1. Safety instructions
When carefully assembled and properly used,
safety of experimenting with the reversible pen-
dulum can be guaranteed. There is, however, a
possible risk of injury or damage to the pendulum
if care is not taken.
Read this instruction manual all the way
through and observe it in full.
Set up the stand on solid, level ground and
fasten the assembly screws tightly.
Fasten the securing screw for the movable
pendulum bob tightly so that the bob cannot
move unchecked.
Use the adjustment screws in the base plate
of the stand to align the bearing plate in such
a way that the bearing axes of the pendulum
bob can be even.
Always handle the pendulum with both hands
when setting it up or adjusting it.
Carefully suspend the pendulum from the
bearing plate and check that the bearing axes
are in the correct positions.
Do not subject the pendulum to excessive
pushes and do not deflect it by more than 10
cm at the bottom end.
