CAUTION! The LCD automatically turns off if it

LCD, turn the thimble.

ZEROING THE MICROMETER

IMPORTANT! When the battery has been 
installed, first press the 

ORIGIN

 button, but 

do not rotate the thimble while the preset 

values are being set. (See Figure 1) Rotating 
the thimble during this time may result in the 
failure of setting the default settings. Reinstall 
the battery if you moved the thimble during 
this time.

•  Before measuring check the origin (zero point)  

according to Figure 3.

•  Remove dust/oil from the measuring faces before 

zeroing the micrometer.

•   It is recommended that the micrometer is held in the 

same position and under the same conditions for 

both zeroing and actual measurement.

Zero the micrometer by following the procedure below: 

(See Figure 3)

1.  Turn the thimble to gently bring the spindle into 

contact with the anvil. Apply the rated measuring 

force using the ratchet stop/friction thimble. 

2.  Press the ORIGIN button.

3.  If 0.000 is displayed and "P" is flashing, press the 

ORIGIN button again. The display value will not 

change while "P" is flashing.

4.  "P" disappears, indicating the micrometer has zeroed.

CAUTION! If the 

ORIGIN

 button is accidentally 

pressed during measurement, press the 

ZERO/ABS

 

button to restore. Zero the micrometer again if 
measurement function is still not restored.
