No offense, but DITCH that Piece of Plastic S*** Lee "Safety" Scale. Send it back, use it for target practice, run it over with your truck, but don't rely on it as a safety valve.
The ones I have seen and used have:
Been VERY VERY easy to bump out of the selected weight. That's not a good thing when you're trying to work up a new load.
Been very spotty in their accuracy. Also not a good thing.
Been very sensitive to dust & dirt contamination.
That said, it's pretty obvious that I don't really care for the Lee Scale.
If, however, you're stuck with it for awhile, then order a set of calibrated scale weights, and use them to check your "safety" scale on a REGULAR basis.
Also, clean the scale and recalibrate it with the weights before EVERY loading session. When it's not in use, keep it covered to prevent dust contamination.
Finally, hit a gunshow and get an RCBS 505 beam scale. I've got either a 505 or a 510 (can never remember).
