LAYOUT PROCEDURES
When you are laying out metal, there are certain
precautions that should be observed. In the following
paragraphs, some of the more important precautions are
discussed. For information on the use of layout tools,
you should refer to Use and Care of Hand Tools and
Measuring Tools, NAVEDTRA 14256.
You should take every precaution to avoid marring
aluminum-alloy and steel sheets. To protect the under
surface of the material from any possible damage, you
should place a piece of heavy paper, felt, or plywood
between the material and the working surface. When
you are working with a large sheet of material, it is
important to avoid bending it. It is a good idea to have
someone help you place it on the work surface.
