Troubleshooting
Compass legs won't stay open or closed at a set position.
Ensure the hinge screws are sufficiently tightened. If the issue persists, the locking mechanism of the stop system may need adjustment or cleaning.
Drawing tool is loose in the universal holder.
Tighten the screw on the universal holder securely around the drawing tool. Ensure the drawing tool is not excessively thin or thick for the holder.
