Inspection and Replacement of
Consumable Parts
Parts such as the indenter are consumable parts and need to be replaced. Replace the con-
sumables by following the procedures below.
3.1
Replacing the Indenter
CAUTION
When replacing the indenter during a test, switch the screen of the display unit to the screen for test conditions,
and then replace the indenter. The testing machine may start a test and cause injury if the replacement is per-
formed while the display unit displays the home screen or the details screen for test results.
NOTICE
• Be careful that the indenter does not touch other parts such as the specimen or anvil during replacement.
• Always keep the tip of the indenter clean.
