� WARNING
• Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on
a known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.
• Disconnect the test leads from the test points before changing meter functions.
• Inspect the Clampmeter, test leads and accessories before every use. Do not use
any damaged part.
• Never ground yourself when taking measurements. Do not touch exposed circuit
elements or test probe tips.
• Do not operate the instrument in an explosive atmosphere.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or
moisture.
• The meter is intended only for indoor use. To avoid electrical shock hazard,
observe the proper safety precautions when working with voltages above 60 VDC
or 30 VAC rms. These voltage levels pose a potential shock hazard to the user.
• Before and after hazardous voltage measurements, test the voltage function on
a known source such as line voltage to determine proper meter functioning.
• Keep your hands/fingers behind the hand/finger barriers (of the meter and the
test leads) that indicate the limits of safe access of the hand-held part during
measurement.
• Inspect test leads, connectors, and probes for damaged insulation or exposed
metal before using the instrument. If any defects are found, replace them
immediately.
• This Clamp-on meter is designed to apply around or remove from uninsulated
hazardous live conductors. Individual protective equipment must be used if
hazardous live parts of the installation could be accessible.
• Exercise extreme caution when: measuring voltage >20 V // current >10 mA //
AC power line with inductive loads // AC power line during electrical storms
// current, when the fuse blows in a circuit with open circuit voltage >600 V //
servicing CRT equipment.
• Remove test leads before opening the case to change the battery.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing
resistance,continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
• To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal
injury, replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator (�) appears.
