SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
E094-01
—Read All Instructions Before Using The Probe—
Exceeding the limits of this meter is Dangerous. It will expose you to
serious or possible fatal injury. Carefully read and understand the cautions
and the specifications limits of this meter.
Do not try to measure any voltage that exceeds 1000V DC or 750V AC RMS.
Voltages above 60V DC or 25V AC RMS may constitute a serious shock
hazard.
Circuit tested must be protected by a 15A fuse or circuit breaker.
Do not attempt to use this Meter if either the Meter or the test leads have been
damaged.
Use a current clamp to measure circuits exceeding 10A.
Avoid electrical shock: do not touch the test leads, tips or the circuit being
tested.
Select the proper function and range for the measurement. Do not try voltage
or current measurements that may exceed the ratings marked on the input limit
for switch or terminal.
Never connect more than one set of test leads to the Meter.
Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.
Battery gas is highly explosive. If a battery explodes flush the acid away from
skin with generous amounts of water. Follow up with a neutralizing solution of
baking soda and then more water.
Never use a wrench on the ungrounded battery terminal until the grounded
one has been disconnected. Contact between the vehicle body metal and the
hot terminal can cause sparks to ignite gas or even weld tools into a battery
short circuit.
Keep the space around a battery well ventilated. Do not make sparks or allow
flames near batteries.
Before working on a vehicle set the brakes and block the wheels. Beware of
automatic parking brake releases.
