FAQs

How do I check if the square is accurate?

Place the square against a known 90-degree angle, such as a factory edge on a piece of wood. If the square doesn't align perfectly, recalibrate it.

What materials can I use this square on?

The Bahco CS400 can be used on wood, metal, and plastic materials.

How do I use the metal scriber?

Use the scriber to mark lines on the material you are working with. Ensure the blade of the square is aligned with the mark you want to make.

How do I adjust the depth for repeated marking?

Loosen the locking mechanism and slide the blade to the desired position. Tighten the locking mechanism to secure the setting.

Is the level bubble accurate?

The level bubble provides an approximate level. For precise leveling, use a dedicated level.
