Setup, Compatibility & Care
These sets require no formal setup; simply remove them from the packaging and they are ready for immediate use. To ensure longevity, encourage students to press the compass firmly but gently against the paper to avoid tearing. After each use, all items should be wiped clean of graphite dust and returned to their designated slots in the plastic case. The cases should be stored in a dry, room-temperature environment to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle. If a compass becomes loose over time, check the tension screw and tighten slightly with a small screwdriver to maintain precision.
