Internal measurement
- 01Close the small jaws and insert them into the opening being measured.
- 02Open the jaws until they touch the internal surfaces and read the result on display D.
Depth measurement
- 01Place the end of the beam flat against the surface at the opening. Move the slider until the depth rod touches the bottom.
- 02Read the result on display D.
Finishing the measurement
Move the jaws or depth rod away from the measured surfaces, remove the caliper and switch it off using the A ON/OFF button.

Waste electrical and electronic equipment
- 01The crossed-out bin symbol means that the used device must not be disposed of with other waste.
Under applicable regulations on waste electrical and electronic equipment, products marked with the separate collection symbol must not be disposed of with other municipal waste. Because they contain hazardous substances, electronic products that are not sorted separately may pose a risk to the environment and human health. Proper separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment prevents adverse effects on the environment.
By taking used equipment to a collection point, the user contributes to its reuse, recycling and recovery.
Recycling - one method of protecting the environment. The process of recovering substances from waste that can be reused as raw materials.
Waste recovery - the use of waste that has lost its useful value, such as plastics, paper and cardboard, as secondary raw materials (also commonly understood to include its destruction).
