Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Read all safety information before you use the Product.
• Use the Product only as specified, or the protection
supplied by the Product can be compromised.
• Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal
protective equipment (approved rubber gloves, face
protection, and flame-resistant clothes) to prevent shock
and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are
exposed.
• Examine the case before you use the Product. Look for
cracks or missing plastic. Carefully look at the insulation
around the terminals.
• Replace the mains power cord if the insulation is damaged
or if the insulation shows signs of wear.
• Use Product-approved measurement category (CAT),
voltage, and amperage rated accessories (probes, test
leads, and adapters) for all measurements.
• Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test
leads for damaged insulation and measure a known voltage.
• Do not use the Product if it is damaged.
• The battery door must be closed and locked before you
operate the Product.
• Do not work alone.
• Use this Product indoors only.
• Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in
damp or wet environments.
• Use only the external mains power supply included with the
Product.
• Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of
the lowest rated individual component of a Product, probe,
or accessory.
• Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• Do not use a current measurement as an indication that a
circuit is safe to touch. A voltage measurement is necessary
to know if a circuit is hazardous.
