How should I clean the protractor?

Troubleshooting

Markings are difficult to read

Ensure the protractor is placed on a surface with good contrast. Clean the surface of the protractor with a damp cloth to remove any smudges.

Protractor is scratched and visibility is reduced

Minor scratches may not significantly impact functionality. For deep scratches, consider replacing the protractor. Avoid using abrasive materials when cleaning.

Difficulty aligning the zero mark accurately

Ensure the base of the protractor is aligned precisely with the baseline of the angle you are measuring. Use the clear plastic to visually match the edge of the protractor with the line.
