explosive fumes. A fire or an explosion can result.
6) Place the item to be weighed in the center of the platform. Items placed on the edge of the platform may fall off and
cause injury.
7) When weighing a heavy, large or unbalanced item, make sure the item is stable on the platform, otherwise, an accident
may occur.
8) When carrying or moving the scale, be sure to hold it by the bottom of the base with both hands. If you hold it by the
platform, the platform or the platform support may become detached causing the scale to fall. This will damage the scale.
The platform is designed for easy removal and clean-up.

10) The PPC-200(W) uses a liquid crystal display. If the LCD breaks and the liquid leaks from the LCD, do not touch it with
your fingers. The liquid is toxic if ingested. Be especially careful around small children.
To prevent damage to the scale
1) Do not push the indicator or keys with sharp objects. They may break or puncture the switch membrane panel.
2) Use the specified power supply and choose a suitable environment. If you do not, the weight readings may be inaccurate
and the scale may be damaged.
3) The scale is a sensitive weighing instrument, avoid physical shocks. If you drop something on the scale, step on the plat-
form, or drop it, the scale may be damaged and lose accuracy.
4) If the scale becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, apply a little neutral detergent and then wipe the
scale with a dry cloth. Do not use thinner, benzene, hot water, or chemical agents, all of which can cause deformation, dis-
coloration, or deterioration of the scale.
5) Never remove the case. The fine adjustment section may be damaged and you may be injured by sharp edges on the
internal parts.

ing to the polarity markings in the case (+, -). If the scale will not be used for a long period, remove the batteries.

2) Do not place the scale in an area exposed to direct sunlight or to wind currents from an air conditioner, otherwise, the
weights will not be accurate.
3) Do not place the scale near machines that create vibrations or electromagnetic disturbance, such as microwave ovens,
portable phones, or large motors. This will affect the accuracy.
4) The operating temperature range is from –5°C to +35°C (23°F to 95°F). Do not subject the scale to sudden temperature
changes; allow the scale to adjust to the new temperature before use.
