Troubleshooting
Ruler joints are stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the joints with a dry cloth. If stiffness persists, a small amount of light lubricating oil can be applied to the pivot points, followed by wiping away any excess.
Measurement markings appear worn or difficult to read
Ensure the blade is clean. If markings are significantly worn due to extensive use, it may be time to consider replacement for critical measurements, though Facom products are designed for durability.
Ruler does not hold its extended position securely
Check that the ruler is fully extended and that the joints are properly engaged. Ensure no debris is preventing the joints from locking. For persistent issues, contact customer support.
