FAQs

How do I ensure accurate measurements?

Make sure the blade is securely locked and that the square is placed firmly against the surface you are measuring. Always check that the surface is clean from debris.

What should I do if the blade becomes loose?

Tighten the knurled adjustment screw. If it still doesn't hold, the screw or the stock might be damaged and need repair or replacement.

How can I protect the square from rust?

Wipe the square dry after use, and store it in a dry environment. Consider applying a light coat of oil to the blade to prevent rust, especially in humid conditions.

What is the warranty period?

LIFETIME for all hand tools; 3 YEAR for power tools, air & petrol tools.

Can I use this square for very fine precision work?

While the SL31 is accurate, it may not be suitable for the most demanding precision tasks. For extremely fine work, you might consider a specialized tool.

Troubleshooting

The spirit level shows an incorrect reading.

Check if the square is on a level surface. If the problem persists, the spirit level may be damaged. Contact the manufacturer for a replacement or repair if under warranty.

Measurements are inaccurate.

Ensure the blade is securely locked in the stock. Check for any damage or debris that might be interfering with the measurements. Recalibrate if needed.
