1.4.Intended Use
PM series balances have been designed to enable precise determination of mass in
laboratory.
1.5. Precautions
Prior the first use, carefully read this User Manual. Use the device only as intended.
Do not operate the touch panel using sharp-edged tools (knife, screwdriver, etc.).
Place weighed loads in the centre of the weighing pan.
Load the weighing pan with loads of gross weight which does not exceed the maximum
capacity.
Mind not to leave heavy loads on the weighing pan for longer periods of time.
In case of damage, immediately unplug the device from the mains.
