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youdothe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.
 Donotusethedeviceastheonlytooltoidentifyliveterminals.Injurytopersonscanoccuriflive
terminalsarenotidentifiedproperly.
 When
doingvoltagechecksonliveoutlets,ensurethatthetipsofthetestleadsaretouchingthe
metalcontactsthataretypicallyrecesseddeepintheoutlet;failuretodosocanleadtoinjuryto
persons.
 Donottouchexpiredordamagedbatterieswithoutgloves.Injurytopersonscan
occur.
 Donotshort‐circuit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.
