FAQs:
Q: Can I use the Type 81S REM on non-metal surfaces?
A: Yes, the level will still function accurately on any flat surface, but its magnetic advantage is exclusive to ferrous (metal) materials.
Q: Will the magnets weaken over time?
A: Rare earth magnets retain their strength much longer than ferrite types, ensuring years of dependable hold.
Q: How do I clean and maintain this level?
A: Simply wipe the milled surface and vials with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid exposing it to solvents or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
