Operation
WXWarning
DO NOT USE the tester to test cables that
may have hazardous voltages present.
When the tester indicates
the presence of
high ac voltages, CAREFULLY DISCONNECT
IMMEDIATELY to prevent any personal
injury. Hazardous dc voltages can be present
on any cable at any time. The tester does
NOT detect or indicate the presence of dc
voltages. Use care when connecting to
cables.
Do not use the test set if it is damaged.
Before you use the test set, inspect the case.
Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay
particular attention to the insulation
surrounding the connectors.
Always handle the clip leads and the cables
by their insulation, NEVER directly by the
conductive wire. Use only the insulated clips
provided to connect to any wire or cable.
