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)
• Note that the measurement category 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.
#61-080 • Do not use around explosive gas, dust, vapor,
amperage or in damp or wet environments.
#61-076
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to
#61-067
the tester.
#61-065
• Remove the test leads from the input jacks
before measuring current.
• Remove the test leads from the meter prior to
removing battery cover.
• Do not use without the battery and battery
cover properly installed.
• 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.
• Keep fingers behind the guard rings of the
probe tips.
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose a
shock hazard so use caution.
CAUTION
To protect yourself, think "Safety First":
• Comply with local and national safety codes.
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment
such as face shields,
insulating gloves, insulating boots,
and/or insulating mats.
• Before each use:
- Perform a continuity test by touching the
test leads together to verify the functionality
of the battery and test leads.
- Use the 3 Point Safety Method. (1) Verify
meter operation by measuring a known
voltage. (2) Apply meter to circuit under test.
(3) Return to the known live voltage again to
ensure proper operation.
• Always work with a partner.
