3-1-1. Checking the Installation Direction

Check that the scale is installed in the positional relationship shown in Fig. 3-1.
Except when installed on a vertical axis, only the orientation in Fig. 3-1 should be used.
If installing on a machine tool or other equipment where powder and dust occur, install using the A orientation
since this allows usage of cutting fluid and prevents the intrusion of cutting dust.
Install using the B orientation only in other situations when virtually no foreign objects can enter the scale.
