Prior to using corrosive and abrasive materials for measurement purposes, the operator must
check the level of resistance of all parts coming into contact with the materials to be measured.

this instruction, using underqualified personnel, or making unauthorized alterations releases the
manufacturer from liability for any resulting damage. This renders the manufacturer's warranty
null and void.
