AMW-BENCH

 

Thank you for purchasing the American Weigh 

AMW-BENCH digital bench scale. Please read all operating 

instructions carefully before use. Scales are precision 

measuring devices and should always be handled with 

proper care. To ensure years of reliable service, keep these 

simple tips in mind:

• 

Do not exceed the scale’s maximum capacity. 

Overloading your scale can permanently damage it!

• 

Avoid exposure to extreme heat or cold. Scales 

perform best at normal room temperature. If 

temperatures have changed dramatically, calibration 

and adjustment may be necessary.

• 

Allow your scale to warm up for 30-60 seconds before 

performing calibration and adjustment(if available).

• 

Store your scale in a clean, dry location. Dust, dirt, 

and moisture can accumulate on the weighing 

sensors and electronics causing inaccuracy or 

malfunction.

• 

Avoid using your scale in close proximity to strong 

radio wave emitting devices such as computers, cash 

registers, and cordless phones.

• 

Always weigh on a flat and level surface, free from 

vibrations and drafts. The corner of a room is usually 

the most stable.

• 

Gently apply all items to be weighed. Do not drop 

items onto the weighing platform.

• 

Avoid dropping your scale. The warranty does not 

cover damage due to rough treatment or overload.

• 

Check the batteries first if you are having any trouble 

with your scale. This simple step can remedy most 

scale issues.

• 

Do not disassemble your scale. This product contains 

no user serviceable parts.
