2.2 Assembling the Magnetic Base and Dial Indicator

Follow these steps to assemble the magnetic base and attach the dial indicator:

  1. Attach the lower arm to the magnetic base. Ensure the internal bevels align for a secure fit.
  2. Connect the upper arm to the lower arm, again ensuring bevels align.
  3. Insert the bolt through the assembled arms and secure it with the knob. Tighten the knob to lock all joints simultaneously.
  4. Mount the dial indicator into the clamping hole on the upper arm.
  5. Tighten the indicator's clamping screw to secure it in place.

3. Upute za rad

The Clockwise Tools DIMR-0105 Dial Indicator provides precise measurements for various applications.

3.1 Engaging the Magnetic Base

The magnetic base features an ON/OFF switch. To secure the base to a ferrous surface, turn the switch to the 'ON' position. To release or reposition, turn the switch to 'OFF'. The maximum pull force is 176 lbs, which is best achieved on metal surfaces 30mm or thicker. Thinner surfaces may reduce magnetic force.

3.2 Adjusting the Dial Indicator

The dial indicator features a twist-and-lock bezel for easy scale adjustment. This allows you to set the dial to zero at any desired point without needing a separate tightening screw. The indicator also includes an anti-dust cap and a durable carbide tip.

3.3 Mjerenje

Za mjerenje:

  1. Secure the magnetic base to a stable ferrous surface.
  2. Position the dial indicator's tip against the surface or object to be measured.
  3. Adjust the arm and indicator position using the locking knob until the tip makes contact and the dial shows a reading.
  4. Rotate the twist-and-lock bezel to align the '0' mark with the main needle.
  5. Move the object or the indicator to measure variations. The main needle indicates measurements in 0.001" increments, and the smaller needle tracks full revolutions (0-1" range).

4. Održavanje

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your dial indicator and magnetic base, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Čišćenje: After each use, wipe down the dial indicator and magnetic base with a clean, soft cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or internal components.
  • Skladištenje: Store the instrument in its original durable case when not in use. This protects it from dust, moisture, and physical damage. Ensure the magnetic base is in the 'OFF' position during storage to prevent accidental magnetization of other tools.
  • Podmazivanje: The internal mechanisms of the dial indicator are factory-lubricated. Do not attempt to lubricate them yourself unless specifically instructed by a qualified technician.
  • Inspekcija: Regularly inspect the carbide anvil ball for wear or damage. A worn tip can affect measurement accuracy. Check the magnetic base for any signs of damage or reduced magnetic force.
  • Kalibriranje: Although your unit comes with a factory calibration certificate, periodic re-calibration by a certified professional is recommended to maintain optimal accuracy, especially after heavy use or impact.
