FAQs
What is the primary material of this spirit level?
The spirit level is constructed from 5mm thick aluminium.
How does the non-slip feature work?
The end caps are designed with non-slip strips to provide better grip and stability on various surfaces, preventing accidental movement.
Is this spirit level suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, its durable aluminium construction makes it suitable for outdoor use. However, it should be stored in a dry place when not in use to prevent corrosion.
What are the milled edges used for?
The two milled edges provide precise reference points and allow for accurate measurements when placed directly against surfaces like walls or worktops.
Can I use this level for very long distances?
The 60cm length is ideal for general-purpose leveling. For significantly longer distances, you might need a longer spirit level or a laser level.
How should I clean the spirit level?
Wipe the spirit level with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish or the vials.
What should I do if the bubble is stuck?
Gently tap the vial. If the bubble remains stuck, ensure there is no dirt or debris obstructing its movement and that the vial is not damaged.
Troubleshooting
Bubble does not center when the level is placed on a known flat surface.
Check if the spirit level has been dropped or impacted. If so, the vial may be misaligned or damaged. Clean the vial and surrounding area. If the issue persists, the level may need recalibration or replacement.
Spirit level appears to be inaccurate.
Ensure the surface you are measuring against is truly level or plumb. Clean both the surface and the spirit level's measuring edges. Verify the bubble moves freely within the vial.
Non-slip end caps are losing grip.
Clean the end caps with a damp cloth and allow them to dry thoroughly. If they remain slippery, consider replacing the end caps if possible, or use tape to temporarily enhance grip.
