How do I clean the aluminium body?

Troubleshooting

Inaccurate readings

Ensure the blade is fully extended and locked securely. Clean the scales and ruler edge of any debris. Verify that the stock is flat against the workpiece.

Spirit level bubble not centered

The spirit level is an accessory and may require recalibration or replacement if significantly off. For critical leveling, use a dedicated spirit level.

Scribe not marking effectively

Check if the scribe tip is clean and sharp. If dull, it may need to be replaced or sharpened carefully.

Difficulty sliding the head

Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged. Clean any dust or debris from the ruler and the head's channel.
