What type of pencil leads should I use?

The Tracer ProScribe Tool is designed to be used with the included pencil and the replacement leads included in the kit. The kit also includes yellow alternative leads.

Can I use this tool for cutting?

No, the Tracer ProScribe Tool is designed for marking and scribing only. It is not intended for cutting any material.

How do I use the contour marking mode?

Place the tool against the object you want to scribe, and follow the contour. The tool will trace the shape for you.

What is the warranty on the tool?

The product includes a user manual with operating instructions.

How do I replace the pencil lead?

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.
