2.34 Do not use this meter to measure current in circuits whose open circuit
voltage exceeds 250V AC/DC. The meter’s fuses are rated at 250V max.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or
injury to the user.
2.35 When you use the meter to check a high-voltage circuit, do not try to
connect both test leads at once. Instead, clip one probe to the neutral
or ground lead of the circuit (usually a bare, green, or white wire in AC
wiring circuits) using the insulated slip-on Alligator Clips. Then probe
for voltages with the other test lead. This helps prevent you from
accidentally touching a hot wire, since you need to concentrate on only
one test lead. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to
the meter or injury to the user.
2.36 If there is any doubt about the condition of the meter (i.e. safe vs unsafe),
remove the meter from service and secure it in a location that will prevent
its unintentional use. Failure to observe this precaution may result in
damage to the meter or injury to the user.
2.37 Do not use the meter if it does not appear to work correctly on all ranges and
in all modes. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to
the meter or injury to the user.
2.38 Do not use the meter if it has undergone long-term storage under unfavor-
able conditions. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to
the meter or injury to the user.
2.39 Do not use the meter if it may have been damaged in transport. Failure to
observe this precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to
the user.
2.40 Always connect one of the meter’s alligator clips to the low side of a power
circuit first. Never clamp onto a hot wire first, (usually red, black, or blue
in AC wiring circuits.) If you clamp onto a hot wire first, and touch the
other probe, you could receive a shock. Failure to observe this precaution
may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.
2.41 To avoid damage to the meter and possible user injury, disconnect test leads
from test points before changing the function/range. Failure to observe this
precaution may result in damage to the meter or injury to the user.
