TO USE
To Make a Mark
0.5 mm Mechanical Pencil (supplied): Hold the pencil vertically and draw a
short line in one of the slots or twist the pencil in a hole to mark a dot.
Wooden Pencil: sharpen the pencil, twist the lead once or twice in one of
the holes for an ultra fine point ready for marking.
Metal Scribe or Center Punch: the scribe or center punch MUST be
sharp enough to fit through the holes. ONLY use finger pressure to mark
a precisely located “dimple” in soft materials such as wood, paper, plastic,
brass or aluminum. DO NOT hammer the point into the hole this will result in
damage to the precision rule.
Marking Relative to the End or Edge of the Workpiece
Place the T-Bar against the end or edge of the workpiece and make a mark
in the hole or slot at the desired measurement.
