Using the DeWalt DWHT38116S tape measure is straightforward. Pull out the tape by hand. When you need to stop the blade at a certain position, use the integrated finger brake for better control. To measure, simply place the end of the tape at the starting point and extend it to the end point. The fractional blade graphics make it easy to read the measurement. When not in use, retract the tape gently. As for maintenance, keep the tape clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or rough handling. The durable blade coating helps protect the blade, but try to prevent it from getting scratched to ensure a longer blade life.
