Safety Information

A "XWWarning" statement identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause bodily harm or death.

A "WCaution" statement identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Meter or the equipment under test.

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

• Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the Meter might

be impaired.

• Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is not operating

properly.

• Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range for measurements.

• Verify the Meter's operation by measuring a known voltage. If in doubt, have the Meter

serviced.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on Meter, between terminals or

between any terminal and earth ground.

• Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose

a shock hazard.

• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing

resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.

• Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.

• When using test leads or probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.

• Only use test leads that have the same voltage, category, and amperage ratings as the meter

and that have been approved by a safety agency.

• Remove test leads from Meter before opening the battery door or Meter case.
