Troubleshooting

Measurements are inaccurate.

Ensure the caliper is properly calibrated. Check for any debris between the jaws that might affect readings. Make sure the jaws close completely when measuring.

The sliding jaw is stiff.

Clean the sliding track and apply a light machine oil. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the movement.
