3. Precautions for Use
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
property damage.
NOTICE
• Do not use this product where it could be splashed with water and oil.
• Do not use an electric engraver to put marks on the product such as numbers.
• Do not drop the product or apply excessive force to it.
• Do not scratch the main scale surface.
• Keep the operation temperature and storage temperature.
• After use, take corrosion prevention measures. Corrosion can cause the product
to malfunction.
• If the product will not be used for more than three months, remove the battery
from and store it properly. Otherwise, liquid may leak from the battery and
damage the product.
• - Before using this product for the rst time, wipe the rust preventive oil from the product
with a soft cloth soaked with cleaning oil, and install the supplied battery.
• - If rust preventive oil is dried, the product might not operate smoothly. Wipe a sliding
surface with a cloth and then apply a little oil to use the product. This can make the
product operate smoothly.
4. Product Applications
Outside measurement Inside measurement
Except for constant force caliper
Step measurement Depth measurement
Except for types with nib style jaws and constant
force caliper
Except for types without depth bar
5. Basic Usage
■Using the caliper
Grasp the beam lightly with your right hand, put your right thumb on the slider nger rest,
and move the slider horizontally to measure.
Tips
For the measuring method details, refer to “7. Measurement Method”.
■Fixing the slider
The measurement value readings are usually taken with the workpiece clamped (or in
close contact). However, depending on the measuring location, the orientation during
measurement and so on, it may be di󰀩cult to get a reading in this position. In this case,
tighten the slider clamp screw, move the caliper carefully away from the workpiece, and
read the display.
■Using the thumb roller
The thumb roller is a ne feeding device, and not a constant-force device. Measuring
force tends to be large when measuring with the thumb roller. Carefully apply an
appropriate and even measuring force when using the thumb roller.
■Using the switch (about Icons)
6. ConrmationbeforeMeasurement
■ConrmingSliderMovement
•Conrm that there is no irregular slider movement and that the slider moves smoothly
throughout the measurement range.
•Conrm that there is no play of the slider in the vertical direction against the sliding
surface.
■ConrmingClearance(Wear)betweenMeasuringsurfaces
•When the outside measuring jaws are closed and
held to the light, conrm that there is no slit observed
between the jaws against the light, or that a faint light
is uniformly visible. As well, conrm that the jaw tips
are not deformed.
•When the inside measuring jaws are closed and held
to the light, observing the jaws obliquely, conrm that
a light is uniformly visible, and that the tips are not
deformed.

7. Installing the Battery and Setting the Origin
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
property damage.
NOTICE
• Be sure to use SR44 (a silver oxide battery). The supplied battery is used to check
functions and performance. Therefore, it might not provide the specied life.
• Be careful not to damage battery terminals when installing the battery.
When disposing of a used battery, follow all local laws and regulations.
7.1 Setting the battery
1 Slidethebatterylidtothespecieddirection(▼)andremoveit.
2 Install the battery (SR44) with its positive side facing upward.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in
property damage.
NOTICE
• Be sure to use SR44 (a silver oxide battery). The supplied battery is used to check
functions and performance. Therefore, it might not provide the specied life.
3 Return the battery lid to the original position.
» “-----” blinks immediately. Continue to set the origin.
» If “-----” does not blink, reinstall the battery.

Tips
• Be sure to set the origin after installing the battery.
• Immediately after inserting the battery, a meaningless number or “E” may be displayed,
however this is not a malfunction. Set the origin as it is.
7.2 Setting the origin
1 Make sure that the outside measuring surface is closed.
2 Hold down the [ORIGIN] switch for one second or more.
» “0.00” appears indicating that the origin has been set.

Tips
When the battery has been installed, do not move the slider until “0.00” appears as
the origin. Otherwise, the product might not count values correctly.
■Whenusingconstantforcecaliper(howtousetheconstantforcedevice)
1 Close the outside measuring surface so that the pointer of the constant
force device is aligned with the center line.
2 Hold down the [ORIGIN] switch for one second or more.
» “0.00” appears indicating that the origin has been set.

Tips
For measurement, insert the workpiece into the outside measuring jaws, and move
the slider so that the pointer of the constant force device is within the constant force
range (A). Read the display while keeping the outside measuring surfaces in close
contact.
