How to use

Pull the tape gently from the coil until the required length is reached, hold the housing steady and read the measurement from the marked blade. Retract the blade slowly to avoid sudden snapping back into the housing and to protect the tape edge. For measurements around corners or when measuring between fixed points, use the tape end to hook onto the edge or a stable anchor point; if necessary ask a colleague to hold the tape at the far end for greater stability when measuring longer spans.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape in its coil housing in a dry place and avoid sharp impacts. Retract the blade under control and clean any dirt from the blade after use to maintain accurate readings. Inspect the tape edge and housing periodically and replace the tool if the measurement markings become worn or the coil mechanism is damaged.
