Clean the line pins and brick jointer with water to remove mortar residue and allow them to dry completely before storing.

Troubleshooting
Line pins are difficult to insert.
Ensure the mortar is firm enough but not fully cured. If hitting solid obstruction, try a slightly different spot or use a rubber mallet gently.
Nylon line is sagging.
Ensure the line is stretched tautly between the line pins. Re-tie or adjust the tension. Check that the line pins are securely in place and not leaning.
Brick jointer is leaving uneven marks.
Ensure the mortar is at the correct consistency (not too wet or too dry) before using the jointer. Apply consistent pressure and move the jointer smoothly along the joint.
