Test the framing square for proper alignment. Place the body along a straight edge (the factory-cut edge of a sheet of plywood works well), and draw a line along the outside edge of the tongue. Flip the square's body 180 degrees. Line up the outside edge of the tongue with the nearest point of the line previously drawn. Again, draw a line along the outside edge of the tongue. If the two lines are coincident, the square is true.
Adjust the framing square. If the lines diverge at the top, the angle of the framing square is less than 90 degrees; you'll have to open up the angle. Using the center punch, make one or two dimples along the inside of the tongue, near the corner of the square.
Close the angle using the center punch if the lines converge at the top. Make one or two dimples along the outside of the tongue, near the corner of the square.
Test the framing square as in step 1. Repeat step 2 as necessary until the square is true.
