Troubleshooting

Clean the guide path with a dry brush to remove trapped dust and ensure the locking thumb wheel is fully released before sliding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the tool, loosen the thumb wheel to release the articulated arm and slide it to your desired offset distance. For delicate work, ensure the flat base is held flush against your reference surface to maintain a consistent line. The tool is compatible with standard pencils used in carpentry. To maintain the tool, keep the sliding steel guide plate free of debris and sawdust; use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the device down after each project. Periodically check the tension on the thumb wheel to ensure it remains smooth and responsive during adjustment.
