PREPARATION FOR USE

Before using the caliper, follow the steps below:

Do not apply excessive force to Vernier Slide. Pushing against slide, or attempting to move without pressing the Thumb Lock may 

cause damage or inaccuracy.

Wipe off any corrosion, dirt or oil from measuring surfaces and slide.contamination of surfaces  may cause measurement error. 

Allow the caliper and object to be measured time to reach the same temperature.A temperature difference between the object to be 

measured and the caliper may cause measurement error. Allow enough time for the temperatures to equilibrate. 

Performing an accuracy check.

Jaw Alignment

In closed position, make sure the measuring surfaces on the outside   

jaws align properly and there is no gap (no light should leak past.)

Confirm 

0

 points on scale (see diagram at right)

With jaws closed as in step 

 above, make sure the reading is zero and 

the vernier scale graduations align at the 

0

 and 

39

 positions as shown.

Depth Confirmation

Position caliper on a flat surface for depth measurement. Reading should 

be 

0

 as in step 

 above, with the vernier graduations aligned at the 

0

 

and 

39

 positions.

READING THE SCALE

The measured value is determined by reading the main scale, 
and then adding the Vernier Scale reading as determined by 
the position where the vernier and main scale graduations align.

PREVENTING ERRORS

In order to prevent measurement error, please note the following.

SPECIFICATIONS

As required, wipe slide and measuring surfaces with a dry 

cloth treated with anti-corrosive oil. When not in use, apply 
anti-corrosive treatment or keep in anti-corrosive bag.

When not in use, keep jaws slightly open to prevent thermal 

expansion from creating excessive forces on jaws and 
affecting accuracy.

Store in supplied case when not in use in a cool, dry location.

Proper alignment

Flat surfaces

When measuring features 
with flat surfaces, make sure 
the measuring surface of the 
jaws are parallel to the 
surfaces to be measured.

Cylindrical surfaces

When measuring cylindrical 
features, make sure the 
caliper jaws are perpendicular 
to the cylinder axis as shown.

Scale should be read from 
directly above the calipers. 
Due to step in height of vernier 
scale relative to main scale, if 
viewing direction is not directly 
above the reading may have 
parallax error.
