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.

•  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. 

(61-076, 61-080)

•  Do not use without the battery and battery 

  cover properly installed. 

(61-076, 61-080)

•  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.
