instruments with an overvoltage category (CAT II) and pollution 2.
Follow all safety and operating instructions to ensure that the meter is used safely and is
kept in good operating condition.
1.1 PRELIMINARY
·When using the meter, the user must observe all normal safety rules concerning :
-Protection against the dangers of electrical current.
-Protection of the meter against misuse.
·Full compliance with safety standards can be guaranteed only if used with test
leads supplied. If necessary, they must be replaced with the same model or same
-1-

 electric ratings. Measuring leads must be in good condition.
1.2 DURING USE
·Never exceed the protection limit values indicated in specifications for each range
of measurement.
·When the meter is linked to a measurement circuit, do not touch unused terminals.
·When the value scale to be measured is unknown beforehand, set the range
selector at the highest position.
·Before rotating the range selector to change functions, disconnect test leads from
the circuit under test.
·When carrying out measurements on TV or switching power circuits, always
remember that there may be high amplitude voltage pulses at test points, which

 can damage the meter.
·Never perform resistance measurements on live circuits.
·Always is careful when working with voltages above 60V dc or 30V ac rms. Keep
fingers behind the probe barriers while measuring.
1.3 SYMBOLS
Important safety information, refer to the operating manual.

 1.4 MAINTENANCE
·Before opening the meter, always disconnect test leads from all sources of electric
current.
·For continue protection against fire, replace fuse only with the specified voltage
and current ratings:

·If any faults or abnormalities are observed, the meter can not be used any more
and it has to be checked out.
·Never use the meter unless the back cover is in place and fastened fully.
·To clean the meter, use a damp cloth and mild detergent only, do not use
