Setup

The VILLCASE Mini Level Ruler requires minimal setup. It is ready for use directly out of the package.

Operating Instructions

The mini level rulers are designed for straightforward and accurate leveling tasks.

General Leveling:

1. Position the Level: Place the level ruler directly on the surface you wish to check for levelness.
2. Check Horizontal Level: Observe the bubble in the horizontal spirit vial. For a perfectly level surface, the bubble should be centered precisely between the two indicator lines.
3. Check Vertical Level: For vertical alignment, position the level ruler vertically against the surface. Observe the bubble in the vertical spirit vial. The bubble should be centered for a perfectly plumb surface.

Using the Magnetic Base:

The integrated magnetic base allows for hands-free operation on ferrous metal surfaces.

1. Attach to Metal Surface: Simply place the magnetic base of the level onto any iron or steel surface. The magnets will hold the level firmly in place.
2. Adjust and Read: Adjust the object or surface until the bubble in the appropriate vial (horizontal or vertical) is centered.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the accuracy of your VILLCASE Mini Level Rulers.

• Cleaning: Wipe the levels with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust, dirt, or debris. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Storage: Store the levels in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Keep them in their original packaging or a tool bag to prevent scratches and damage.
• Avoid Drops: While durable, dropping the levels on hard surfaces can affect their calibration or damage the vials. Handle with care.
• Magnetic Base Care: Keep the magnetic base clean to ensure strong adhesion. Remove any metal shavings or debris that may accumulate.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic and aluminum alloy components.
