Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Faithfull Prestige tools maintain their accuracy, store them in a clean, dry environment. Because the combination square relies on a sliding mechanism, it is important to occasionally wipe the sliding groove with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove sawdust or metal shavings that could affect the tool's alignment.
Avoid dropping these tools on concrete or hard workshop floors, as impact can affect the squareness of the blade relative to the stock. If you find the sliding action is too loose or too tight, adjust the tension nut on the head to your preferred resistance. While the tools are corrosion-resistant, a light wipe with a light machine oil once or twice a year will maintain the luster of the black anodised finish and keep the locking screw running smoothly.
