    First Test Indicator

    Hi,

    I purchased my first test indicator and was wondering why the arrow isn't pointing straight up (refer to attachment)? I know you can move the face, but no matter what I do, if I move the measuring point through it's full range of motions, if I release it, the arrow always points to the same off centre location.
