Instruction Manual
WARNING
Read First: Safety Information
Use the tester only as specified in this manual;
otherwise, the protection provided by the tester
may be impaired.
Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal
injury, follow these instructions:
• Do not use tester if it is damaged. Visually
inspect tester to ensure case is not cracked.
• Inspect and replace leads if insulation is dam-
aged, metal is exposed, or probes are cracked.
• 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, or
vapor.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to
the tester.
• Always operate this solenoid-type tester
within the specified duty cycle on the front of
the tester.
• Do not use without batteries and caps
properly installed. (61-076)
• Remove test leads prior to removing battery
caps. (61-076)

Caution
To protect yourself, think "Safety First":
• Voltages exceeding 30VAC or 60VDC pose a
shock hazard so use caution.
• Never ground yourself when taking electrical
measurements.
• Use appropriate personal protective equip-
ment such as safety glasses, face shields,
insulating gloves, insulating boots, and/or
insulating mats.
• Before each use:
• Perform a continuity test by touching the
probe tips together, the continuity LED
should light. This test verifies the func-
tionality of the batteries and test leads.
(61-076)
• Verify tester operation by measuring a
known voltage. Apply tester to circuit under
test. And, then test on the known live volt-
age again to ensure proper operation.
• Connect the black common lead to
ground before applying the red test lead
to voltage. Disconnect the red test lead
from the voltage first.
• Always work with a partner.
• When using the probes, keep fingers as far
behind the probe tips as possible.
