Troubleshooting

Marking lines are inconsistent or inaccurate.

Ensure the tool is properly adjusted to the desired setting. Check that the pencil lead is securely in place and not broken. Make sure the surface is clean and free of debris.

The ratchet mechanism is difficult to operate.

Ensure the mechanism is clean and free of any obstructions. If necessary, apply a small amount of lubricant to the moving parts. Do not force the mechanism.

The tool is not holding its position.

Tighten the adjustment screws to ensure the tool maintains its setting. Check for any damage or wear on the locking mechanism.

Compass marking is not producing a perfect circle.

Ensure the center point is securely placed and the tool is held perpendicular to the surface. Check that the pencil lead is sharp and the compass arm is set to the correct length.
