Basic Measurement and Marking:

1. Позициялоо: Place the rule firmly against the edge of your workpiece. Utilize the center finger grooves for a secure grip and stable positioning.
2. Reading Scales: The rule features both a standard left-to-right scale and a center scale. The standard scale measures from one end, while the center scale reads "0" at the center and extends outwards in both directions, ideal for symmetrical layouts.
3. Белгилөө: Use a sharp pencil or marking knife along the beveled edge to transfer measurements to your material. The 30-degree bevels minimize parallax, ensuring accurate marks.

Using the Center Scale:

The center scale is particularly useful for finding the exact center of a board or for laying out symmetrical designs. Align the "0" mark of the center scale with the desired center point on your material, then mark measurements outwards from that point.

Repeatable Marking with Rule Stop:

When using the RS2 Rule Stop, attach it to the desired measurement on the rule. This allows you to hook the rule to the board's edge and make multiple, consistently spaced marks without re-measuring each time.
