W Safety Information
Use of instrument in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer may impair safety features/protection provided by
the equipment.
Read the following safety information carefully before using or
servicing the instrument.
To avoid electric shock or fire, do the following:
• Avoid working alone.
• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed
metal. Check test lead continuity. Damaged leads must be
replaced. Do not use the Meter if it looks damaged.
• Be careful when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak
and 60 V dc. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
• When using the probes, keep your fingers away from probe
contacts. Keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the
probes.
• Measurements can be adversely affected by impedances of
additional operating circuits connected in parallel or by
transient currents.
• Verify operation prior to measuring hazardous voltages
(voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak and 60 V dc).
• Place test leads in proper input terminals.
• Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the
neutral test lead.
• Do not use the Meter if the battery indicator (G ) shows a
battery empty condition.
• Use only Fluke recommended batteries and fuse.
• Do not use the Meter with any parts or cover removed.
• Do not use the Meter around explosive gas, vapor or dust.
• Disconnect the test leads from power sources and from the
Meter before changing the batteries or fuse.
• Do not use the Meter in a wet environment.
• Use only Fluke specified test leads.
