  • Page 10: Usage Precautions

    1.3 Usage precautions Do not use the scale as a dynamic weighing instrument. Even if small quantities of weighed material are added or removed from the weighing pan of the instrument, the reading should be taken only after stabilisation of the measurement results. Do not place any magnetic materials on the weighing pan, as this can cause damage to the measuring system of the instrument.
