USE SCOPE
The hanging scale is a measuring instrument that is used
exclusively to weigh loads.
It must be used correctly, with care, gently and without
wrenching; when not in use, it must be stored in a
covered and dry place. • avoid rough impacts on the floor or against
structures
Damage to the hanging scale, for improper use or

purposes not allowed, can create situations of dynamometer; once weighting is done, the load must
