Important Safety Information
- Always place the scale on a hard, flat surface for accurate readings. Avoid carpets or uneven floors.
- The scale surface can be slippery when wet. Ensure the surface is dry before stepping on.
- Do not jump on the scale or drop heavy objects on it, as this may damage the mechanism.
- This scale is designed for body weight measurement only. Do not use it for commercial purposes.
- Maximum weight capacity is 350 lb. Do not exceed this limit.
Setup and Initial Calibration
Before using your Adamson A27 scale for the first time, it is crucial to calibrate it to ensure accurate measurements. This scale operates without batteries, relying on a mechanical spring system.
- Unpack the Scale: Carefully remove the scale from its packaging.
- Place on a Flat Surface: Position the scale on a firm, level surface, such as a tiled or wooden floor. Avoid placing it on carpets or rugs, as this can affect accuracy.
- Check the Pointer: Observe the dial. The pointer should be aligned precisely with the "0" mark.
- Calibrate (if necessary): If the pointer is not at "0", locate the small calibration wheel, typically found underneath or on the side of the scale. Gently turn this wheel until the pointer aligns with the "0" mark.

Your scale is now ready for use.
Operating Instructions
Using your Adamson A27 scale is simple and straightforward:
- Ensure Calibration: Before each use, quickly check that the pointer is at the "0" mark. If not, recalibrate using the wheel as described in the Setup section.
- Step On: Step onto the center of the scale platform with both feet. Stand still and distribute your weight evenly.
- Read Your Weight: Wait for the dial to stabilize, then read your weight from the large, clear numbers on the display. The scale measures in pounds only.
- Step Off: Step off the scale. The pointer will return to "0".
For consistent tracking of your body weight, it is recommended to measure yourself at the same time each day, ideally in the morning before eating or drinking, and wearing minimal clothing.
