This product is designed for use only in compressed air systems (including vacuum). Do not use if the pressure or temperature is out of the specified
range as it may cause damage or malfunction. (Refer to the specifications) Do not use fluids other than compressed air (including vacuum). We do notguarantee any damage caused by using the product beyond the specified range.
Never disassemble, repair or modify (including additional machining). There is a risk of injury or accident.
Please use only on the upper surface of the surface plate. Do not stick to the side surface or back surface of the surface plate. Never use it in thereverse state of the land.
Supply air from a source different from the air source of your CMM（Coordinate Measuring Machine）.
Do not use the lubricator.
Do not use the vacuum circuit side where pressure of 0.1 MPa or more is constantly applied. Vacuum equipment does not have an explosion-proof
structure, so there is a risk of damage to the main unit.
Please use clean air as the supply air. If impurities such as dust, oil, and water are contained, the filter inside the ejector will be clogged and theadsorption power will decrease. Regularly perform maintenance and inspection of the filter element and plug silencer of the silencer element of theejector. Clogged elements may cause performance degradation or trouble. The built-in ejector and plug silencer are consumables. If there is an abnormal
noise or the suction force is reduced, discontinue use and clean or replace the silencer element. We recommend that you clean and replace the silencer
element frequently at appropriate times.
Please be careful about the decrease of vacuum pressure due to the trouble of the supply air and the supply power supply. There is a risk that thisproduct will move or fall due to a decrease in adsorption power. Please take safety measures.
Do not use in an atmosphere of corrosive gas, flammable gas, explosive gas, chemicals, seawater, water vapor or where it adheres. Also, never let it
inhale.
About compressed air used・・・Compressed air contains a large amount of drain (water, oxidized oil, tar, foreign matter). Drain significantly reduces theperformance of the product, so dehumidify it with an aftercooler or dryer to improve the air quality.
Rust in the piping and inflow of foreign matter may cause product failure, malfunction, and performance deterioration. Insert a more accurate filter of 5μm (micron) or less just before the supply port. In addition, we recommend flushing (air blowing) in the piping before use and at appropriate intervals.
Do not turn your face toward the ejector's air exhaust port. If dust, dirt, moisture, etc. are mixed in the air, there is a risk of dust, moisture, etc. getting
into your eyes. Please wear safety glasses before use. Use a filter, etc. to manage the air used, and pay sufficient attention to the quality of the air. Do
not use it to block the exhaust port of the ejector or increase the exhaust resistance. It may not generate a vacuum or cause a decrease in vacuum
pressure.
About quality control of surface plate・・・Use a surface plate with a higher accuracy of 5 μm (micron) or less in the ground plane. Do not use on asurface plate that has damage such as scratches, distortion, chips, and deterioration.
Before use, be sure to wipe the top surface of the surface plate clean so that there is no dust or dirt, and make sure that the surface plate is clean
before use.
Do not use this product for any purpose other than adsorption for measurement on a surface plate.
The stepped edge between the adsorption surface and the escaped bottom is sharply pointed. Do not touch it with your bare hands. Be careful whenhandling it so as not to hurt your hands or body.
Do not use this product to measure rotating or moving objects. There is a risk of injury.
Do not use in a place with a lot of vibration or shock.

products at the same time may cause injury and it is prohibited.
Be sure to remove the workpiece before moving this product. Never levitate or move the product while the work is placed on it. It can cause injury.
About applicable air tube・・・Depending on the outer diameter accuracy, wall thickness, and hardness of the air tube, it may come off or leak. Please use
the air tube specified by us. Use the following for the air tube outer diameter accuracy. Nylon, soft nylon tube: within φ4 ± 0.1 mm、Polyurethane ｔube:
φ4 + 0.1-0.2mm or less, New urethane tube: within φ4 + 0.1-0.2mm
Before piping, flush the inside of the pipe (air blow) to remove foreign matters and chips inside the pipe.
After inserting and removing the air tube 50 times, cut the tube about 20 mm and insert the undamaged part.
Use the air tube with a minimum bending radius or more and with as much margin as possible. Small bending radii can damage fittings and break or crush
tubes.
During use, the tube may come off from the fitting and the tube may run wild due to deterioration of the air tube or damage to the fitting. Install aprotective cover or fix the air tube so that the air tube does not run wild. Be sure to wear safety glasses when using.
Use an air tube that supplies air with an outer diameter of φ4 mm. Be careful of your surroundings so that you do not catch or pull the air tube. Do notuse if the tube comes into direct contact with other structures as it may wear or break.
Insert the air tube securely to the end of the tube, and pull the tube to make sure that it does not come off before using it. If it is not inserted all the way
in, it may cause the tube to come off or air to leak.
Be sure to cut the tube at a right angle with a special cutter before use.
When inserting the piping and air tube, remove chips and foreign matter inside and outside the air tube before use.

Do not use in corrosive gas, flammable gas, explosive gas, chemicals, seawater, water vapor atmosphere or in a place where it adheres. Also,
never inhale it.
Check each port of the ejector with the indication on the main body and the text before piping. Incorrect piping may cause damage to the mainunit.
The ejector supply pressure is the value when the ejector is in operation. Consider the pressure drop and secure the specified value in the text.
If the specified value is not satisfied, the ejector will make a strange noise at a specific supply pressure, the characteristics will become unstable,
and it may affect the sensor, etc. and cause trouble.
The effective cross-sectional area on the ejector supply pressure side should be three times the nozzle diameter cross-sectional area as a guidewhen selecting piping and equipment. Insufficient supply flow rate may cause performance degradation.
Make the vacuum side piping as short as possible and make the inner diameter thick. If the piping is long or has a narrow inner diameter, theresponse time may be delayed during adsorption or detachment, and the required suction flow rate may not be secured.
For other common precautions for vacuum system equipment, please refer to our website.
