SAFETY INFORMATION
The following safety information must be observed to insure maximum
personal safety during
the operation at this meter:
•Do not use the meter if the unit or test leads look damaged, or if you suspect that the
meter is not operating properly
.
•Never ground yourself when taking electrical measurements. Do not touch exposed metal
pipes, outlets, fixtures, etc. Keep your body isolated from ground by using dry clothing,
rubber shoes, rubber mats or any approved insulating material.
•
Turn the power to off before testing circuit, cutting, unsoldering or breaking the
circuit. Small amounts of current can be dangerous.
•Use caution when working above 60V de or 30V ac rms. 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 maydamage the meter
and expose the operator to a shock hazard.Always recognize the meter voltage limit
as stated on the front of the meter.
•Never apply voltage or current to the meter that exceeds the specified
maximum.
SAFETY INFORMATION
This symbol adjacent to another symbol, terminalor operating
device indicates that the operator must refer to an explanation in
the Operating
Instructions to avoid personal injury or damage to
the
meter.
This
WARNING
symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
This
CAUTION
symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation,
which if not avoided, may result damage to the product.
This symbol advises that the terminal(s) so marked must not be
connected to a circuit point
at which the voltage with respect to
earth ground exceeds (in this case) 600 VAC or VDC.
This symbol adjacent to one or more terminals identifies them as being
associated with ranges that may, in normal use, be subjected to
particularly hazardous voltages. For maximum safety, the meter and its
test leads should not be handled when these terminals are energised.
