ZEROING THE INSTRUMENT
Press and hold the ORIGIN button for more than one
second. The origin will be set, indicating "0.000/0.00mm"
or "0.00000/0.0000in" on the display.
TIPS
• Right after the battery is installed, nonsensical
numbers, or an "E" may be displayed in the readout.
This is not a malfunction. Zero the instrument, then
perform measurement.
• A rubber damper has been attached to the spindle
as a shock absorber. The elasticity of the damper
may cause the indicated value to not stabilize at
the bottom of the stroke, but this will not cause any
operational problems.
This thickness gauge is a measuring instrument for
quickly and accurately measuring the thickness or
outside diameter of an object.
1.
To operate this instrument, first hold the frame and push
down the lifting lever by the thumb. (See Figure 1)
The spindle will move up and the contact point will
move away from the anvil, providing a space that
allows an object to be inserted.
Figure 1
2. Next, insert the object in the space, then slowly
release the spindle to see a reading on the
indicator.
IMPORTANT! Damage to the indicator or the
contact point may result if the spindle is moved
too quickly when measuring an object.

SETUP CONTINUED
• Also, the spindle may feel heavy at the bottom of
the stroke when this indicator is first used. This can
be resolved by pushing the spindle up once.
SETTING THE COUNT DIRECTION
The +/– button switches the count direction of display
values with respect to the spindle direction. The "▼" sign
appears in the upper left of the LCD if the indicator is set
so that it counts down when the spindle is retracted.
OPERATION
• The zero position may change due to thermal
expansion and contraction of the spindle, frame,
etc., caused by variations in ambient temperature.
Reduce temperature fluctuation during
measurement to a minimum. Zero the instrument
before using for the first time or when a significant
temperature fluctuation is unavoidable.
• This instrument may not be able to properly hold
large objects in position for measurement.
(See Figure 2)
Figure 2
• This may result in a fluctuation of indicator readings.
If the object is too large, hold it in your hand to
stabilize it.

NOTE: Plastic spacers have been inserted in
the lever slide unit. (See Figure 2) They are
used for assisting the lever operation. Never
remove the spacers.
