Check the mounting surface and the datum surface of the scale for dust and dirt. If the surfaces are dirty,
wipe them clean with gauze moistened with alcohol.

When pressing the scale against the reference surface, lightly press two points on the edge of the scale surface opposite
the reference surface with your fingers with a force of 9.8 N = 1 kgf or less as shown in Figure 1 below.
If the middle part of the scale is pressed with a force of 4.9 N = 0.5 kgf or more, as shown in Fig. 2 below or if the scale is
installed with deformation, the specified accuracy cannot be achieved. (This also applies to the following procedures. If it
appears that the scale has been bent by force, loosen the scale clamp and mount it again properly.)
