XWWarning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
•Use this Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the Meter might be impaired.
•Do not use the Meter if it is damaged. Before using the Meter, inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.
•Make sure the battery door is closed and latched before operating the Meter.
•Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator (M) appears.
•Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the battery door.
•Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before using the Meter.
•Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.
•Never operate the Meter with the cover removed or the case open.
•Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a shock hazard.
•Use only the replacement fuses specified in this manual.
•Use the proper terminals, function, and range for measurements.
•Avoid working alone.
•When measuring current, turn off circuit power before connecting the Meter in the circuit. Remember to place the Meter in series with the circuit.
