4 TESTING A SAMPLE - MOTORISED CLEMEN UNIT

Before the sample can be tested, adjust the height of the tool:

1. Connect the unit to the mains supply and press the Power On/Off button.

2. Place the sample onto the sample platform and fix in position by rotating the

clamp handle.

3. Lift and hold the load beam in its raised position.

4. Press the Start button (Figure 2). Wait until the tool is halfway through its

travel and then press the Power On/Off button to stop the tool in this

position.

5. Insert the metal shim between the nylon wheel (1) and the load beam and

then lower the load beam.

6. Adjust the height of the tool (2) until it is touching the surface of the sample

and then tighten the knurled wheel (3) to lock the tool in position.

7. Raise the load beam, remove the metal shim and while supporting the

beam, press the Power On/Off button and then the Start button to return the

tool to the starting position.

Supporting the load beam while the tool is moving to its starting position

prevents damage to the sample surface, the tool or the sample platform.
