Troubleshooting
Markings are not perfectly straight.
Ensure the straight edge is held firmly against the material and that the marking tool (pencil or scriber) is kept in consistent contact with the edge of the straight edge. Check for any debris under the straight edge that might be causing an uneven surface.
Difficulty marking on certain materials.
Ensure you are using the appropriate marking tool for the material. For smoother or harder surfaces, a metal scriber might be more effective than a pencil. Make sure the marking tool's tip is sharp.
Edge appears damaged or nicked.
Inspect the edge carefully. Minor cosmetic imperfections may not affect performance. If significant damage is present, it may impact accuracy. Contact customer support if concerned.
