FAQs

What is the lifespan of the Pica Powder Deep Hole Spray Marker?

The marker itself is designed for long-term use. The refill chalk provides up to 1,500 shots.

Can I use other brands of chalk refills?

It is recommended to use only Pica green-fluorescent chalk refills specifically designed for this marker to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage.

How deep can the marker reach?

The spray nozzle arm is designed to reach and mark precisely through drill holes up to 25cm deep.

Is the chalk powder visible in all lighting conditions?

The chalk is green-fluorescent, providing high visibility. For optimal visibility in very low light, an external light source is recommended.

How do I remove the chalk mark from smooth surfaces?

The chalk is easily removable from smooth surfaces using a damp cloth or standard cleaning methods.

Does the marker work on wet surfaces?

Yes, the Pica Powder Deep Hole Spray Marker and its chalk are designed to adhere effectively to wet, as well as dry, rough, and smooth surfaces.

What is the purpose of the 360° spray nozzle arm?

The 360° nozzle arm allows the spray to reach all sides of the drill hole and difficult-to-access areas, ensuring a complete and accurate mark.

Troubleshooting

Marker not spraying chalk.

Check that the chalk refill is correctly inserted and not empty. Ensure the nozzle arm is fully extended and clear of obstructions. Test spray on a clean surface.

Weak or inconsistent spray pattern.

The nozzle may be partially blocked. Gently clean the nozzle with a soft brush or use compressed air. Ensure the chalk refill is not compacted.

Chalk not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean and free from excessive dust or grease. The marker is designed for challenging surfaces, but extreme contamination can affect adhesion.

Nozzle arm does not extend properly.

Check for any visible damage or obstruction around the nozzle arm joint. Ensure the marker is not stored with the arm constantly extended.
