4.6.2 Placement
Holding the tester between your thumb and index finger, hold the tester
against the Work piece. Please note: the impact device must be firmly
against the surface and the impact direction should be vertical to the
testing surface or you may get unsatisfied value.
4.6.3 Releasing
Press the release button lightly on top of the tester and take
measurement. The measuring value will be displayed on LCD. To be sure
that while releasing the triggering button, the work piece, the impact
device and the impact body are all stable and the starting force coincides
with the axis of the impact device.

If the test results are outside the ranges listed in Table 1.1, the screen
will display E.
Note: Under no circumstances should you press the release button
if the tester was not against the work piece. Otherwise the support
ring would be loose easily.
Each measure area of the sample usually needs 3 to 5 times of testing
operation. The result data dispersion should not more than mean
value±15HL.
The distance between any two impact points or from the center of any
impact point to the edge of testing sample should conform to the
regulation of Table 4.1
If want accurate conversion from the Leeb hardness value to other
hardness value, Just operate as per procedures listed in part 4.4
