The loaded sample
may fall off the pan
and cause an injury
and/or damage to the
sample and
surrounding objects.
Do not place the
balance on an
unstable base or
use the balance in a
location where it
may be subjected
to vibration.
The loaded sample

Do not use the balance in the following places:
Location where it
may be subject to
air from an
air-conditioning
unit:
Extreme changes in
the ambient
temperature may
result in inaccurate
measurements.

relative humidity.
Location where it is
subject to direct
sunlight:
An internal
temperature increase
in the balance may
lead to inaccurate
measurement.
Unstable base or
location where it
may be subjected
to vibration:
In addition to failing to
measure the sample
accurately, the loaded
sample may fall off
the pan and cause an
injury.
Soft floor:
When loaded with a
sample, the balance
may tip or move,
preventing accurate
measurements from
being conducted.
Tilted surface:
When the balance is
tilted, an error may be
caused, preventing
accurate
measurement from
being conducted.
Place the balance on
a level surface.
