On mine, the "scale" starts at 10. Ie, you dial it ypto 10 with the zero on the handle. Wind it to "2" on the handle = 12 etc.

Wind it back to 7 (so its just below the scale)

Thats how mine works anyway

Just do it up a bit. That'll be OK.






IIRC the small halfords one I borrowed went this low.

The big one has a minimum of 60 though I think.
