2.32 Use caution when measuring circuits containing
capacitors. Capacitors can store dangerous or lethal
levels of electricity, even when the circuitry which they
are in has been disconnected from its power source.
Some capacitors could source enough energy to
damage the meter and/or injure the user.
2.33 Do not use the meter if there is evidence of chemical
leakage from the battery. Leakage could damage
meter and lead to injury of user.
2.34
Do not use this meter to measure current in circuits
whose open circuit voltage exceeds 250V AC/DC.
The meter’s fuses are rated at 250V max. Failure to
observe this precaution may result in damage to the
meter or injury to the user.
2.35 When you use the meter to check a high-voltage
circuit, do not try to connect both test leads at once.
Instead, clip one probe to the neutral or ground lead
of the circuit (usually
a bare, green, or white wire in
AC wiring circuits) using the insulated slip-on
Alligator Clips. Then probe for voltages with the other
test lead. This helps prevent you from accidentally
touching a hot wire, since you need to concentrate
on only one test lead. Failure to observe
this
precaution may result in damage to the meter or
