Elenco 3 1/2 Digit with Temperature - Manual (Page 4)

Table 1. Safety Information (continued)
Warning
• When servicing the meter, use only specified replacement parts.
• Use caution when working above 30VAC rms, 42V peak, or 60VDC.
Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
• Avoid working alone.
• When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards
on the probes.
• Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test lead.
When you disconnect test leads, disconnect the live test lead first.
• Remove test leads from the meter with the battery door or portions
of the cover removed or loosened.
• 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.
• Use only type “AA” batteries or equivalent, properly installed in the
meter case, to power the meter.
• To avoid the potential for fire or electrical shock, do not connect the
thermocouples to electrically live circuits.
Caution
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these
guidelines:
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
• Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your
measurements.
• Before measuring current, check the meter’s fuses and turn power
OFF to the circuit before connecting the meter to the circuit.
