Operating Instructions

The NEIKO 01408A digital caliper allows for four types of measurements:

1. Outside Measurement

Use the large jaws to measure external dimensions. Open the jaws, place the object between them, and slide the movable jaw until it firmly contacts the object. Read the measurement on the LCD screen.

2. Inside Measurement

Use the small upper jaws to measure internal dimensions. Insert the small jaws into the opening of the object and expand them until they firmly contact the inner surfaces. Read the measurement on the LCD screen.

3. Depth Measurement

Use the depth rod located at the end of the movable jaw. Place the end of the main beam on the top surface of the object and extend the depth rod until it touches the bottom of the hole or step. Read the measurement on the LCD screen.

4. Step Measurement

Use the step measuring faces. Place the end of the main beam on the upper surface of the step and slide the movable jaw until its step measuring face rests on the lower surface. Read the measurement on the LCD screen.

Measurement Modes Conversion

The caliper features a dedicated button for switching between measurement units:

• Press the "inch/F" button to cycle between inches (decimal), fractions, and millimeters.
• The current unit will be displayed on the LCD screen.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Keep the caliper clean and dry. Wipe the measuring surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth after each use. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the caliper in its protective case when not in use to prevent damage and keep it free from dust and moisture.
• Battery Replacement: If the display becomes dim or erratic, replace the battery. The caliper uses a standard button cell battery (typically CR2032).
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the sliding surfaces to ensure smooth movement.
