TIP 1: FRONT NUT The pencil holder operates
on a ratchet style mechanism with 16 fixed
pencil should click between set positions.
TIP 2: REAR NUT Loosen the nut just enough
so that parts can move freely but there is still
enough friction to support it’s own weight.
This will make fine adjustments much easier.

Loosen the front nut and fit pencil
if required.
Loosen rear nut and raise arm to
set required oset distance before
tightening all nuts.
Loosen front nut and adjust the
pencil angle and height as
required before retightening. The
pencil lead can also be extended
as required.
In the closed position (1) the
ProScribe is ready to perform
20mm oset scribes. If required,
loosen the front nut and fit pencil.
For a quick, closer oset, rotate
the pencil holder into one of the
set ratchet positions and adjust
the pencil/lead height as required
to achieve a closer oset before
tightening all nuts. For more
precise control or for osets
larger than 20mm use mode (C).

PROFESSIONAL CONSTRUCTION MARKERS
®
Warning: Do not apply excessive force through the guide point, this may cause
damage to the surface being marked against.
KEEP AT 90º
Parallel Scribing
Adjust the pencil position as per the Setup Guide overleaf to the
required oset distance, ensuring the oset distance meets/exceeds
the largest gap between the surface being marked, and the guide
surface.
While Ensuring the guide point face remains in contact with the guide
surface, press the pencil lead against the surface to be marked and
move the tool laterally to begin marking.
Note: depending on the application the top or bottom face of the
guide point can be used.

Adjust the pencil position as per the Setup Guide overleaf ensuring
the oset distance meets/exceeds the largest gap between the
guide surface and marking surface.
While ensuring the guide point is lightly pressed against the guide
surface, move the tool laterally to begin marking.
Profile Scribing (Contour)
Note: To maintain accurate scribing the tool must be perpendicular
(90 degrees) to the guide surface at all times!
For profiles that are deeper than the guide point, or where longer
straight scribing is required the parallel mode may be preferred.

2.
Adjust the pencil position as per the Setup Guide overleaf to match
the radius requirement.
While ensuring light pressure is applied to the guide point, rotate to
tool to start a marking.
Compass
Note: When setting the tool to mark a hole, remember to halve the
hole diameter to calculate the tool oset distance/radius to ensure
the hole is the correct size.
