When using the tester with test leads, ensure that they 

are safe and properly authorized. Always prepare any 

test in advance and understand everything about it.
Disconnect the tester from any external circuit when 

checking or changing the Fuse and/or batteries.

CAUTION               READ THE MANUAL 

Follow the instructions in the Manual for every 

measurement. Read and understand the general 

instructions before attempting to use this tester.

2. Safety Check

Before using the tester, check the condition of the test 

leads, the fuse, and general appearance.
The leads must be free of cracks or any damages and 

must be insulated as when they were new.
Fuse replacement is described later in this user's 

manual.
Before replacing the fuse, always disconnect all leads 

and then remove the cover to access the internal 

circuitry.
When replacing the fuse, use only the type specified 

(HRC fuse), and insert correctly into the fuse holder.
Always double check the lead connections before 

making any measurements.
