FAQs
How do I lock the tape measure?
Most models have a locking mechanism on the side or top. Slide the lock to secure the blade at your desired length.
How do I read the measurements accurately?
Ensure the end hook is flush against the starting point of your measurement. Read the markings on the blade carefully to determine the measurement.
Can I use this tape measure for curved surfaces?
Yes, but be aware the blade is more rigid than cloth tape measures. Measure carefully.
What is the accuracy class?
Class II accuracy indicates a certain level of precision, suitable for general use.
How do I clean the tape measure?
Wipe the blade and case with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using solvents or excessive moisture.
What should I do if the blade breaks?
Unfortunately, the blade is not replaceable. You would need to replace the entire tape measure.
What is the standout measurement?
The standout is the distance the blade can extend horizontally before it begins to droop. This model has a 90cm standout.
Troubleshooting
Blade won't retract smoothly.
Check for dirt or debris in the tape measure mechanism and clean if necessary. Gently pull the blade and retract it slowly to aid the mechanism.
End hook slips when measuring.
Ensure the end hook is properly seated against the item being measured. Apply slight pressure to keep it in place.
