• Mount the scale in such a position that the slider center
moves within these measuring length marks.

3-1-3. Protection of the head cable

The head cable and scale come as a single integrated unit.
Take care not to pull the head cable forcefully or bend it
repeatedly or the cable may break.

3-1-4. Mounting a protective cover

If the scale is mounted in a location where it may be
exposed directly to chips or cutting oil, it is recommended
that a protective cover such as the one shown in Fig. 3-4 be
installed so that the scale is not exposed to the outside as
far as possible. This will help to maintain the scale's
performance.
