FEATURES

• Range of Measurements: The caliper can measure from 0 to 6 inches (150 mm to 2 inches), and its precision of 0.0005 inches (1/128 inch), or 0.01 mm, is very good.
• High Accuracy: It’s accurate up to ±0.001 inch (0.02 mm), so you can be sure that the numbers you use for your projects are correct.
• Three Units Conversion: It’s easy to switch between three units of measurement: millimeters, fractions, and inches. This gives you options for different jobs.

• Large LCD Display: It has an extra-large, easy-to-read LCD screen that makes it viewable even in low light and makes it easier to use.
• Construction from Polished Stainless Steel: Made from polished stainless steel for long-lasting performance, sturdiness, and a smooth sliding action.
• Measurement Flexibility: The caliper can measure inside, outside, depth, and step sizes, so you don’t have to use several different measuring tools.

• Gauges Made of Hardened Tempered Steel: The feeler gauges are made of hardened tempered steel and are oiled to keep them from rusting or flaking.
• Auto Shut-Off: The caliper has a feature that turns it off automatically when it’s not being used. This saves battery life.
• Locking Screw: It has a locking screw that keeps measures steady after they are written down, so they don’t move around while it’s being used.
• Battery: The caliper comes with an LR44 battery that can power it right out of the box, so it’s ready to use.
• small Screwdriver: A small screwdriver is included to make changing the batteries easy.
• Case for Storage: The caliper and feeler gauges come with a strong plastic case that can be used to store them safely and move them around.
• Multiple Uses: The caliper’s shape lets you measure both outside and inside diameters, as well as depths and steps.
• Easy Calibration: The caliper can be easily set to zero at any time, so you can be sure that the readings are always correct.

SETUP GUIDE

• Installing the battery: Open the section for the battery and put the LR44 battery in, making sure the polarity is right.
• Starting up: When the jaws are opened, the caliper turns on by itself. Check the battery or button link if the screen won’t turn on.
• Unit Selection: To easily change units, press the “unit” button to switch between inches, millimeters, and fractions.
• Zero Setting: Press the “zero” button to clear the screen and start a new reading, especially after turning the device on.
• Getting the Outside Diameter: To get the outside diameter of something, use the two long teeth.
• How to Measure the Inside Diameter: To measure the inside diameter of pipes or holes, use the two tiny jaws.
• Measurement of Depth: To find out how deep something is, extend the probe at the bottom of the caliper.
• Measure Steps: The step tool lets you find out how high steps or other things are that don’t have a flat surface.
• Loosening the Locking Screw: To keep the jaws from moving, loosen the locking screw as you measure.
• To Change to Fractional Measurement: Press the unit button to switch to fraction mode if you need to measure in fractions.
• Case Storage: When you’re done using the caliper and feeler gauges, put them in the case that came with them to keep them safe and avoid damage.
• Turning Off: The caliper turns off by itself after 5 minutes of not being used. You can also close the teeth to turn it off by hand.
• Change the Battery: If the battery dies, open the battery compartment with the small screwdriver and put in a new LR44 battery.
• When measuring more than one point: Make sure to return the caliper to zero so that the readings are all the same.
• Checking the Calibration: To get exact results, make sure the caliper is set to zero before each use. If you need to, recalibrate.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

• Remember to keep the caliper clean and dry: so that the electronics don’t get damaged and the measurements are correct.
• Clean it often: After each use, wipe the caliper clean with a soft, dry cloth to get rid of any dust, dirt, or oil.
• Store in Case: To keep the caliper and feeler gauges safe from dust and water, always keep them in the plastic case that comes with them.
• Avoid Water: To keep the caliper from rusting, never put it in water or use it when it’s very wet.
• Take Out the Battery When Not in Use: If you’re going to store the caliper for a long time, take out the battery to keep it from corroding.
• Do Not Drop: Be careful when using the caliper and don’t drop it to keep it accurate and in good working order.
• Calibrate Before Use: To avoid mistakes, make sure the caliper is properly set before each measurement.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: To clean the caliper, don’t use harsh chemicals like cleaners or abrasives, as they can damage the finish or surface.
• Check for Wear: Look for signs of damage or wear on the moving parts and jaws on a regular basis that could affect how well they work.
• Keep Jaws Clean: To make sure the measure jaws work smoothly, make sure they are clean and free of dust, dirt, and grease.
• Tighten the Locking Screw: Always use the locking screw to keep measurements from moving and to make sure they are accurate.
• Avoid Long-Term sunshine: To protect the display and materials, store the caliper in a cool, dry place and keep it out of direct sunshine.
• When to Change the Battery: You should change the battery as soon as the screen starts to get dim or if the numbers aren’t being accurate.
• Do Not Force Measurements: If the caliper won’t move, do not force the jaws or probe to move. Doing so could damage the tool.
• Periodic Checks: Make sure the caliper is working right by measuring known items, like a calibration block, on a regular basis to make sure it is accurate.
