2. PrecautionsforUse
Parallax
Because of the structure of the product, the reference line surface on
the sleeve and the graduation line surface on the thimble are not on
the same plane, so the point where the two lines meet will deviate
depending on the position of your eyes. When reading measured
values, do so with reference to the gure at right, perpendicular from
the point where the reference line on the sleeve is aligned with the
graduation line on the thimble.
If looking from a different direction (as in the gure at right), there will
be a parallax of approximately 2 μm.
MeasuringForce
Use the ratchet stop to ensure consistent measuring force.
The appropriate measuring force is about three to ve turns of the ratchet
stop with ngers after the measuring surface lightly contacts the
workpiece. Note that excessive measuring force may cause measurement
error.
PrecautionsandCleaningafterUse
After use, check each part for damage and clean the entire spindle, rod, and base with a soft lint-free cloth.
When oil, cutting uid, or liquid itself is adhered, or when very dirty, clean with a soft lint-free cloth impregnated with a
volatile solvent (cleaning alcohol, etc.).
After use, apply anti-rust treatment to the spindle, rod, and base using Micrometer Oil (Part No. 207000).
If using in places exposed to water-based cutting uid, always apply anti-rust treatment after cleaning.
If Micrometer Oil is unavailable and the only option is a commercial product, we recommend low-viscosity anti-rust oil
of ISO VG10 or so.
3. ReferencePointSetting
Important
Be sure to follow the procedure below to conrm and adjust the reference point prior to measuring.
Reference point setting for this product should be performed on a at surface such as a precision surface plate.
When setting the reference point for this product, make sure to use a calibrated gage (gauge block, etc.).
Remove any dirt or oil from the measuring surfaces of the gages and product prior to setting the reference point.
Use the same orientation and conditions when measuring and setting the reference point.
When setting the reference point, press the base rmly against the reference surface as shown in the gure below.
ReferencePointConrmation
1
Remove any dirt or dust from the measuring surfaces of the gages and the product.
2
Rotate the thimble and bring the measuring surface gently into contact with the precision surface plate.
3
Apply the prescribed measuring force by turning the ratchet stop three to ve times.
4
Read the scale, and if the reading does not match the zero point or the gage dimensions, adjust the reference point
in accordance with the following procedure.
ReferencePointAdjustment
128Series
If the reference point difference is ±0.01 mm or less
1
With the reference point conrmed, x the spindle with the spindle clamp.
2
Insert the supplied key wrench into the hole on the rear of the reference line on the sleeve, and then rotate the
sleeve until the reference line is aligned with the zero graduation line on the thimble.
If the reference point difference is approximately ±0.01 mm or more
1
With the reference point conrmed, x the spindle with the spindle
clamp.
2
While holding the thimble in place with your ngers to prevent it
from turning, insert the supplied key wrench into the hole on the
side of the ratchet stop and loosen the ratchet stop.
3
Rotate the thimble while pushing it toward the ratchet stop and
align the thimble's gradations with the sleeve's reference line.
4
Tighten the ratchet stop with the key wrench while gently pushing
the thimble in the direction of the sleeve, being careful not to allow
the thimble to rotate.
5
Loosen the spindle clamp.
SafetyPrecautions
To ensure operator safety, use this product according to the directions, functions and specications given in this

Apply anti-rust treatment after use if the product is used in a place where it is directly exposed to
splashes of coolant, etc. Rust may cause malfunction.
Do not apply excessive force or subject to sudden impacts such as dropping.
Remove dust, cutting chips, etc. and apply anti-rust oil after use.
Remove any dirt on the product by wiping gently with a soft non-linty cloth. Do not use organic solvents
such as cleaning agents or thinner.
