Does the slider lock or tighten to draw proper circles?

No, the slider does not lock at all. The only solution I found was to have my students use a piece of tape to hold it in place. :-(

Well it might be the SD-Lock. To test it, take out the sd unlock the little slider and try to put it back.Then take it out again to check if the SD-Lock is "Locked" (opposed to when you inserted.).With mine i just glued the lock so it does not turn back. (Literally glued)

Yea, mine lock in both directions. You push until there's a small click and the same for the open position.

Make sure that the toggle between tightening and loosening is pushed all the way to one side or the other. If its in the middle it will not do anything.

I use it all the time, sagging lines and all. You can tighten them with the knobs on the side. I think the lines stretch with time, although there is some mechanism that should keep them somewhat tight.

Hope you've figured it our by now (question was posted in 2009 and I'm answering in 2010) but in case you haven't..... the grey (or other color) "ring" rotates and then it will slide out when you press the button. It's an ingenious design- but maybe the ring should be another color since it blends with the design so well.

Never had mine do that. I adjust the legs if it is crooked. Then play with those thinwires around the neck to adjust the width of the spray circle. there are two thinwires around the neck. Perhaps yours are together somehow. If that is thecase the adjust the wires by pulling them around. One should allow the sprayer to go left and the other to right.

The newer ones are worse than the older ones. But someone else suggested using a mallet to tap it loose, then untighten by hand. Same for closing. It works--but it's the only way it works for me. There may be a lubricant to help it slide, but I haven't used one. Sad to say, but I keep a new one of these with my pool stuff just in case the old one stops working.

Yes. It has the image transfer tip that comes with it that you can do circles with. It's not small like the rest of the tips though. Maybe between the size of a penny and nickel.

Yes, if it's in timer mode just push override quickly once for temporary off mode. If you want it to stay off permindent then hold down the override till solid circle turns solid in window - then it's Off.Hope this helpsBobby

Sorry it's taken so long to respond. You can turn middle moveable wheel counter-clockwise to tighten. There is a noticeable difference, when you fluctuate that wheel.

I imagine that your having the same issue as me, that it rotated no matter how tight it goes onto the plate. The solution is a plate that has two pins, this is by design under the slider you see a secondary hole this extra pin prevents rotation.

I have had no problem with locking. But it sometimes show incorrect length in the display.

the two circular ends spin right and left. Start with one end, turn the circle to the left, press it against the wall, and then turn to the right to lock it. Repeat for the other side. I think there is a lock-&gt; marker on the circle

The ball is is loosened or locked by turning the larger knob on the pedestal. Be gentle you don't have to throttle or muscle it. Counter-clockwise on the knob to loosen, clockwise to tighten. The pedestal itself can be loosened/tightened for rotation with the smaller knob that is attached to the pedestal Comment: This is a simple task.Read the instructions if these efforts can not be figured out upon taking out of the box . Take 5 minutes to tinker with it before you mount your camera get angry and start throwing things; something I do not recommend :). Merry Christmas!

Cover needs to be turned counterclockwise, maybe 1/16 of a turn: I found that by trying to first tighten the cover (clockwise rotation) and then to loosen it, alternating back and forth, it works itself open....eventually. Then, insert thumbnail near the chrome loop to remove cover.

All of the below, straight, Parallel, level. You can test it by taking the drawer out and individually testing the slide action. If the slides work great without the drawer your are getting binding somewhere. Put the drawer back in with the back brackets slightly loose and see if it solves your problem. Tight when done though.
