INTENDED USE

Multi Point Layout

The Point 2 Point has been designed to offer an
instant visual guide during layout tasks, including
working out the positions of screws, dowels, pins
or alternatively shirt buttons, curtain pleats etc.

Min.width: 85mm
Max.width: 710mm

Centre Finder

Find the center point of a board quickly, indicated

by the Point 2 Point’s central upright.

Strip Calculator

The Point 2 Point can also indicate the maximum
number of strips that can be cut from a board.

OPERATION

It’s recommended that where possible the
Point 2 Point is used on a flat surface.

The Point 2 Point is designed for both left & right
handed users. To correctly orientate the Point
2 Point, ensure the right angle cut out on the
uprights face the hand you write with.

Before use ensure the pinch bolts are loose.

Please note, pinch bolts are for tensioning
and not to fully tighten down the uprights.

Equidistant Layout

n Mark the two outer positions of the area to
be sub-divided.

n Expand the Point 2 Point mechanism past
the outer markings.

n Gently compress the mechanism down to
the required size.

n Carefully tighten both tensioning pinch

bolts, ensuring that the ‘’setting’’ is not

disturbed. Please note, the pinch bolts
are for tensioning and not to fully tighten
down the uprights.

n Mark the divisions indicated by the upright
cuts outs.

Large Workpiece Layouts

When marking out positions on a larger panel.
Divide the panel into equal sections of less
than 710mm (28”), then sub-divide the sub
section with the Point 2 Point.

Although the accuracy of the MK2 has been
improved, it is not suitable for marking out dovetail,
finger or other small, high tolerance joints. This is
due to the float within the mechanism.

MAINTENANCE

Please use only Trend original spare parts and
accessories.

This accessory has been designed to operate over
a long period of time with minimum amount of
maintenance. Continual satisfactory operation depends
