Hi Nelson,
I checked the specs of your meter. First it is a CAT III meter with ETL and CE certifications. However it is a manual meter, i.e you have to select the appropriate ranges for each function. It does not measure current, but does measure resistance. There is a caution to make sure that the circuit is not energized when using the resistance function and that capacitors must be discharged. It warns that selecting the incorrect function can cause internal damage and it is not repairable.
There is no mention of an internal fuse, so I assume it doesn't have one. For run of the mill ac / dc voltage and resistance measurements I don't see anything wrong with it.
I have a number of good meters but usually just use my cheapie for most stuff.
