INTRODU CTION
The Ultra Scale Master
has been specifi cally
designed to simplify
take-offs for all fi elds
of construction. Use it
for estimating project
materials and costs, for
measuring, storing and
calculating perimeters,
areas, and volumes from
architectural plans and
other types of scaled
drawings. Also , use the
Ultra Scale Master to
calculate the area of
irregular shapes.

GETTING STARTED
Once assem bly and se tup are complete, proceed with the following ste ps in
order to begin measuring.
1. When placing the bar s and securi ng the drawing, make sur e that the
bars are at least 1" from the outermost me a surements.
2. It is essential that the bars rema in fi xed r el at ive to the drawing’s
position. Scrib e a line to mark the initial location of the bars a s a
reference point should t he bars shift.
3. The Puck should maintain a 45° angle with in the bars while me a suring.
4. Ensure that the measuring surface is fl at and smooth. Make sure there
are no folds, tears, or raise d areas of the plans.
5. Make sure there ar e no ob jects between the Puc k and the bars. Thi s
includes hands, arms, pencils or pens, cups, scale rulers, etc.
6. Make sure th at no air current is blowing d irectly into the measuring
area. Air blowi ng into the measuri ng path c an result in no
measureme nt re ad ing.
7. To get accurate measurements, make sur e that the Puck and the ba r s are
close to the a mbient temperat ure of the work environment.
