2.   

Remove/peel the bottom adhesive backing: 

1.  Use a sharp tool or fingernails to start peeling the adhesive backing from the left 

end of the tape scale. 

2.  Remove and peel back approximately 25 mm (1 inch) of the bottom adhesive 

backing, taking care not to touch the adhesive or allow any particulate 
contamination. 

 

 

 
 
 

Note

: 

Be careful not to expose the adhesive backing more than 50 mm (2 inches). Do 
not peel the blue protective film off at this time. 

3.   

Flip the tape over such that exposed adhesive surface of the tape scale (surface from 
which the adhesive backing was removed) faces the desired location where the tape 
needs to be attached. 

4.   

Place the tape scale on the mounting surface reference edge: 
Place the 25 mm (1 inch) exposed adhesive left end of the tape scale against the mounting 
surface
