Summary

Before Beginning

Assembly

Attaching Gauges to Framing Square

Slide the larger gauge on the 2" leg and the smaller gauge on the 1-1/2" leg of your framing square.

Positioning for Accuracy

Ensure the top inside edge of the gauge is pressed against the outside edge of the framing square.

Setting Rise and Run Measurements

Use ruler markings on the square to set RISE with the small gauge and RUN with the large gauge.

Optional One Track Removal

Remove the One Track attachment hardware from each slot if not using the 24" One Track.

Using Deluxe Stair Gauges

Indexing Corners Against Work

The inside facing corners index against the work, aligning with the top inside facing edges.

Using the One Track

Attaching the One Track

Slide the T-slot of the 24" One Track onto the head of the bolt in each gauge's slot.

Securing the One Track

Position the One Track along the work edge and tighten the knobs to secure it.

Marking with Deluxe Stair Gauges

Marking Adjacent Rise or Run

Use the top plates to mark the adjacent RUN or RISE for a short distance (1 to 1-1/4").

Repositioning for Next Layout

Slide the framing square/gauges along the work edge to reposition for the next layout.
