FAQs
Can I use this marker on wet surfaces?
The marker is designed for dusty conditions, but performance on actively wet surfaces may be reduced. It's best to ensure surfaces are as dry as possible for optimal marking.
Is the ink permanent?
The ink is designed for durability on construction materials. Permanence can vary depending on the surface type; it is generally resistant to smudging once dry on porous surfaces but may be more susceptible to removal on extremely smooth, non-porous materials.
How do I clean the marker tip if it gets dirty?
Gently wipe the tip with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using water or solvents, as these can interfere with the ink flow and composition.
What does 'clog-free' mean in this context?
It means the marker's tip is specifically designed to resist clogging from dust and small particles commonly found on job sites, ensuring consistent ink delivery.
Can I buy replacement tips for the marker?
Replacement tips are not typically available. The marker is designed as a unit for professional use, and when the ink is depleted or the tip is significantly worn, a new marker is intended.
What is the purpose of the TRACER Site Holder?
The TRACER Site Holder is designed to keep the marker securely attached to your tool belt, pocket, or work area, ensuring it is always readily accessible and protected.
Troubleshooting
Marker tip is not marking or marking faintly.
Ensure the cap has been removed. Press the tip gently on a scrap surface to encourage ink flow. Check if the tip is obstructed by dust or debris and carefully clean with a dry cloth. Ensure the marker is not dried out; if so, a new marker may be required.
Ink is smudging excessively on a specific surface.
This can occur on very slick or non-porous surfaces. Allow extra drying time. For some materials like glass or polished metal, consider using a test mark first to check adhesion and permanence. Ensure the surface is clean and free from oils or grease.
Marker does not survive drops or rough handling.
While built for durability, extreme impacts can damage the marker. Utilize the provided shirt/trouser clip and site holder to keep the marker secure and prevent accidental drops.
