Safety Precautions

1. Improper use of this meter can cause damage, shock,

injury or death. Read and understand this users manual

before operating the meter.

2. Make sure any covers or battery doors are properly closed

and secured.

3. Always remove the test leads before replacing the battery

or fuses.

4. Inspect the condition of the test leads and the meter itself

for any damage before operating the meter. Repair or

replace any damage before use.

5. Do not exceed the maximum rated input limits.

6. Use great care when making measurements if the voltages

are greater than 25VAC rms or 35VDC. These voltages are

considered a shock hazard.

7. Always discharge capacitors and remove power from the

device under test before performing Capacitance, Diode,

Resistance or Continuity tests.

8. Remove the battery from the meter if the meter is to be

stored for long periods.

9. To avoid electric shock, do not measure AC current on any

circuit whose voltage exceeds 600V AC.

10. Voltage checks on electrical outlets can be difficult and

misleading because of the uncertainty of connection to the

electrical contacts. Other means should be used to ensure

that the terminals are not "live".

11. The product is intended only for indoor use

12. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the

manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment

may be impaired.

13. Pollution degree: 2
