Specific Safety Precautions for Use
- Proper Use: Always use the GO gauge to determine the minimum chamber depth as recommended by SAAMI. The NO/GO gauge is used to identify excessive chamber depth.

- Inspection: Before using, ensure that the gauges are precisionground and hardened. Inspect for any visible damage or defects.

- Gather all necessary tools and equipment needed for the measurement process.
Using the GO Gauge:

Using the NO/GO Gauge:
