Warning Statements
 Do not operate the device if you do not have the correct knowledge. Formal
qualifications and/or national legislation for the electrical inspections can apply. Incorrect
operation of the device can cause damage, shock, injury or death to persons.
 Do not start the measuring procedure before you have set the function switch to the
correct position. This can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to
persons.
 Do not change to current or resistance when you measure the voltage. This can cause
damage to the instrument and can cause injury to persons.
 Do not measure the current on a circuit when the voltage increases to more than 1000 V.
This can cause damage to the instrument and can cause injury to persons.
 You must disconnect the test leads from the circuit that you did a test on before you
change the range. If you do not do this, damage to the instrument and injury to persons
can occur.
 Do not replace the batteries before you remove the test leads. This can cause damage to
the instrument and can cause injury to persons.
 Do not use the device if the test leads and/or the device show signs of damage. Injury to
persons can occur.
 Be careful when taking measurements if the voltages are more than 25 VAC rms or 35
VDC. There is a risk of shock from these voltages. Injury to persons can occur.
 Do not do diode, resistance or continuity tests before you have removed the power from
capacitors and other devices under test during a measurement. Injury to persons can
occur.
 Make sure that children cannot touch the device. The device contains dangerous objects
and small parts that children can swallow. If a child swallows an object or a part, speak
with a physician immediately. Injury to persons can occur.
 Do not let children play with the batteries and/or the packing material. These can be
dangerous for children if they use them as toys.
 Do not touch expired or damaged batteries without gloves. Injury to persons can occur.
 Do not cause a short circuit of the batteries. This can cause damage to the instrument
and can cause injury to persons.
 Do not put the batteries into a fire. Injury to persons can occur.
