After use, it is important that you check the beam of your dial caliper for any unwanted residue that may affect the sliding motion of the dial.
Apply a small drop of oil to the beam of the caliper, clean it off with a cloth and open and close the jaws of the caliper a couple of times. This will prevent the rack and pinion mechanism from becoming stiff. |

Dial calipers should be stored somewhere dry and humid-free.
Most calipers have a protective plastic case to keep them safe when not in use. |
