- Insure the sensor is properly oriented (see Diagram 1)
- Remove the batteries, wait 30 seconds and replace them.
|
|
| Flashing digits, dim, or no display |
- Install new batteries.
- Clean batteries and battery contacts

| Loses calibration |
- Make sure that your machine is properly grounded.
- Route the cable away from electric motors or other electrical controls.
- Check for dirt on the scale or inside the sensor. Remove and clean if needed.
- Check for static discharges from a nearby dust collector or other source
Note: If a static discharge from your finger zaps the readout or a nearby dust collector happens to zap your machine it can cause this error. Make sure the dust collector is properly grounded and the dust port on your saw is grounded to the ground wire inside the dust collector hose.

Accuracy Issues |
|
| Small accuracy errors of 1/16" or less |
- Check for loose or flexing brackets.
- Make sure that the scale is perpendicular to the top plate in all planes.
|
| |
| Large accuracy errors of .200" or more |
- An error of exactly .200" is a very common error number with these devices or even a multiple of it like .400, .600, 1.200 etc. Usually this only happens when the readout is either moved very quickly (more than 3 feet per second). Follow the same steps outlined in the "Loses calibration" section above.
