CAUTION
・ This product is to be used as Hardness Measuring Instrument for
plastic and rubber. Please use only as directed.
・ Only use within applicable measuring range for each model. Use
beyond specified range may cause errors or damage to instrument.
・ Never press indenter against hard surface, such as glass or metal,
with the exception of testing using the Wear Test Block.
・ Do not apply force greater than 2-3 times force specified by the
relevant standards ( JIS, ASTM, ISO, DIN, etc. ) Excessive force
may affect accuracy and cause damage to the instrument.
・ Do not apply lateral pressure or move the indenter when in contact
with test sample.
・ Instrument is designed for using in vertical orientation with
downward pressure. Use in horizontal or upward direction will result
in inaccurate measurements.
・ Please Note – Measurements taken by this instrument will vary
from those taken using a different measurement standard, such as
JIS K6301, etc.
・ This is a precision measurement instrument, Do not drop or apply
excessive force as it may result in inaccuracy.
・ Do not use in wet or oily locations.
・ Do not disassemble or modify.
・ Do not use organic solvents ( thinner, benzine, etc. ) to clean.
