7.4 Cleaning (after each use)

The devices do not require any particular care other than periodic cleaning of the impact body and the

guide tube after performing approximately 1000 to 2000 tests.

To clean the guide tube of the impact device,

Unscrew the support ring.

Remove the impact body from the guide tube.

Clean all dirt and metallic powder from the impact body.

Clean the guide tube with the cleaning brush (accessory).

If necessary, clean the gaps with a pneumatic pump (not compressed air!).

Do not apply oil, grease or other lubricants to any parts for the impact device.

After cleaning, test the calibration of the impact device and recalibrate it if necessary.

To clean the main unit,

Clean the display with a clean, dry cloth after each use.

Clean any dirty input socket with a clean, dry brush.

Never immerse the unit in water or clean it under running water.

Do not use abrasives, solvents or lubricants to clean the unit.

7.5 Warranty

When used in accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions and under normal operating

conditions, the instrument is conditionally guaranteed to be free from defects in material and

workmanship for a period of two years from date of shipment.

This warranty shall not apply to equipment subjected to misuse or abuse, improper installation, alteration,

neglect, or accident. Excluded from this warranty are expendable items such as the tip ball of the impact

body inside the impact device, interconnecting cables, and batteries.

This warranty is limited to the original purchaser and is not transferable. No other warranty, expressed or

implied, is made.

7.6 Tips on safety

The design of the instrument meets safety standard. During the operation, it shall meet the specified

external ambient condition, and the operator shall be furnished with concerned technology background,

so as to guarantee safe operation.

Note:

1. This hardness tester and its components are not to be used by children or any under the

influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.

2. The instrument is limited to be used in lab and industrial environment.
