Troubleshooting

Chalk line is not marking a clear line.

Ensure the chalk container is adequately filled. Replace the chalk if it's old or clumped. Also, ensure the line is taut when snapping.

Line rewinds slowly or sticks.

Check for debris or chalk buildup inside the housing. Clean the mechanism with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism might be damaged, and you should consider the 5-year guarantee.
