374, 375, 376 Users Manual • Do not use the Meter around explosive gas, vapor or in damp or wet environments. • Use only type AA batteries, properly installed in the Meter case, to power the Meter. • When measuring current with the Jaw, keep fingers behind the Tactile Barrier. See "The Meter" . • To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock and injury, replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator () appears. • When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement parts. • Have the Meter serviced only by qualified service personnel. • Be careful around voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. Such voltages pose a shock hazard. • Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the terminals or between any terminal and earth ground. • When using the probes, keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes. • Connect the common test lead before connecting the live test lead. When disconnecting test leads, disconnect the live test lead first. • Do not work alone so assistance can be rendered in an emergency. • Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars. Contact with the conductor could result in electric shock. 4
