WARNING

To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury or death, follow these guidelines:

•฀Do฀not฀use฀if฀meter฀appears฀damaged.฀Visually฀inspect฀the฀meter฀to฀ensure฀case฀and฀jaws฀are฀

not cracked.

•฀Inspect฀and฀replace฀test฀leads฀if฀insulation฀is฀damaged,฀metal฀is฀exposed,฀or฀probes฀are฀

cracked. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.

•฀To฀preserve฀the฀safety฀rating฀of฀this฀product,฀use฀only฀test฀leads฀with฀a฀minimum฀rating฀of฀

CAT฀IV

฀600V,฀CAT฀III฀1000V.฀Do฀not฀use฀improvised฀connections฀that฀could฀present฀a฀safety฀

hazard.

•฀Always฀ensure฀the฀meter,฀test฀leads฀and฀all฀accessories฀meet฀or฀exceed฀the฀measurement฀

category฀required฀in฀the฀working฀environment.฀(i.e.฀CAT฀rating)

•฀Note฀that฀the฀measurement฀category฀and฀voltage฀rating฀of฀combinations฀of฀the฀meter,฀the฀test฀

leads, and the accessories is the lowest of the individual components.

•฀Do฀not฀use฀meter฀if฀it฀operates฀abnormally฀as฀protection฀maybe฀impaired.฀฀

•฀Do฀not฀use฀during฀electrical฀storms฀or฀in฀wet฀weather.

•฀Do฀not฀use฀around฀explosive฀gas,฀dust,฀vapor,฀amperage฀or฀in฀damp฀or฀wet฀environments.

•฀Do฀not฀apply฀more฀than฀the฀rated฀voltage฀or฀amperage

•฀Remove฀the฀test฀leads฀from฀the฀input฀jacks฀before฀measuring฀current.

•฀Replace฀battery฀as฀soon฀as฀battery฀indicator฀฀฀฀฀฀฀฀฀appears฀to฀avoid฀false฀readings.

•฀Remove฀the฀test฀leads฀from฀the฀meter฀prior฀to฀removing฀battery฀cover.

•฀Do฀not฀use฀without฀the฀battery฀and฀battery฀cover฀properly฀installed.

•฀Do฀not฀attempt฀to฀repair฀this฀unit฀as฀it฀has฀no฀user-serviceable฀parts.

•฀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฀first.

•฀Keep฀fingers฀behind฀the฀guard฀rings฀of฀the฀probe฀tips.

•฀Hold฀the฀clamp฀behind฀the฀tactile฀barrier.฀

•฀Voltages฀exceeding฀30VAC฀or฀60VDC฀pose฀a฀shock฀hazard฀so฀use฀caution.

CAUTION

To฀protect฀yourself,฀think฀“Safety฀First”:

•฀Comply฀with฀local฀and฀national฀safety฀codes.฀

•฀Use฀appropriate฀personal฀protective฀equipment฀such฀as฀face฀shields,฀insulating฀gloves,฀

insulating boots, and/or insulating mats.

•฀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.

•฀Always฀work฀with฀a฀partner.
