Proper alignment
PREPARATION FOR USE
Before using the caliper, follow the steps below:
●Do not apply excessive force to Vernier Slide.
Pushing against slide, or attempting to move without pressing the Thumb Lock may cause damage or inaccuracy.
●Wipe off any corrosion, dirt or oil from measuring surfaces and slide.
contamination of surfaces may cause measurement error.
●Allow the caliper and object to be measured time to reach the same temperature.
A temperature difference between the object to be measured and the caliper may cause measurement error. Allow enough time for the
temperatures to equilibrate.
●Performing an accuracy check.
①Jaw Alignment
In closed position, make sure the measuring surfaces on the outside
jaws align properly and there is no gap (no light should leak past.)
②Confirm “0”points on scale (see diagram at right)
With jaws closed as in step ①above, make sure the reading is zero and
the vernier scale graduations align at the “0”and “39”positions as shown.
③Depth Confirmation
Position caliper on a flat surface for depth measurement. Reading should
be “0”as in step ②above, with the vernier graduations aligned at the “0”
and “39”positions.
READING THE SCALE
The measured value is determined by reading the main scale,
and then adding the Vernier Scale reading as determined by
the position where the vernier and main scale graduations align.
PREVENTING ERRORS
In order to prevent measurement error, please note the following.
AFTER USE CARE, STORAGE NOTES
●Material : Stainless Steel
●Measuring Range : 150mm
●Resolution : 0.05mm
●Accuracy : ±0.05mm
●Weight : 150g
SPECIFICATIONS
●As required, wipe slide and measuring surfaces with a dry
cloth treated with anti-corrosive oil. When not in use, apply
anti-corrosive treatment or keep in anti-corrosive bag.
●When not in use, keep jaws slightly open to prevent thermal
expansion from creating excessive forces on jaws and
affecting accuracy.
●Store in supplied case when not in use in a cool, dry location.
●EXAMPLE1
Measured value = Main Scale Reading + Vernier Scale Reading
●EXAMPLE2Measured Value: 77.30㎜
●EXAMPLE3Measured Value: 77.35㎜
POSITIONING CALIPER ON OBJECT
VIEWING THE SCALE
<Flat surfaces>
When measuring features
with flat surfaces, make sure
the measuring surface of the
jaws are parallel to the
surfaces to be measured.
<Cylindrical surfaces>
When measuring cylindrical
features, make sure the
caliper jaws are perpendicular
to the cylinder axis as shown.
Scale should be read from
directly above the calipers.
Due to step in height of vernier
scale relative to main scale, if
viewing direction is not directly
above the reading may have
parallax error.

harm to yourself or others, and to prevent damage to property.
Read the manual and follow the instructions.
・Use of product other than as described in the manual
may cause accident.
Use only for measuring.
・Use for any purpose other than measuring may
damage or wear the instrument. Improper use may
also cause accident.
Handle with Care.
・Do not drop or subject instrument to excessive shock.
Do not place under heavy objects. Improper handling
may cause damage or poor accuracy.
・Do not scratch instrument, for example by writing ID
number.
Indicates risk of personal injury or property damage if not followed.
WARNING
Denotes a prohibition
-You MUST NOT do
Denotes a requirement
-You MUST do
Use in proper environment.
・Please do not use instrument in rain or locations with
excessive humidity. Do not use at extreme high or low
temperatures. Keep out of direct sunlight.
Jaw Tips are sharp - Handle with care.
・Careless handling may cause injury.
Do not move the Vernier slide without pressing
Thumb Lock.
・Excessive force applied to Slide may cause damage or
affect accuracy.
Do not disassemble or modify.
・Do not remove the vernier slide, Please do not attempt
to disassemble or modify as it may cause
damage or
poor accuracy.
CALIBRATION
●In order to maintain instrument accuracy, it is recommended that
accuracy is confirmed through calibration on a periodic basis.
Wear of measuring surfaces from repeated use may affect accuracy and periodic
accuracy checks should be performed.
We provide calibration services.
Please contact agent in country of
purchase to make arrangements.
