Read First: Safety Information
Understand and follow operating
instructions carefully. Use the tester and
test leads only as specified in this manual;
otherwise, the protection provided by the
tester can be impaired.
WARNING
To avoid possible electric shock,
personal injury or death, follow these
guidelines:
• Do not use if tester appears damaged.
Visually inspect the tester to ensure
case and is not cracked.
• Inspect and replace test leads if
insulation is damaged, metal is
exposed, or probes are cracked. Pay
particular attention to the insulation
surrounding the connectors.
• Always ensure the tester, test leads
and all accessories meet or exceed the
measurement category required in the
working environment. (i.e. CAT rating)
#61-085 • Note that the measurement category
#61-086
and voltage rating of combinations
of the tester, the test leads, and
the accessories is the lowest of the
individual components.
• Do not use tester if it operates
abnormally as protection maybe
impaired.
• Do not use during electrical storms or
in wet weather.
• Do not use around explosive gas, dust,
vapor, amperage or in damp or wet
environments.
• Do not apply more than the rated
voltage to the tester.
• Remove the test leads from the input
jacks before measuring current.
• Remove the test leads from the meter
prior to removing battery cover. (61-086)
• Do not use without the battery and
battery cover properly installed. (61-086)
• Do not attempt to repair this unit as it
has no user-serviceable parts.
• Never ground yourself when taking
electrical measurements.
• Connect the black common lead to
ground or neutral before applying
the red test lead to potential voltage.
Disconnect the red test lead from the
voltage first.
• When using the probes, keep fingers
behind the guard rings of the probe
tips.
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC
pose a shock hazard so use caution.
