Milwaukee 2217-20 Important Safety Instructions, General Specifications, Functional Description

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury, as well as instrument damage and/or damage to the equipment being tested.

Save these instructions - This operator’s manual contains important safety and operating instructions for the MILWAUKEE Digital Multimeters (DMM). Before using, read this operator’s manual and all labels on the Digital Multimeters.

DANGER

Never make measurement on a circuit in which voltage over 600V rms exists. Use only leads rated 600V CATIII or better.

Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the DMM, between terminals or be- tween any terminal and earth ground.

Do not attempt a current measurement when the open voltage is above the fuse protection rating. Suspected open circuit voltage can be checked with voltage function.

Do not use the DMM to measure voltages in circuits that could be damaged by the DMM’s low input impedance in Lo-Z function is approximately 4KΩ.

Do not attempt to make measurement in the presence of flammable gases. Otherwise, the use of the instrument may cause sparking, which can lead to an explosion.

Never attempt to use the instrument if its surface or your hand is wet. Do not exceed the maximum allowable input of any measuring range. Only test on unenergized circuits unless absolutely necessary.

WARNING

Install battery according to polarity (+ and –) diagrams. Do not leave batteries within the reach of children.

Do not mix new and used batteries. Do not mix brands (or types within brands) of batteries. Properly dispose of used batteries.

Do not incinerate or dismantle batteries.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

CAUTION

Set the Rotary Dial to an appropriate position before starting measurement. Disconnect test leads from test points before changing Rotary Dial functions. Never connect to a source of voltage with the Dial function in OFF/Ω/////. Firmly insert the test leads.

Do not expose the instrument to the direct sun, high temperature and humidity or dew fall. Altitude 2000m or less. Appropriate operating temperature is within -10ºC and 50ºC.

Keep away from excess dust and water.

Be sure to power off the instrument after use. When the instrument will not be in use for a long period, place it in storage after removing the batteries.

Use a cloth dipped in water or neutral detergent for cleaning the instrument. Do not use abrasives or solvents.

Check tool functionality on a known circuit first. Never assume tool is working. Assume circuits are live until they can be proven de-energized.

Never open the Battery cover during a measurement.

Do not ground yourself while measuring. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur- faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

This instrument is to be used only in its intended applications or conditions. Otherwise, the instrument's safety functions may not work, resulting in serious personal injury and instru- ment damage.

To reduce the risk of injury from shock and arc blasts, always wear personal protective equipment where live conductors are exposed.

WARNING

Never attempt to make measurement if any abnormal conditions, such as broken case and exposed metal parts are found on the instrument.

Comply with local and national safety requirements when working in hazardous locations. Keep fingers behind the guards and away from test lead tips during measurements.

Do not rotate the Rotary Dial while the test leads are being connected.

Never attempt a voltage measurement with the test lead inserted into the A input terminal.

Verify proper operation on a known source before use or taking action as a result of the in- dication of the instrument.

Do not install substitute parts, replace fuse or make any modification to the instrument. For repair or re-calibration, return the tool to a factory Service/Sales Support Branch or authorized service station.

Do not try to replace the batteries if the surface of the instrument is wet.

Disconnect all the cords and cables from the object under test and power off the instrument before opening the Battery Cover for Battery replacement.

This tool is designed to be powered by 2-AA batteries properly inserted into the MILWAUKEE Digital Multimeters. Do not attempt to use with any other voltage or power supply.
