Using a measuring tape:
The
end piece (metal hook) is designed to fit loosely on the end of the measuring
tape. It allows for inside and outside measure-ments. For inside measurements the
end piece will compress by the thickness of the hook. For outside measurements
the end piece will expand by the thickness of the hook.
Â
Always
make sure that there is no slack caused by the end piece when measuring. The
tape is naturally cupped out to reinforce the measuring blade. When marking a
measurement, flatten the measuring blade to increase accuracy on the area being
marked.
Â
When
adjusting the fences on a table saw or a band saw, make sure the machines are
switched off when using the measuring tape.
Â
Maintenance:
The measuring tape's accuracy needs to be checked often. The end piece can get bent over time and it is easy to fix by straightening it by a pair of pliers.
