WARNING!
1.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEED
THESE RATINGS:
- Voltage is not to exceed 600V AC or DC.
-  Resistance, Capacitance, Logic, and Continuity 

functions are not to be performed on circuits capable 
of delivering greater than 500V AC or DC.

- Current measurements are not to be performed on 

circuits capable of delivering greater than 600V AC 
on insulated conductors, 250V AC on uninsulated 
conductors.

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.  

- Turn off the power to the circuit or device being mea-

sured before taking resistance and capacitance mea-
surements.  Fully discharge all capacitors before
measuring.

3.

Ensure meter is in proper working order before using.
Visually inspect meter for damage.  Performing a conti-
nuity 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 measure-
ments.  Do not touch exposed metal pipes, outlets, fix-
tures, etc.  Keep your body isolated from ground by
using dry clothing, rubber shoes, rubber mats, or any
other approved insulating material.  Keep your fingers
behind the finger guards on the probes.  Work with oth-
ers.

6.

Before beginning all unknown measurements, set meter
to the highest range possible.
