Safety
DANGER
Engines produce carbon monoxide which is
odorless, causes slower reaction time, and
can lead to serious injury. When the engine is
operating, keep service areas WELL
VENTILATED or attach the vehicle exhaust
system to the shop exhaust removal system.
Set the parking brake and block the wheels
before testing or repairing the vehicle. It is
especially important to block the wheels on
front-wheel drive vehicles; the parking brake
does not hold the drive wheels.
Wear an eye shield when testing or repair-ing
vehicles.
Exceeding the limits of this meter is dangerous.
lt will expose you to serious or possibly fatal
injury. Carefully read and understand the
cautions and the specification limits of this
meter.
Voltage between any terminal and ground
must not exceed 600V DC or 600V AC.
Use caution when measuring voltage above
25V DC or 25V AC.
Circuit tested must be protected by a 10A fuse or
circuit breaker.
Do not use the meter if it has been damaged.
Do not use the test leads if the insulation is damaged or if metal
is exposed.

Danger
Avoid electrical shock: do not touch the test
leads, tips or the circuit being tested.
Do not try a voltage measurement with the
test leads in the 10A or the mA terminal.
When testing for the presence of voltage or current, make sure
the meter is functioning correctly. Take a reading of a known
voltage or current before accepting a zero reading.
Choose the proper range and function for the measurement.
Do not try voltage or current measurements that may exceed
the ratings marked on the Function/Range switch or terminal.
When measuring current,connect the meter in series with the
load.
Never connect more than one set of test leads to the meter.
Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common
test lead.
The mA and the 10A terminals are protected by fuses. To avoid
possible injury or damage, use only in circuits limited to DC 10A
for 60 seconds.
