You can also view our instructional video here. Step 1 Prepare the test strips of material from the same shipment of stock used in the test sample. Cleanly cut 2" by 5-1/4" (50mm x 135mm) strips for the 2-pound weight. 2" x 7" (50mm by 177mm) strips for the 4-pound weight (if necessary). Step 2 The 2" by 5-1/4" (50mm x 135mm) strips are placed face up against the endpin of the scoring device (wooden block), on top of the wires (as shown). Then 'scored' using the micarta-scoring tool at the red dot positions. This will facilitate bending the strip to conform to the test weight Step 3 Bend the test strip at the 'scores', this will help it lie flat on the weight. Step 4 The test strip should be placed under one clip with the scoring lined up with the edge of the weight. Smooth the test strip across the bottom of the weight and attach the other end under the opposite clip. Step 5 Place your 2 5/8" x 6" (66mm by 150mm) printed stock test specimen on the base pad of the unit. A small piece of tape may be used to secure the specimen to the base unit if necessary Step 6 Place the weight (with the test strip attached) on the arm of the unit by slipping the hook into the arm over the pin. The weight should lay flat on the test specimen The machine should NOT be running Step 7 Use the "count" button to select the number of strokes desired. Pressing the button will start the count. Holding the count button down, the machine will count in increments of 1 until it reaches 10 The machine will then count in increments of 10 until it reaches 100 When the button is released, the machine will count in increments of one again, following the same sequence mentioned previously. Use the 'select speed' button to choose speed 1, 2, 3, or 4 The small light at the tip if the black button will indicate the speed chosen Press the 'start' button to begin the test The unit will countdown the strokes to 000, then it will automatically reset to the count just entered. Remove the weight and examine the test specimen Step 8 The 2-inch by 7-inch (50mm x 177mm) strips are placed face up against the end pin of the scoring device (wooden block). On top of the wires (as shown) then 'scored' using the micarta scoring tool at the white dot positions. This will facilitate bending the strip to conform to the test weight Step 9 The test strip should be placed under one clip with the scoring lined up with the edge of the weight The test strip should be placed under one clip with the scoring lined up with the edge of the weight Smooth the test strip across the bottom of the weight and attach the other end under the opposite clip on the weight Step 10 Steps 10-12 are the same as 5-7; only using the 4-lb weight.
