7. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your VISWIN H-Frame Easel.

• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and knobs to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
• Storage: Store the easel in a dry environment, away from extreme temperature changes or direct sunlight, which can affect the wood.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your easel, refer to the following common solutions:

• Easel feels unstable: Ensure all assembly hardware is securely tightened. Verify the easel is placed on a flat, level surface. Check that the angle adjustment knob is fully tightened.
• Canvas not holding securely: Make sure both the canvas support tray and the upper canvas clamp are adjusted to the correct height for your canvas and their respective knobs are firmly tightened.
• Difficulty adjusting height/angle: Loosen the corresponding adjustment knobs sufficiently before attempting to move components. Do not force adjustments.
