Select right indenter according to the measuring scale, insert it to
the mount hole and lock the screw.
Start to test:

Turn the turret and make the indenter in front with a click sound,
make the workpiece stable. Press “CLR-F” to zero the test force,
slowly lift the stage and the test force on screen keep changing
until there is a promotion tone, now the test force is about 27kgf
(when test force less than or equal to 250kgf) or 90kgf
, the machine will start to loading the main
test force.
(when test
force larger than 250kgf)
Load, dwell and unload:

The machine will automatically loading, dwell and unloading,
there will be a promotion tone after unload.
Measure the indentation:

The hardness value will be shown on screen after two times
measurements, press “PRINT” key to print the results.

Note: The first measurement will not be counted, normally we test
5 times to get the average value for a workpiece.
Turn back down the stage, rotate the objective to front direction to
