Plates 1.1 Intended Use The only acceptable use for the MMP is as a length measuring gauge system. Never place any material on the measuring surface except the piece to be measured. Any other use is not intended and is a misuse of the gauging system.
2. Basic safety hints 2.1 Read and follow all hints inside the Instruction Manual Basic requirements for the correct use of the gauging system or the machine are the knowledge of the basic safety hints and the safety precautions. This instruction manual contains the most important safety hints. This instruction manual, especially the safety hints and precautions must be followed by every person working with this gauge or machine.
