Align the desired angle (90° or 45°) with the edge of your workpiece for precise marking. 2. Scribe Lines Accurately — Use the 1/4" spaced notches along the edge to easily scribe parallel lines at consistent intervals for layout or cutting guides. 3. Utilize Multi-Functionality — Employ the square as a protractor for angle measurement, a line scriber, or a saw guide for straight cuts, leveraging its 5-in-1 capabilities. 4. Consult Blue Book for Formulas — Refer to the included Swanson Blue Book for construction formulas and layout techniques to enhance your project planning and execution. ## Product details | Field | Value | |---|---| | Usage Instructions | Align the square's edge with your material for precise 90° or 45° marking.
