Operation
Press the Q key to turn 
on the scale.
Once the scale has been 
turned on, it will run an 
automatic self-test. This 
ends when the display 
shows 0.0 g.
If a different value is 
displayed: Tare the 
scale using the U 
key (Zero/Tare).
Weighing
Place an empty paint can on the load plate.
Press the U key (Zero/Tare) (3). 
The display shows “0.0 g.” Pour the first component of your formula into the can 
and read off the weight when the stability symbol (in this example) “g" is displayed.
Add the other components up to the desired weight (formula).
Remove the filled paint can from the load plate.
Never use a hammer to close a paint can while is it still on the load plate, as this 
will damage the weighing system. 
The weighing system will get damaged!
