No, the Marksman kit is supplied without chalk powder, allowing you to choose the specific color and type best suited for your project.
Yes, you can replace the string if it wears out, provided you use a compatible high-tensile cotton string of the same diameter.
Use the integrated line lock feature to secure the string at the desired tension after pulling it out.
The housing is water-resistant, but it is not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid storing the kit in wet conditions to prevent the chalk from clumping.
The internal system is designed to be 6 times faster than manual winding, significantly reducing the time spent retracting the line.
Check if the internal chalk reservoir is empty or if the chalk has clumped due to moisture; tap the housing to loosen the powder.
Ensure the line is not tangled inside the housing and that the line lock is fully disengaged.
Inspect the line for fraying or sharp edges on your workspace; ensure the line is not being pulled against abrasive materials while under extreme tension.
Before your first use, you will need to fill the housing with your preferred color of marking chalk through the fill port. To maintain the tool, ensure the cotton line is dry before rewinding it into the case to prevent mildew or snapping. Periodically check the steel hook for signs of rust or bending, and clean the housing with a damp cloth if it becomes excessively dusty. The line can be replaced if it eventually wears out, provided the replacement string is of similar thickness and material.
