possible conditions and situations that may occur. common sense and caution are factors that cannot be built
into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
NOTE: Keep this manual for safety warnings, precautions, operating, inspection and maintenance instructions.
WORK AREA
1. Operate in a safe work environment. Keep your work area clean and well lit.
2. Do not use in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
3. Keep anyone not wearing the appropriate safety equipment away from the work area.
4. Minimize distractions in the work environment. Distractions can cause you to lose control of the tool.

PERSONAL SAFETY
CAUTION! Wear protective equipment approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) when using the tool.
1. Head Protection
a. Always wear impact safety goggles that provide front and side protection for the eyes.
b. Wear the appropriate rated dust mask or respirator when working around metal, wood and chemical
dusts or mists.
c. Wear earplugs if the power tool or work environment is noisy.
d. Wear a full-face shield if your work creates metal filings or wood chips.
e. Wear a hard hat to protect your head from falling objects.
2. Gloves
a. The gloves should provide protection based on the work materials.
b. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the effects of vibration.
3. Protective Clothing
a. Wear protective clothing designed for the work environment and tool. Examples are electrical non-
conductive clothes or clothes treated to resist corrosive liquids or materials.
4. Foot Protection
a. Steel toe footwear or steel toe caps to prevent injury from falling objects.
b. Non-skid footwear is recommended to maintain footing and balance.
5. Control the tool, personal movement and the work environment to avoid personal injury or damage to tool.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use your common sense.
a. Keep articles of clothing, jewelry, hair, etc., away from moving parts to avoid entanglement with a tool.
b. Do not operate any machine/tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
c. Do not overreach when operating a tool. Proper footing and balance enables better control of a tool in
unexpected situations.
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Use caution when working above 30V AC rms, 42V peak, or 60V DC. Such voltages pose a
shock hazard.
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
1. Do not use the meter if it is damaged. Before you use the meter, inspect the case. Pay particular attention to
the insulation surrounding the connectors.
2. Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test leads for continuity. Replace
damaged test leads before you use the meter.
3. Do not use the meter if it malfunctions. Protective features may be impaired. When in doubt, have the
meter serviced.
4. Do not operate the meter around explosive gas, vapor, or dust as an electric spark may cause the gas vapour
or dust to ignite.
5. Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the meter, between terminals or between any
terminal and earth ground.
6. When measuring current, turn off power to the circuit before connecting the meter. Remember to place the
meter in series with the circuit.
7. When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
8. Remove the test leads from the meter before you open the battery cover or the case.
9. Do not operate the meter with the battery cover or portions of the case removed or loosened.
10. To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery as
soon as the low battery indicator appears.
