Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The micrometer is ready for use upon removal from its case. Ensure the thimble and sleeve are clean before first use.
Compatibility: This micrometer is designed for metric measurements and is compatible with standard workshop environments. It is not designed for use with imperial measurement systems.
Care:
- Always store the micrometer in its protective plastic case when not in use.
- Keep the measuring surfaces (anvils and spindle face) clean and free from debris or oil.
- Avoid dropping or subjecting the micrometer to impacts, as this can affect calibration.
- Periodically check for zero error by closing the jaws completely. Adjustments, if needed, should be performed by a qualified technician or following manufacturer guidelines.
- Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid harsh solvents.
