How to Use a Weighing Machine?

To use a weighing machine accurately, step onto it without shoes, wait for the weight to stabilize, and then step off.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Prepare for Weighing: Remove your shoes and any heavy items from your pockets or body (like keys or a phone) that could affect the reading.

2. Turn on the Scale (If Necessary): Some digital scales turn on automatically when you step on them, while others have a power button. Check the scale's instructions.

3. Step Onto the Scale: Once the scale is on and displays zero, carefully step onto the center of the platform. Distribute your weight evenly.

4. Stay Still: Stand still and avoid leaning or moving while the scale takes its reading.

5. Wait for Stabilization: Digital scales will typically display a flashing or changing weight until it stabilizes. Wait until the reading is steady.

6. Read the Weight: Once the weight is stable, take note of the reading. Most digital scales display the weight in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lbs).

7. Step Off the Scale: Carefully step off the scale.
