Full details

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Festool folding rule, store it in a dry environment when not in use. While the rule is finished with a protective coating to resist abrasion and weather, avoid using harsh chemical solvents to clean it, as this may degrade the markings. If the joints become stiff, a light application of a dry lubricant can restore smooth operation. Ensure that you do not force the links beyond their natural pivot point to prevent damaging the hardened steel springs.
