Safety Information
A “XW Warning” statement defines hazardous conditions and actions that could cause bodily harm or
death.
A “W Caution” statement identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Meter or the
equipment under test.
XWRead First: Safety Information
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, and to avoid possible
damage to the Meter or the equipment under test, adhere to the following
practices:
• Read the Users Manual before use and follow all safety instructions.
• Use the Meter only as specified in the Users Manual; otherwise, the Meter's
safety features may be impaired.
• Avoid working alone so assistance can be rendered.
• Never use the Meter on a circuit with voltages higher than 600 V or a
frequency higher than 60 Hz fundamental. The Meter may be damaged.
• Never measure ac current while the test leads are inserted into the input
jacks.
• Do not use the Meter or test leads if they look damaged. Inspect the case.
Do not use the Meter if it is damaged. Look for cracks or missing plastic.
Pay particular attention to the insulation around the connectors.
• Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars.
Contact with the conductor could result in electric shock.
• Use caution when working with voltages above 60 V dc or 30 V ac rms or
42 V ac peak. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Clean the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent only. Do not use
abrasives or solvents.
• To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock and injury, replace
the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator (B) appears.
• Verify the Meter’s operation by measuring a known voltage. Do not use the
Meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in doubt,
have the Meter serviced.
• Do not hold the Meter anywhere beyond the tactile barrier, see Figure 1.
• Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment
must be used to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live
conductors are exposed.
• Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.
• Do not operate the Meter with the case (or part of the case) removed.
• When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement parts.
