6.3 Replacing Fuses
If a fuse is blown, replace it with a new one as follows.
For details on how to check that the fuse is blown, see “3 Check
that the fuse is not broken.” (p. 32).
WARNING
•
To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from
the object to be measured before replacing the fuse.
• Replace the fuse only with one of the specifi ed type,
characteristics, rated current, and rated voltage.
Do not use fuses other than those specifi ed
(especially, do not use a fuse with higher-rated
current) or do not short circuit and use the fuse
holder. Doing so may damage the instrument and
result in personal injury.
