INTRODUCTION
The Ultra Scale Master
has been specifi cally
designed to simplify
take-offs for all fi elds
of construction. Use it
for estima ting project
materials and costs, for
mea suring, 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 asse mbly and s e tup are complete, pro ceed with the following steps in
order to begin me asuring.
1. When placing the ba r s and securi ng the drawing, make sure that the
bars are at least 1" from the outer most me a surements.
2. It is essenti al that the bars rema in fi xed r el at ive to the drawing’s
position. Scr ib e a line to mark the initial location of the bars as a
reference point should the bars shift.
3. The Puck should maintain a 45° angle within the bars while measuring.
4. Ensure that the measuri ng surface is fl at a nd smooth. Make sure there
are no folds, tears, or rais e d areas of the plans.
5. Make sure there a r e no obj e cts between the Puck and the bars. This
includes hand s, arms, pencils or pen s, cups, scale rulers, etc.
6. Make sure t h at no air current is blowing d irectly into the measuring
area. Air blowing into the measuring path can result in no
measure me nt read ing.
7. To ge t acc urate measurements, make sure that the Puck and the ba r s are
close to the a m bient temperat ure of the work environment.
