Keep this manual for the safety warnings and precautions, assembly, operating, inspection, maintenance and cleaning procedures. Write the product’s serial number in the back of the manual (or month and year of purchase if product has no number). Keep this manual and the receipt in a safe and dry place for future reference.

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas may cause accidents.

2. Do not connect or disconnect the Fuse Slot Tester while the ignition is on or the engine is running.

3. When working on a vehicle with the engine running, be careful of hot or moving engine components. Keep well clear of moving engine parts.

4. Before testing a vehicle, engage the parking brake and chock the tires.

5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.

6. Carbon Monoxide is produced while the vehicle’s engine is operating and is deadly in a closed environment. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, the work area may not be vented properly. Get fresh air immediately. Operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated work area.

7. Do not operate the Fuse Slot Tester in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or heavy dust.

8. Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/electrical fires nearby.

9. Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the engine is running.

10. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating the Fuse Slot Tester.

11. This product is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with or near this item.

12. Use as intended only.

13. Inspect before every use; do not use if parts are loose or damaged.

14. Do not place the Fuse Slot Tester on any unstable surface.

15. Handle the Fuse Slot Tester with care. If the Fuse Slot Tester is dropped, check for breakage and any other conditions that may affect its operation.

16. Keep the Scan Tool dry, clean, free from oil, water or grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the Scan Tool, when necessary.

17. Store the Fuse Slot Tester and accessories in a locked area out of the reach of children.

18. Maintain product labels and nameplates. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

1. Do not use the Fuse Slot Tester while standing in water.

2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

3. Do not expose the Fuse Slot Tester to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the Fuse Slot Tester increases the risk of electric shock.

4. Make sure your hands are dry before operating the Fuse Slot Tester.

1. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles during use.

2. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

3. Do not use the Fuse Slot Tester while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medications. A moment of interruption can result in serious personal injury.

4. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

5. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
