REGULATION AND USE
ATTENTION: to ensure that the Z axis works properly the calibration plate must be kept
constantly clean with the brush provided in order to avoid pollution by swarf.
A false contact due to swarf will produce a Z cut (depth) of the wrong
measurement.
ATTENTION!
ELIMINATE SWARF FROM
THE CALIBRATION PLATE AND
CLAMP.
ATTENTION: do not apply too much pressure to secure the key in the clamp. One turn of the
knob of approx. 45° (clockwise) at the beginning is enough to secure it (Fig. 11).
We also recommend holding the key down well in the clamp during the closing
operation, in order to avoid bending, bad alignment or parts that are not properly
seated on the clamp surface (Fig. 12).
