3. INSTALLATION OF THE HARDNESS TESTER 3.1 The working condition of the hardness tester 3.1.1 Under the room temperature between 10~30°C; 3.1.2 The relative humidity in the test room shall not be over 65%; 3.1.3 In an environment free from vibration and shock; without corrosive in surroundings.
3.6 INSTALLATION OF MEASURING MICROSCOPE 3.6.1 Take out the microscope body of the measuring microscope from the accessory box, install and fix it on the microscope frame on the left side of the main body. Align the two locating pins and tighten them with screws. 3.6.2 Install the micrometer eyepiece.

5.7.4 Illumination Adjustment The most suitable lighting effect is obtained by rotating or moving up and down the lamp barrel. Tighten the three knurled screws after adjustment. The brightness and color of the lighting light can be adjusted by two buttons on the side of the lighting barrel to achieve the most appropriate lighting effect.
7. MAINTENANCE AND PRECAUTIONS • The operator should observe the operation regulations and calibrate the instrument with the standard hardness block before and after the test. If the hardness tester is rarely used, the several tests should be carried out on the standard hardness block to make the hardness tester stable after start the instrument, and then carry out the necessary tests for specimen.
