SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (strict observance is required)

WARNING
Checks of Body and Test Lead
Before measurement, confirm there are no damage on the body of this
instrument and handle insulators and cables of the Test Leads. Dust, grease
and moisture must be removed.
Prohibition of High Power Line Measurement
Do not measure High Power Line (High Energy Circuits) such as Distribution
Transformers, Bus Bars and Large Motors. High Power Line sometimes
includes High Surge Voltage that could cause explosive short in the
instrument and could result in shock hazard. Generally, shock hazard could
occur when the current between the circuit, that involves more than 30V AC
or 42.4V DC, and ground goes up to 0.5mA or more.

Warning for High Voltage Measurement

Even for Low Power Circuits of electric/electronic appliances, High Voltage
Measurements are very dangerous. To avoid electric shock hazard, be sure
not to touch any part of the circuit.

Warning for Dangerous Voltage Measurement

Follow these steps when measuring high voltage circuit.
①Turn off the circuit to be measured.
②Press POWER Key to turn on the instrument.
③Insert black & red test lead to the input terminals.
④Attach Alligator Clips (option) to the both red and black test pins.
⑤Connect black alligator clip to Earth side (−), and red one to positive (＋)
side after verifying that the circuit to be measured is turned off.
⑥Place the instrument stably without holding your hands. Keep safety distance
from the circuit to be measured not to touch your hands, body, or test leads.
⑦Turn on the circuit to be measured. See the readings on the screen.
⑧Turn off the circuit to be measured. Detach red and black alligator clips
from the circuit.

When measuring live-line, strictly observe the warnings below :

①Wear insulated gloves.
②Place the instrument stably without holding your hands.
③Press POWER Key to turn on the instrument.
④Insert black & red test lead to the input terminals.
⑤Attach Alligator Clip (option) to black test pin. Connect it to Earth side (−)
of the circuit to be measured.
⑥Keep safety distance from the circuit to touch your hands, body, or test leads.
⑦Contact red test pin to positive (＋) side of the circuit to be measured.
⑧See the readings on the screen.
⑨Detach red test pin first, then detach black alligator clip from the circuit.
