Read First:  Safety Information 

Understand and follow operating instructions carefully.  Use the meter only as specified in 

this manual; otherwise, the protection provided by the meter may be impaired.

 

To avoid possible electric shock, personal injury or death, follow these guidelines:

• Do not use if meter appears damaged. Visually inspect the meter to ensure case is not

cracked and back case is securely in place.

• Inspect and replace leads if insulation is damaged, metal is exposed, or probes are

cracked.  Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.

• Do not use meter if it operates abnormally as protection maybe impaired.

• Do not use during electrical storms or in wet weather.

• Do not use around explosive gas, dust, or vapor.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to the meter.

• Do not use without the battery and the back case properly installed.

• Replace battery as soon as battery indicator appears to avoid false readings.

• Remove the test leads from the circuit prior to removing battery cover.

• Do not attempt to repair this unit as it has no user-serviceable parts.

To protect yourself, think “Safety First”:

• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose a shock hazard so use caution.

• Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, face shields,

insulating gloves, insulating boots, and/or insulating mats.

• Before each use:

 -  Perform a continuity test by touching the test leads together to verify the

    functionality of the battery and test leads.

 -  Use the 3 Point Safety Method. (1) Verify meter operation by measuring a known

   voltage. (2) Apply meter to circuit under test. (3) Return to the known live voltage

    again to ensure proper operation.

• Use the proper terminals, functions and range for your measurements.

• Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements.

• Connect the black common lead to ground or neutral before applying the red test lead to

potential voltage. Disconnect the red test lead from the voltage first.

• Always work with a partner.

• When using the probes, keep fingers as far behind the probe tips as possible.
