 - Before operating the unit please carefully read and understand 

the instructions. Contact Hornady Customer Service at 1-800-338-3220 with 
question regarding the use of the Hornady M2 Digital Bench Scale.

IMPORTANT SAFETY FUNCTIONS

WARNING - Before operating the unit, please carefully read and 

understand this document.

•  Internal components are very sensitive. Do not shake, drop, or overload unit.
•  Handle unit with care, treating it as the sensitive instrument it is.

TIPS TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE

•  Fluctuations in temperature, even of a few degrees, can cause scale 

readings to vary. While scale can be used immediately, optimal  
performance will occur after unit has warmed up for 5-15 minutes.

•  Always place the scale on a flat, level, and stable surface when  

in operation.

•  Electrical interference can cause scale readings to vary. Keep other 

electronic devices (power strips, florescent lights, motors, radios,  
phones, etc.) away from scale when in operation.

•  Do not let a fan, air conditioner, heater, or open window blow on scale.
•  Using clear cover over powder pan will improve accuracy and lessen  

effects of outside variables.
