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.
• Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads for
damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check test lead continuity.
• 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.
• Use only correct measurement category (CAT), voltage, and amperage
rated probes, test leads, and adapters for the measurement.
• Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the Product operates
correctly.
• Limit operation to the specified measurement category, voltage, or
amperage ratings.
• Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories before the battery door
is opened.
• Use the correct terminals, function, and range for measurements.
