Troubleshooting

Markings are difficult to read.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Good lighting conditions will also improve visibility of the etched markings.

For minor bends, you may be able to gently realign it on a flat surface. Significant warping may affect accuracy and require replacement.

Rust spots appearing on the surface.

Light rust can often be removed with a fine-grade steel wool or a rust remover specifically designed for metal tools. Immediately clean and dry the square thoroughly afterward, and consider applying a light coat of tool oil for protection.

Compatibility: The square is compatible with all standard lumber and building materials. Its dual measurement systems make it compatible with projects requiring either metric or imperial units.

Care: To maintain the longevity and accuracy of your steel roofing square:

  • Cleaning: Wipe down the square with a dry or slightly damp cloth after each use to remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the markings.
