Troubleshooting
Needle does not return to zero smoothly
Gently clean the plunger shaft with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove accumulated dust or residue.
Reading varies when checking the same surface
Verify that your magnetic base is fully tightened and that the indicator mounting lug has no play.
Bezel is difficult to rotate
Ensure the bezel lock screw is fully disengaged before attempting to rotate the dial.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The device features a standard rear mounting lug, making it compatible with most universal magnetic bases and articulating arms available on the market. Always ensure the mounting arm is rigid to avoid false readings caused by vibration.
Compatibility: This is a metric-only tool. It is designed for standard engineering manufacturing environments and should be used with clean, dry materials.
Care Instructions:
- Store the indicator in a padded case when not in use to protect the delicate internal movement.
- Keep the stylus and housing free of metal shavings, coolant, and oil, as debris can cause the mechanism to bind.
- Do not over-extend the plunger beyond the 10mm limit, as this can strain the internal spring mechanism.
