mmSafety

In this manual, the word “WARNING” identifies

conditions and actions that pose hazard(s) to the

user. The word “CAUTION” refers to conditions

and/or actions that can damage the instrument. Use

of the instrument in a manner not specified may im-

pair safety. Read the following safety information

carefully before attempting to operate or service the

instrument.

• Avoid working alone.

• Disconnect the power and discharge high-

voltage capacitors before testing in Ohms

Continuity, Diode, Capacitance, and COMPO-

NENT Test.

• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or

exposed metal. Check test lead continuity.

Damaged leads should be replaced.

• Do not use the GMM if it looks damaged.

• Select the proper function and range for your

measurement.

• Use caution when working above 60V dc or 30V

ac rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

• When using the probes, keep your fingers away

from probe contacts. Keep your fingers behind

the finger guards on the probes.

• Place test leads in proper input terminals.

• Disconnect the live test lead before disconnect-

ing the common test lead.

• When measuring current, turn the power off to

the circuit being tested before connecting the

GMM test tool in that circuit.

• Check GMM test tool fuses before measuring

current transformer secondary or motor winding

current. (See Testing the Fuses in the User

Maintenance chapter.) An open fuse may allow

high voltage buildup, which is potentially haz-

ardous.

• Use clamp-on probes (current clamps) when

measuring currents exceeding 10A.
