If a different origin is active, press SET and hold it while pressing ABS/REL until the Main
Origin is active.
3. Set the pre-setter's scaling to measure diameter. Refer to page 13 to select the scaling.
4. Release the X-axis Locking Knob and position the Probe in contact with the Tool Sleeve's
diameter (above the
knurled area), as shown below.
5. Press the SET key and hold while pressing the CLEAR Key. The display will show 3.7325" in
inch mode and 99.49 (Or the engraved value of the tool pot) mm in metric mode. The X-axis is
