Service and Maintenance Recommendation

To ensure the long-term reliability, safety, and accuracy of your ScalaTech equipment, we recommend following these general service and maintenance practices:

General Care

  • Clean the exterior of the tool after each use using a soft, dry cloth.

  • Avoid exposure to water, mud, dust, or corrosive substances unless the tool is rated for such environments.

  • Store the tool in a clean, dry, and temperature-stable environment when not in use.

  • Use provided cases or covers for added protection during transport and storage.

Routine Inspections

  • Regularly inspect moving parts, fasteners, and exposed components for wear or damage.

  • Check for buildup of dirt, dust, or moisture that may affect performance or longevity.

  • Ensure sensors, display screens, connectors, and interfaces remain clean and functional.

  • Confirm that power switches, buttons, and mechanical mechanisms operate smoothly and safely.

Battery & Power Management

  • Use only approved chargers and power accessories.

  • Charge batteries fully before extended use and avoid overcharging.

  • Inspect battery housings and contacts regularly for signs of wear or corrosion.

Software & Updates

  • Check regularly for firmware or software updates to maintain compatibility and performance.

  • Back up stored data frequently, especially if the tool supports digital storage or export functions.

When to Contact Support

  • If the tool shows signs of abnormal behaviour, performance issues, or physical damage.

  • Before attempting any disassembly, internal inspection, or modification.

  • For warranty or repair inquiries, including replacement of worn or damaged parts.

Important: Tampering with internal electronics, firmware, or structural components may void your warranty. Always contact ScalaTech for service assistance before attempting repairs.
