Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these
guidelines:
Do not use the meter if it is damaged. Before you use the meter,
inspect the case. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding
the connectors.
Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check
the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before you
use the meter.
Do not use the meter if it operates abnormally.
Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have the meter serviced.
Do not operate the meter where explosive gas, vapor or dust is
present.
Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the meter,
between terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
Before use, verify the meter's operation by measuring a known
voltage.
When servicing the meter, use only specified replacement parts.
Use caution when working with voltage above 30V ac rms, 42V ac
peak, or 60V dc. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guard on
the probes.
When making connections, connect the common test lead before you
connect the live test lead. When you disconnect test leads, disconnect
the live test lead first.
Remove the test leads from the meter and the clamp from any
conductor under test before you open the battery cover or the case.
Do not operate the meter with the battery cover or portions of the case
removed or loosened.
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or
personal injury, replace the batteries as soon as the low battery
