CAUTION

If a loud noise is created from the unit

during operation, check the mounting of
the gauge or level of the stand. If noise

persists, contact the factory.

Hold power plug while removing the
power cord. Do not pull or put tension on

the cord. Doing so could result in cord

damage and electric shock.

Use only matching electrical sockets. Do
not alter the power connector in order
to 󳞛t an unmatched socket. Shock or 󳞛re

could result.

Do not scratch, damage, cut, over-turn,
pull, twist, or bundle the power supply
cord. The electric power cord may be
broken and may cause electric shock, 󳞛re

or accident.

Con󳞛rm that the power supply is the same
voltage rating as the displayed voltage

rating on the unit.

Take care that the Force Gauge Cable is
not caught in the moving parts. This can
be prevented by properly securing the

cable so that it cannot come into contact

with the moving parts.

④ Where a 󳞛re or explosion may exist or occur.

Mount the Force Gauge to the Test Stand
