Multimeter
The STANLEY Multimeter is a CAT III
300 V 10 A compact digital multimeter for
measuring DC and AC voltage, DC current,
resistance, continuity, diode polarity, and
temperature. It features polarity indication, data
hold, and overrange indication.
User Safety
WARNING: Read and understand all
instructions before using product.
Failure to follow all instructions may result in
severe injury or death:
• CAT III – This measurement Category III
multimeter is for use on permanently installed
loads. Examples are measurements on
distribution boards, circuit breakers, wiring,
and equipment like xed installation motors.
Do not use the meter for measurements
higher than Category III 300 V 10 A.
• DO NOT use the meter if it is damaged.
Before using the meter, inspect the case.
Pay particular attention to the insulation
surrounding the connectors.
• ALWAYS Inspect the test leads for damaged
insulation or exposed metal. Check the test
leads for continuity. Replace damaged test
leads before you use the meter.
• DO NOT use the meter if it operates
abnormally. Protection may be impaired.
• DO NOT operate the meter where explosive
gas, vapor, or dust is present.
• DO NOT apply more than the rated voltage,
as marked on the meter, between terminals or
between any terminal and earth ground.
• ALWAYS verify the meter’s operation by
measuring a known voltage before use.
• ALWAYS turn off circuit power before
connecting the meter in the circuit to measure
current. Remember to place the meter in
series with the circuit.
• ALWAYS turn off circuit power before
connecting the meter to the circuit to measure
resistance.
• ALWAYS Use caution when working with
voltage above 30 V AC rms, 42 V peak, or
60 V DC. These voltages pose an increased
shock hazard.
• ALWAYS keep your ngers behind the nger
guards on the probes when in use.
• ALWAYS connect the common test lead
before you connect the live test lead. When
you disconnect test leads, disconnect the live
test lead rst.
• ALWAYS Remove the test leads from the
meter before you open the battery cover or the
case.
• DO NOT operate the meter with the battery
