How to use

Usage recommendations

For best results, keep the blade clean and dry and avoid excessive bending or shock that could deform the tape. When measuring long distances, support the blade at intermediate points to reduce strain on the end hook and rivets. Store the tool in a dry place and use the belt clip or a pouch to protect the housing during transport.
