[title] Using the external jaws
-[* icon_note] Follow this step to get an external measurement such as screw length or screw head diameter.
-[* black] Open the jaws wide enough for the object being measured to fit between the [link|https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/4V2yOgaEyCnqSYAS.full|external jaws|new_window=true].
-[* black] Gently close the jaws on the object until they're lightly touching it.
- [* red] Check that your object isn't crooked and its ends are flat against the jaws.
+[* icon_note] Use the larger [link|https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/4V2yOgaEyCnqSYAS.full|external jaws|new_window=true] to get external measurements, such as screw lengths or screw head diameters.
+[* black] Open the jaws wide enough for the object being measured to comfortably fit between them.
+[* black] Gradually close the jaws until both sides touch the object. Don’t push too hard, yet firm enough to make sure both jaws sit flat against the object.
+ [* red] Check that your object isn’t crooked when you take your measurement.
[* black] Read the measurement.
-[* black] Take the measurement of the object a few times and ensure it's the same each time. If you get inconsistent readings, zero the caliper and try again.
-[* black] ***Zero the caliper before making another measurement.***
