2.34

Do not use this meter to measure current in circuits

whose open circuit voltage exceeds 600V AC/DC.

The meter's fuses are rated at 600V 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 injury to the user.

2.36

If there is any doubt about the condition of the

meter (i.e. safe vs unsafe), remove the meter from

service and secure it in a location that will prevent

its unintentional use. Failure to observe this

precaution may result in damage to the meter or

injury to the user.
