How to Use a Combination Square
- Place the anvil of the square against the edge of the working surface you wish to cut
- Draw a line along the blade edge until your pencil reaches the anvil of the combination square
- Once completed, the line should be a perfect 90° angle with the edge of the working surface
How to Use a Combination Square For Angles
- Place the shoulder of the square against the edge of the working surface you wish to cut
- Draw a line along the blade edge until your pencil reaches the shoulder of the combination square
- Once completed, the line should be a perfect 45° angle with the edge of the working surface.
To Draw a Line Parallel to the Edge of Wood Being Used
- Place the anvil of the combination square along the edge of the working surface
- Place your pencil at the end of the blade ruler
- Put pressure on the end of the blade rule with your pencil and move the handle side along the work surface, allowing your pencil to follow with the motion of the handle
- Once this has been done for the desired length, lift up your pencil and combination square to notice the parallel line along the working surface
To Use the Blade as a Normal Ruler
- Loosen the adjustable knob
- Slide the handle off of the blade
- Utilize the blade as a ruler
To Use the Handle as a Level
- Loosen the adjustable knob
- Slide the handle off of the blade
- Utilize the handle as a normal level by placing the anvil side of the handle upon any surface wished to be measured
