Contact point replacement procedure
Various optional special contact points and extender rods for the dial indicators are available.
A sharp tipped contact point may cause injury.Be extremely careful in handling when replacing and using it.
When replacing the contact point, use the supplied spanner and do not apply a strong turning or lateral force to
the spindle. Doing so may cause damage or malfunction of the spindle.
Tips
• A new contact point may change the external dimensions and measuring force, and the measuring direction
may be limited.
• Depending on the shape, use of a contact point other than those supplied may cause errors to accumulate.

Set the supplied spanner to the spanner catch at the tip of the spindle (see the gure below) to lock the
