2. Installing the Battery
• Be sure to use SR44 (silver oxide button battery No. 938882) for the battery.
• Always align the battery compartment cover with the threads and install so that the seal does
not protrude. The product may display an error or malfunction if the battery compartment cover
or seal is not mounted correctly.
• Re-installing the batteries will erase the PRESET value (reference point) setting. Perform
reference point setting again (refer to "5. PRESET Value (Reference Point) Setting").
• Follow local rules and regulations regarding battery disposal.
The battery is not installed into the product at purchase. Install the battery as follows.
Rotate the battery compartment cover counter-clockwise to remove it.

3. Precautions for Use
N
⑧⑨
■ Measurement Orientation
Only a horizontal measurement orientation (horizontal measurement axis for the anvil, spindle, and
thimble) is possible for this product.
In order to perform measurement within the guaranteed accuracy, use a micrometer stand (A) and
keep the tilt from horizontal orientation within ±3 °. Note that the measuring force will change by
±0.3 N at ±30 ° tilt from horizontal orientation, as a guideline.
A
■ Measuring Force
Moving the workpiece horizontally applies force more than the
set measuring force to the spindle. Hold the workpiece so as to
avoid applying any force more than the set measuring force to
the spindle during measurement.
■ Temperature
This product, especially the 0.001 mm resolution model, is
easily inuenced by temperature changes. Abrupt temperature
changes should be avoided and sufcient time should be
allowed to adjust to ambient temperature before measuring.
■ Handling the Stroke End Bush (CLM-QMX only)
The stroke end bush acts as a marker for the measurement range (10 mm or 15 mm). Although it
will not directly affect the measurement results, do not move or remove it, in order to prevent
damage. The home position of the marker (B) is 6 mm or 11 mm from the edge of the spindle.
■ Precautions after Use
• After use, clean the entire product and check that none of the parts are damaged.
If using in places exposed to water-based cutting uid, always apply anti-rust treatment after
cleaning.
• For storage, leave a gap of 0.2 to 2 mm open for the measurement surfaces.
• For long-term storage, apply anti-rust treatment to the spindle using micrometer oil (Part No.
207000).

HOLD
• When setting the measuring force, be sure to retract the spindle to position (A), where the
thimble stops rotating. If the spindle is not sufciently retracted, the proper measuring force
cannot be set.
• Slowly turn the thimble. If the spindle forcibly reaches position (A), where rotation stops, it may
lead to damage.
• After changing the measuring force, be sure to perform reference point setting. Otherwise, this
may cause errors. (Refer to "5. PRESET Value (Reference Point) Setting")
• Set the measuring force within the specications. Measuring force lower than the specication
range is not guaranteed, and spindle action will be negatively affected.
This product is a variable measuring force type micrometer. Measuring force settings can be
changed as follows.
Slowly retract the spindle to the position (A) where the thimble cannot be turned any further.

5. PRESET Value (Reference Point) Setting
• For reference point setting, use a periodically inspected reference gage (gauge block,
micrometer standard bar, etc.).
• Reference point setting and measurement should be made in the same orientation and
conditions and with the same procedure as below.
• When using CLM-DKX, if measuring with only part of the measuring surface, perform reference
point setting under the same conditions as the measurement.
• If the reference point changes due to temperature changes, recongure the PRESET value
(reference point).
Set the reference point according to the following procedure.
Mount the product horizontally to a micrometer stand (refer to "3. Precautions for Use ■ Measurement
