Using the Greenlee FTXSS-240 fish tape is straightforward. First, find a flat surface and place the case on the ground. This way, you can use both hands to handle the tape. Unlock the storage lock and start pulling the tape out. Thanks to the free - spinning interior reel, it should come out smoothly. When you reach the desired length, use the laser - etched markings on the stainless - steel tape to measure. For cable installation or pulling, attach the cable to the flexible leader with an eyelet at the tape end. As you work, if you feel the tape is getting stuck, the anti - bind case design should help reduce the problem. When you're done, make sure to lock the storage lock to keep the tape secure during transport. For maintenance, open the easy - open case regularly to clean it. If the tape gets worn out, you can easily swap it with a replacement tape from the quick - change reel. Just keep in mind that this tape is suitable for general use and also works well in wet or corrosive environments. But avoid using it in situations where the tensile strength of 400 lbs might be exceeded, as this could damage the tape.
