Lightly tighten the screws. Use a Dial Test Indicator (DTI) to check the radial displacement at the screw locations. NOTE: Disregard the radial displacement between the screw locations. Use a DTI with low exertion force to avoid scratching the scale surface. A DTI with a ruby ball stylus is recommended as a further precaution against scratches. Original instructions www.renishaw.com...

• Adjust the screws to reduce the range of radial displacement. When adjusting, identify the screw location with the lowest radial displacement and tighten that screw, aiming for the average of the highest and lowest indicator readings. • Repeat this process until the DTI readings are within ±5 µm at the screw locations. NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen screws whilst tightening other screws.
