Check all new and in use micrometers for correct zero setting prior to use
Clean micrometer spindle and measuring anvils with soft cloth or paper to remove any oil or particles which may
affect the measurements
Ensure that the micrometer is thermally stabilised with the temperature where it is to be used
Ensure that the spindle lock is off
Advance the spindle towards the fixed anvil. Use the ratchet stop (if fitted) to finally close the 2 anvils together.
Rotate the ratchet stop 1 ½ to 2 revolutions to exert a constant measuring force
In the closed position the zero position on the thimble should coincide with the horizontal line on the sleeve
If the two lines do not coincide, small adjustments can be made by using the “C” spanner provided
Insert the “C” spanner into the hole at the back of the sleeve and gently turn the sleeve in the direction required to
achieve line up
The micrometer is now set and ready for use
Clean micrometers and check zero position regularly during use to ensure their continued accuracy
After use always clean and replace the micrometer in its box
