AMBIDEXTROUS USE
The M1000 Scale is designed for use by both right and left handed users. The scale
pan consists of two tabs, a main beam with graduation markings on both sides and
a set of reference pointers on each side. Photos 6 & 7 below show the M1000 with a
100 grain load in both a right and left handed orientation.
hOW TO ZERO BALANCE ThE SCALE
(directions below are for right-handed use)
• Place the scale on a flat, level surface
• Set in a location which allows viewing of scale as near to eye level as possible;
this will eliminate any potential parallax error
• Place all three poises at zero
• Place scale pan on pan support
• Scale is balanced when zero line on main beam lines up with center reference
pointer (Photo 8)
• If zero line does not line up with center reference pointer, rotate leveling foot
clockwise to move reference pointer upward, or rotate counter-clockwise to move
reference pointer downward (Photo 9)
• The scale should be zero balanced before use and checked periodically during
use for maximum accuracy and protection against error.
NOTE: DO NOT MOVE SCALE ONCE BALANCED. IF SCALE IS MOVED, FOLLOW
STEPS ABOVE TO RE-ZERO SCALE.
