Danger
Avoid electrical shock: Do not
touch the test leads, tips or the
circuit being tested.
Do not try a voltage measure-
ment with the test leads in the
20A or the
mA terminal.
When testing for the presence of voltage or current, make sure the
meter is functioning correctly. Take a reading of a known voltage
or current before accepting a zero reading.
Choose the proper range and function for the measurement. Do not
try voltage or current measurements that may exceed the ratings
marked on the
FunctionIRange switch or terminal.
When measuring current, connect the meter in series with the load.
Never connect more than one set of test leads to the meter.
Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test
lead.
The mA and the 20A terminals are protected by fuses. To avoid
possible injury or damage, use only
in
circuits limited to 400mA or
10A continuous 120A for 30 seconds.

IMPORTANT
To maintain accuracy of the meter, replace the discharged battery
immediately when the battery symbol
appears on the meter
display.
Avoid measuring error from outside interference: keep the meter
away from spark plug or coil wires.
Avoid damaging the meter when testing voltage: Disconnect the test
leads from the test points before changing functions.
Do not exceed the limits shown in the table below:

Ohms can not be measured
if
voltage is present, ohms can be
measured only in a non-powered circuit. However, the meter is
protected to 500 volts.
