The MFD Series Analog Force Gauge with compact size are easy
to operate and convenient to carry. They display the units of lb and
kilogram at the same time. The PEAK/TRACK knob allows the user
to easily switch between peak load testing or continuous load test-
ing. The MFD’s are excellent products which are widely applied in
electric, electric appliance, hardware, automobile parts, lighter and
ignition system, light industry, mechanical, textile and a many more
for testing of compression or tension, insertion force, or destructive
analysis. Please read the manual carefully before using this instru-
ment.
When vertically placed to use, especially when installing attachment,
do not apply load as needle will move from the dead weight result of
the attachment. Re-zero dial so zero [O] is aligned with needle. This
tares the attachment load for proper test results.
Note:
If often exceeding max allowed capacity the internal operation
spring will gradually wear and lead to incorrect test performance.
Please do not overload to maintain life of the machine.
