IT IS PROHIBITED:
•To use the handifor™ in a man lifting line.
•To modify the appliance housing by machining, drilling or any
other process.
•To use handifor™ beyond their maximum capacity.
•To arc-weld with the handifor™ in the ground circuit.
•To disassemble or open the sensor.
•To use the appliance for operations other than those described
in this manual.
In the event of overload, all stress on the
sensor must be completely relieved and
a check made that the appliance returns
to zero.
If the appliance shows a stress value,
even though tension is not applied, then
it has suffered a permanent distortion. In
this case, you must have the appliance
serviced by the manufacturer before
continuing to use it.

5.1.2. Automatic zero
On power up, the display will indicate "0" so long as the force measured
is less than 10 % of the maximum capacity of the device.

Note : If a tare is defined, for example at 50% of the device capacity,
therefore giving an indication of "0.0", if the load decreases, it will be
indicated on the screen as a negative value.For example, a decrease of
25 kg will give an indication of "–25.0".
