GENERAL INFORMATION
Caution
• Remember, only charge your Indicator when the battery symbol is shown on the
display, see page 11.
• Avoid extreme temperatures, direct sunlight or below freezing for extended periods.
• Avoid dropping the Indicator. Avoid shocks to the contact point and spindle. Do not
apply any radial force to the spindle.
• If the indicator is stem-mounted, protect the indicator from being struck or bumped
to prevent stem/case mechanical alignment damage.
• Do not over-tighten the mounting mechanism and use clamp mounting rather then
set screws, if possible, to prevent damage to the spindle.
• Frequently clean the spindle using a dry cloth or a chamois to prevent sluggish
or sticky movement. Isopropyl alcohol may be used to remove gummy deposits
on metallic parts. Do not apply any type of lubricant to the spindle and do not use
solvents.
• Avoid any disassembly or modification of the indicator, other than what is outlined
in “Accessories” on page 14.
• Avoid using anything that might damage the buttons when pressing the buttons.
• Use the appropriate gage stand or indicator holder for the job intended.
