Application:
The retractable measuring tape is an extremely useful tool to be used in all measuring applications.
Features:

- Metal and rubber protective casing.
- Easy to release.
- 20% thicker blade for added durability and longer life.
Using a measuring tape:
The
end piece (metal hook) is designed to fit loosely on the end of the measuring
tape. It allows for inside and outside measure-ments. For inside measurements the
end piece will compress by the thickness of the hook. For outside measurements
the end piece will expand by the thickness of the hook.
Always
make sure that there is no slack caused by the end piece when measuring. The
tape is naturally cupped out to reinforce the measuring blade. When marking a
measurement, flatten the measuring blade to increase accuracy on the area being
marked.
When
adjusting the fences on a table saw or a band saw, make sure the machines are
switched off when using the measuring tape.
Maintenance:
The measuring tape's accuracy needs to be checked often. The end piece can get bent over time and it is easy to fix by straightening it by a pair of pliers.
