2. Safety information
The following safety information must be observed in order to ensure maximum personal safety during the use
of this device.
• Do not use the meter if the meter or the test leads look damaged or if you suspect the meter is not
operating properly.
• Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Do not touch exposed metal pipes, outlets,
fixtures, etc., which might be at ground potential. Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry
clothing, rubber shoes, rubber mats or any other approved insulating material.
• Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, unsoldering, or breaking the circuit. Even small
amounts of current can be dangerous.
• Use caution when working above 60VDC or 30VAC rms as such voltages pose a shock hazard.
• When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• Measuring voltage which exceeds the limits of the multimeter may damage the meter and expose the
operator to electrical shocks. Always respect the meter voltage limits as stated on the front of the meter.
