How to Read a Torpedo Level

Locate the bottom edge of the level. This sits on the surface you're trying to level
Inspect the body of the level and check for grabbing points where you won't block the vials with your hand(s)
Most levels feature a punched hole on at least one end for hanging above your workbench
The tube vial in the center of the level helps you find the true horizontal
Tube vials on the ends finds the true vertical
There is an angled tube vial to help find level at 45°

How to Use a Torpedo Level

Clean the level, removing all buildup and dirt from the edges
Place the level on the surface of the object for which you want to find the true horizontal. Make sure the spirit tube runs parallel to the object
The bubble will float to the top of the spirit tube
Put your eyes at level with the spirit tube
Take note of where the bubble is inside the spirit tube. If it's centered between the lines on the tube, your object is level. If the bubble is to the right of the lines, your object slopes downward right-to-left. If the bubble is to the left of the lines, your object slopes downward left-to-right
To find the true vertical or "Plumb," repeat the same process vertically
