4. Operation method
4.1. Preparation before use
4.1.1. Instrument preparation
For newly purchased instruments, please refer to the contents of the packing list to check the instruments and accessories. If not complete, please contact the manufacturer in time ; if the instrument is damaged, please do not use it, and contact the manufacturer as soon as possible.
4.1.2. Requirements for the test piece
a) The surface temperature of the test piece cannot be overheated <120°C;
b) The requirements for the surface roughness of the test piece are as follows:

4.1.3. Requirements of the Hardness Tester for the weight of the tested piece
a) Test pieces weighing more than 5kg do not need to be supported;
b) Specimens with overhanging parts and thin-walled specimens with a weight of 2-5kg are tested
Object support should be applied during the test to avoid the deformation, bending and movement of the specimen caused by the impact force;
c) If the weight is less than 2kg, it should be tightly coupled with the supporting body weighing more than 5kg. It is required that surface of the test piece and the coupling body should be flat and smooth. Needs to be perpendicular to the coupling plane.
4.1.4. Requirements for surface hardening layer of test pieces
If the hardened layer on the surface of the specimen is too thin, the impact force will penetrate the hardened layer and cause the Leeb shift value to be incorrect. The depth of surface hardening layer shall meet:

4.1.5. The surface of the tested piece should not be magnetic.
4.1.6. A small support ring should be used for the test of the specimen whose curved surface radius is less than 30mm.
4.2. Sensor operation
4.2.1. Loading
Push the load sleeve down all the way, grab the impact body, and return the load sleeve.
Note: Do not spring back the loading sleeve freely to avoid damage to the sensor.
4.2.2. Positioning
Press the sensor against the workpiece surface in the selected measuring direction.
4.2.3. Release
Press the release button to release the impact body for measurement.
