FAQs

What is the maximum angle that can be copied?

The lever allows for copying any angle between 0 and 270 degrees.

Does the tool have fixed angle stops?

Yes, the rotatable blade features fixed positions for 45°, 90°, and 135°.

How is the accuracy of the tool guaranteed?

The Quattro Bevel Square is precision manufactured with a CNC-milled stock and a laser-cut blade, providing high accuracy with an angle tolerance of ±0.06° (±1 mm/m).

Can this tool be used for marking stud centers?

Yes, the 45mm wide blade includes a center line specifically for quickly marking both sides of standard stud dimensions.

What are the scribing notches for?

The scribing notches, spaced 5mm apart, are used for drawing or cutting parallel lines along an edge with precise spacing.

Is the blade material durable?

Yes, the blade is made of high-strength stainless steel, measuring 2 cm long and 1mm thick, designed to withstand tough working environments.

How does the foldable design benefit the user?

The foldable design makes the tool compact and easy to store in a toolbox or pocket, ensuring portability and protection for the blade.

Troubleshooting

Blade is stiff or won't move freely

Ensure there is no debris in the joint. Clean the joint area. If necessary, apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot point and work the blade back and forth.

Angle measurement appears inaccurate

Verify the blade is fully seated against the stock when set to 0° or 90°. Ensure the locking lever is fully engaged when holding an angle. Check for any damage to the scales or blade.

Lever does not lock the angle securely

Inspect the lever mechanism for damage or debris. Ensure the blade is positioned correctly within the mechanism. If the lever is damaged, contact the manufacturer for service.

Scribing notches are blocked or damaged

Carefully clean out any debris from the notches using a fine pick. If notches are physically damaged, they may not function accurately for parallel line marking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Hultafors Quattro Bevel Square requires no initial setup. It is ready for use out of the box. Ensure the locking lever is disengaged before attempting to adjust the blade angle.

Compatibility: This tool is universally compatible with standard woodworking and metalworking tasks that involve angle measurement and marking. Its blade width is suitable for standard stud dimensions.

Care: To maintain accuracy and longevity:

  • Keep the blade and moving parts clean. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can damage the scales.
  • Store the tool in its folded position to protect the blade and prevent accidental opening.
  • Periodically check the joint for debris and ensure smooth operation. A light application of oil on the joint mechanism can be beneficial if stiffness occurs.
