1. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEED THESE
RATINGS:
• Voltage is not to exceed 1000 Volts.
• Resistance, Capacitance, Logic and Continuity functions
• Voltage is not to exceed 1000 Volts.
• Resistance, Capacitance, Logic and Continuity functions
are not to be performed on circuits capable of delivering
greater than 600 Volts.
greater than 600 Volts.
• Current measurements are not to be performed on
circuits capable of delivering greater than 500 Volts
2. To avoid electrical shock hazards and/or damage to the meter:
• Do not exceed the voltage ratings for the meter. Use
caution when measuring voltage.
• Do not use during electrical storms. AC power sources
with inductive loads or electrical storms may result in
high voltage. High energy transients can damage meter
and present a dangerous shock hazard.
high voltage. High energy transients can damage meter
and present a dangerous shock hazard.
• Turn off power to the circuit or device being measured
before taking resistance and capacitance measurements.
Fully discharge all capacitors before measuring.
Fully discharge all capacitors before measuring.
3. Ensure meter is in proper working order before using.
Visually inspect meter for damage. Performing a continuity
check can verify proper operation. If the meter reading goes
from overload to zero, this typically means the meter is in
proper working order.

4. Visually inspect leads for damage before using. Replace if
insulation is damaged or leads appear suspect.
5. Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements.
Do not touch exposed metal pipes, outlets, fixtures etc.
Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry clothing,
rubber shoes, mats, or any other approved insulating
material. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the
probes. Work with others.

6. Before beginning all unknown measurements, set meter to
highest possible range.
7. Before breaking a circuit for testing, turn off the power to the
circuit. When disconnecting from a circuit, disconnect the
hot lead first, then the common lead.

8. Disconnect the meter from the circuit before turning off any
indicator, including motors, transformers, and solenoids.
