Installing the batteries NOTES: See Section 5, "Maintenance" for a list of suitable battery types. Ensure the product is clean and dry before inserting batteries. Do not allow coolant or debris to enter the battery compartment. When inserting batteries, check that the battery polarity is correct. -
Page 24: Mounting The Probe On A Shank (Or Machine Table)
Mounting the probe on a shank (or machine table) NOTE: In instances where the RMP60 is to be used with a shank switch, it will be necessary to remove the plug from the rear of the probe using pliers. This should then be substituted with the bobbin (A-4038-0303). -
Page 25: Stylus On-Centre Adjustment
Stylus on-centre adjustment NOTES: During adjustment, care must be taken not to rotate the probe relative to the shank, as damage (x 4) to the bobbin (A-4038-0303) can occur where fitted. 1 Nm If a probe and shank assembly is dropped, it must (0.74 lbf.ft) be rechecked for correct on-centre adjustment. -
