Assembly Instructions

Usage Instructions

To Draw Standard Angles

  1. Trace between the arms of your selected angle (see image 2).

To Draw Circles

  1. Place a pin (or equivalent) in the centre hole. This will act as a pivot.
  2. Place your pen in the radial hole that matches the radius you're after. One of the arms supports radii of: ¼", ¾", 1¼", 1¾", 2¼", 2¾", and 3¼". The other arm supports radii of: ½", 1", 1½", 2", 2½", and 3".
  3. Rotate the tool about the pivot to trace your circle (see image 3).

To Draw Hexagons

  1. Mark each outer corner of the tool and trace a circle that will correspond to the size of the hexagon you're after (see image 4).
  2. Trace a line between each opposing corner marks.
  3. Join the points where the lines cross the circle (see image 5).
