Troubleshooting
The line is snapping or breaking during use
Check the line for signs of wear or fraying; if compromised, replace the cord and avoid over-tensioning.
Chalk is not marking clearly
Ensure the reservoir is not empty and check that the line is not damp, which prevents it from picking up fresh chalk.
Line becomes tangled inside the housing
Pull the entire length of the line out, ensure there are no knots, and carefully guide it back into the spooling mechanism while maintaining light tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your chalk line, open the sliding cover and fill the reservoir with your preferred brand of marking chalk. Ensure you do not overfill to allow the internal components to move freely. When not in use, retract the line completely to keep it dry and protected from debris. If the line becomes damp, pull it out fully and let it air dry in a shaded area to prevent mold or rotting of the cotton blend material. Periodically inspect the line for fraying to maintain the 16kg strength threshold.
