This balance uses a strong magnet as part of the balance assembly, so please use caution when weighing magnetic materials such as iron. If there is a problem, use the underhook on the bottom of the balance to suspend the material away from the influence of the magnet.
Eliminate the temperature difference between a sample and the environment. When a sample is warmer (cooler) than the ambient temperature, the sample will be lighter (heavier) than the true weight. This error is due to a rising (falling) draft around the sample.
Make each weighing gently and quickly to avoid errors caused by the evaporation of moisture from the sample or the absorption of moisture by the sample.
Do not drop things upon the weighing pan, or place a sample on the pan that is beyond the balance weighing capacity. Place a sample in the center of the weighing pan.
Do not use a sharp instrument such as a pencil to press the keys. Use your finger only.

Calibrate the balance periodically so as to eliminate possible errors.
Take into consideration the affect of air buoyancy on a sample when more accuracy is required.
Keep the balance interior free of dust and foreign materials.

3-3 After Use
Avoid mechanical shock to the balance.
Do not disassemble the balance. Contact the local A&D dealer if the balance needs service or repair.
Do not use organic solvents to clean the balance. Clean the balance with a lint free cloth that is moistened with warm water and a mild detergent.
The edge of the weighing pan is sharp. Use much care when cleaning the pan.
Avoid dust and water so that the balance weighs correctly. Protect the internal parts from liquid spills and excessive dust.
