4. Operating instructions
● Never make measurement on a circuit in which the electrical
potential exceeds AC300V in order to avoid possible shock
● The transformer jaws are made of metal and their tips are
not completely insulated. Be especially careful about the
possible shorting where the measured object has exposed
● Take sufficient care to avoid shock, vibration or excessive
force when handling the instrument. Otherwise, precisely
adjusted transformer jaws will be damaged.
● When transformer jaws do not fully close, never try to close
them by force, but make them free to move and try again. If
a foreign substance is stuck in the jaw tips, remove it.
● Do not force to open the Transformer jaws when they are
● When making current measurements, keep the transformer
jaws fully closed. Other wise, ac curate measurements

● Hold the inserting part (except for the cable) and disconnect
the Output terminal from the measuring instrument so as not
to cause a break in the cord.
(1) Connect the Output terminal t o the Inp ut terminal o f the
(2) Press the Trigger to open the transformer jaws and clamp
onto one conductor. Clamped conductor should be at the
center of the closed transformer jaws.
(3)Ensure that the tips of transformer jaws are firmly closed.
