Step Action
5. Install the PurePrecision Tape Scale along the remaining length of the mounting surface:
1. With one hand pull the adhesive backing progressively away from the scale while
the other hand slides evenly along the scale.
2. During the sliding motion, press the remaining tape on to the mounting surface
and pull the adhesive backing out of the way.
TIP:
Maintain a gap of approximately 25 – 35mm (1 – 1½ inches) between the two
hands as you progress along the length of the tape scale.
Note: Be sure to keep the blue top protective film in place. Make sure that the tape
scale is tight against the
“D” reference edge.
Once the tape has been installed, discard the adhesive backing. Pull adhesive backing out of
the way during sliding. No
obstruction between tape
scale and mounting surface.
