Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the tool involves nothing more than ensuring the adjustment screw moves freely. Before initial use, verify that the points meet perfectly when closed to ensure calibration accuracy. If the adjustment feels stiff, a tiny drop of light machine oil on the threads of the adjustment screw can improve performance.
To ensure the longevity of your Faithfull caliper:
- Keep the tool clean and free of metal filings after every use.
- Store in a dry environment; since the legs are natural steel, a light coating of machine oil wiped onto the surface periodically will help prevent rust.
- Do not apply excessive force to the adjustment screw, as this can strain the bow spring.
