Continuous Display: The Continuous Display Mode is normally used for Scribing. It can also be used to measure
features such as the centers of holes in sheet metal using a Conical Probe. Press the CONT Key to the right of the
Display to enter this mode.
The Display provides a reading of the current probe position. Lock the Probe Locking Knob and install the Scriber,
being careful to make the bottom of the scriber parallel to the Surface Plate. (See Figure 24) Using the Coarse
Adjustment Knob bring the Scriber lightly in contact with the Surface Plate. Press the F1 key to set the Active
Datum to 0 on the Surface Plate (or any other reference surface). (See Figure 25)
Move the Scriber close to the desired height using the Coarse Adjustment Knob. Pull out the Knob to engage the
Fine Adjustment Mechanism and adjust the scriber to the desired height. (See Figure 26) Tighten the Belt Locking
Knob and Scribe the Surface. (See Figure 27)
Note: If the tool beeps while scribing then make sure you have locked the Probe Locking Knob.
