Thank you for purchasing the Niigata Seiki Dial Gauge.
Used with a Magnetic Base or Indicator Stand, this gauge will show the difference in height or
position relative to a zero point set at a reference position.
For safe and proper use of this product, please
read this instruction manual before use and follow
the procedures described. Please keep manual
where it is accessible to user for future reference.
Keep this manual with the instrument if transferred
or leased to a third party.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PREPARATION - Mounting
WARNING Indicates risk of personal injury or property damage if not followed.
Please Observe
Always follow the procedures specified below in order to prevent harm to yourself or others, and to
prevent damage to property.
Dial gauge must be securely mounted such as on a comparator stand or magnetic base.
Please follow these guidelines.
Content marked as follows indicates risk of injury or damage if not followed
CAUTION
Denotes a prohibition – You MUST NOT do Denotes a requirement – You MUST do
These symbols mark content that must be observed.
Read the manual and follow all instructions.
Use of product other than as described in
the manual may cause accident.
Use only as indicator Gauge.
Use for any purpose other than measuring
may damage or wear the instrument.
Improper use may also cause accident.
Use in an environment which meets the
following conditions:
Temperature within range of 0~40 C
humidity 30~70% (non-condensing.)
Location with minimal dust, oil, oil mist,
and protected from direct sunlight.
Location protected from use by
children and unauthorized people.
Use in location contrary to the above may
cause poor accuracy, damage to the
product, or may result in accident or injury.
Handle With Care.
Do not drop or subject to shock, do not
place under heavy objects. Damage may
cause failure or poor accuracy.
Make sure Gauge holder is rigid.
Holder must be sufficiently secure to prevent
deflection from the weight of the Gauge.
Holder must be rigid enough to hold Gauge and
not to lift from measurement force.
Holder support arm should be as short as possible
to prevent deflection.
Deflection or lifting will cause measurement error
such as origin position error and inaccuracies in
measured reading.
Dial Gauge must only be attached by Stem or Rear Lug.
Mounting of gauge by other than Stem or Lug will
cause inaccuracy and product damage.
During installation, do not over-tighten the Stem.
Excessive force on the Stem may cause Spindle to bind.
Do not disassemble or modify.
It may damage Gauge and cause poor
accuracy.
If Bezel Clamp Screw is removed, internal
components may come loose and become
misaligned causing product failure.
Do not shock Spindle.
Rapid motion, or lateral force may damage
Gauge and cause poor accuracy.

HOW TO USE - Preparation
Confirm that the Contact Point and Rear Plate are tightly fastened.
If loose, tighten Contact Point and Rear Plate Screws.
Attach to the Gauge Holder using the Stem or Rear Lug.
Mounting Gauge by other than Stem or Lug will cause inaccuracy and product damage.
Confirm that Pointer and Revolution Counter movement is smooth.
Using fingertip, gently press on Contact Point to move the Spindle up and down. Motion of
Pointers should be smooth. If it is not smooth make sure Stem is not clamped too tight, and adjust.
Also make sure Pointer is stable at set position.
Make sure Spindle axis is perpendicular
to measured surface.
If Spindle (Contact Point) is not at a right
angle to surface, Gauge will not operate
properly and measurement will be inaccurate.
Always keep the Spindle axis perpendicular.
When used to check parallelism of Milling
Machine vise, use a Magnetic Base to
mount the Gauge perpendicular to surface,
and move it out of the way during operation
to prevent interference.
TROUBLESHOOTING
SPECIFICATIONS
Origin position shifts during measurement.
Temperature changes during measurement can cause repeatability error. Please try the following
solutions:
Use in location with constant temperature.
When taking measurements, periodically adjust zero point using a Master reference to correct
for temperature induced drift.
Measurement is not stable, or measurement accuracy is poor.
Contact Point may be worn.
Worn Contact Point will affect accuracy. Periodically check for wear, and replace if wear is
affecting measurement accuracy.
Remove any dust or dirt after use. Do not lubricate.
Wipe any contamination from Spindle sliding surface using a dry cloth, or cloth moistened
with alcohol.
To clean other surfaces, wipe with a soft dry cloth, or a cloth moistened with a mild cleaner.
Check for wear of Contact Point.
Measurement accuracy will be affected by worn Contact Point. Regularly check for wear
and replace Contact Point if worn.
Store in provided case in a cool, dark, and dry location.
During storage, make sure there is no force on the Spindle (such as pushed in, or lateral force.)
Keep away from moisture and direct sunlight, and secure from unauthorized personnel.
HOW TO USE - Comparison Measurements
Set Up Reference Part.
Carefully lift Spindle with fingertip, and, taking
care not to hit Spindle from the side, insert the
Reference Part or Master under Contact Point.
Set the Origin.
Adjust the gauge mount or rotate the Bezel to
set the Gauge to "0".
Remove Reference, and begin
measurements.
Remove Reference or Master, careful not to
shock Spindle. Insert part to be measured and
read the measurement off the Scale.
Setting the Limit Markers
Limit Markers can be moved to show
acceptance range for measurements.
HOW TO USE - Parallelism, Flatness, Runout, etc.
Position Contact Point on surface.
Carefully lifting Spindle with fingertip, and taking care not to hit Spindle from the side, position the
surface to be measured under the Contact Point.
Set the Origin.
Adjust the gauge mount, or rotate the Bezel to set the Gauge to "0".
Read the scale as the measured part is moved.
Slowly move the part while monitoring the Pointer and reading the measurement.

AFTER USE CARE, STORAGE
To maintain measurement accuracy, periodic
calibration is recommended.
Calibration interval necessary to maintain accuracy will vary
depending on frequency and conditions of use. Please follow
your companies guidelines and calibrate regularly.
Outside Japan,
Please contact distributor or place of purchase to inquire
about calibration services.
