Safety Information
A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user. A
Caution identifies conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the Product or
the equipment under test.
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Carefully read all instructions.
• 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.
• Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in
damp or wet environments.
• Do not use the Product if it is damaged.
• Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the
terminals or between each terminal and earth ground.
• Do not touch voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
• Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of the
lowest rated individual component of a Product, probe, or
accessory.
• Do not use the HOLD function to measure unknown potentials.
When HOLD is turned on, the display does not change when a
different potential is measured.
• Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or
bus bars. Contact with the conductor could result in electric
shock.
• Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test
leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal, or if the wear
indicator shows. Check test lead continuity.
• Connect the common test lead before the live test lead and
remove the live test lead before the common test lead.
• Avoid simultaneous contact with battery and frame racks or
hardware that may be grounded.
• 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.
