Initial Preparation

• Before first use, gently wipe the flat anvil and the spindle tip with a clean, soft cloth to remove any dust or debris.
• Ensure the pointer on the dial is reset to zero when the jaws are closed and no material is present. If it is not, gently clean the contact points again.

Operating Instructions

Basic Measurement Procedure

1. Hold the gauge firmly by the grip handle.
2. Press the thumb trigger to open the measuring jaws, lifting the spindle from the flat anvil.
3. Carefully insert the material to be measured between the flat anvil and the spindle tip. Ensure the material lies flat and is not creased or bent.
4. Gently release the thumb trigger, allowing the spindle to slowly descend and make contact with the material. Avoid dropping the spindle onto the material abruptly.
5. Read the measurement directly from the dial indicator. The large numbers indicate millimeters, and the smaller markings represent tenths of a millimeter.
6. Remove the material by pressing the thumb trigger again.

Measurement Tips

• Always ensure the flat anvil and spindle tip are clean before each measurement to prevent inaccurate readings.
• Verify that the pointer resets to zero when the jaws are closed and empty.
• Apply consistent, gentle pressure when releasing the thumb trigger to ensure proper contact without deforming the material.
• This gauge is suitable for measuring thin materials such as paper, film, leather, steel plate, and other similar items.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe the gauge, especially the measuring surfaces, with a clean, dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the gauge in its provided storage case when not in use. This protects it from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
• Environment: Avoid exposing the gauge to extreme temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Handling: Handle the gauge with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can affect its accuracy.
