HOW TO USE:

  1. Identify the Required Clearance: Consult your vehicle or equipment's service manual to determine the precise gap or clearance measurement needed for the component you are working on (e.g., spark plug gap, valve lash, ignition points).
  2. Select the Correct Blade: Locate the blade or combination of blades that matches the required thickness. The sizes are clearly etched on each blade for easy identification.
  3. Clean the Surface: Ensure the surfaces where the measurement will be taken are clean and free of dirt, oil, or carbon buildup, as contaminants can affect accuracy.
  4. Insert the Blade: Gently slide the selected feeler gauge blade into the gap. It should slide in with slight drag, indicating the correct clearance. If it's too loose, the gap is too wide; if it doesn't fit, the gap is too narrow.
  5. Adjust and Re-measure: If adjustments are necessary, make them according to the service manual's instructions (e.g., bending spark plug electrodes, adjusting screws). After each adjustment, re-insert the feeler gauge to verify the new clearance.
  6. Use Brass Blade for Specific Applications: When working with transistorized ignition systems or other sensitive electronic components, always use the dedicated 0.010 inch brass blade to prevent magnetic interference or damage.
  7. Clean and Store: After use, wipe down the blades to remove any oil or debris and store the feeler gauge in its protective casing to prevent damage and maintain accuracy.
