Square Layouts
Unlike time consuming and inaccurate 3-4-5 methods,
one person can square up to 150' indoors, 70-80' outdoors and even more with
a target
Both beams intersect at the inside corner of the
framing square, so if your used to the “Nail and string thing”, simply
push the inside corner of the square up to the nail and your squaring from that
nail.
To shoot perpendicular from an existing wall, bump
one edge against the wall and the other beam is exactly 90° from the wall,
measure out the desired distance, mark your spot, and snap your lines. See the SL-24 for
removing the need of chalk lines entirely.
Targeting
Use any piece of wood with a vertical line on it
to transfer the dot to the floor. From an existing snap line shoot square away
from the line by keeping the inside corner and the other dot lined up with your
snapped chalk line.
Carpet Cutting
Shoot one dot along the salvage edge and cut across
the width keeping the cutter on the other.
Pattern Matching
Align inside corner and one dot on 2 patterns along
the salvage. Target the other dot above the pattern on the opposite side to check
if there is any skew in the pattern or the cut. Then bring the target to the
middle to check for bow.
