuits.
16. Do not test voltage on circuits higher
than 750 volts AC or 1000 volts DC.
This type of testing should only be
done by a qualied electrician.
17. Do not test current on
circuits higher than 10 A.
18. Store idle equipment. When not
in use, meters must be stored in a
dry location to decrease exposure
to moisture. Lock up meters and
keep out of reach of children.
19. Dress properly. Protective,
electrically nonconductive
clothes and nonskid footwear are
recommended when working.
20. Wear ANSI-approved
impact safety goggles.
