    dosent mention that in the manual! so still do your chalk lines for width and length to centre the room. then use laser square as you go to keep your tiling square, so it basically saves you gridding out? gonna use it a 80m2 job!

    May i ask how much experience as a tiler you have.if you dont mind .

    You will need to set out the job first then use the laser to help check your work as you travel .you can use the laser to help set up but be careful
