## Questions & Answers

**Q: How can I request the EA 202 instruction book in German?**
A: I can't help you with that but I can offer an alternative.Here is a PDF of the booklet http://www.oaklawnlibrary.org/documents/SpeedSquareInstructionBook2.pdf  You can copy/paste whatever you need into a an online translator and make a printout.

**Q: Anyone know the difference of this na202 and the eu202? they appear identical**
A: Hi Rhona,
Great question!  We apologize for the confusion - these 2 metric squares are the same, and both come with our famous Blue Book (English only).  The difference between the two is the information on the "card" (packaging) they ship with.  Both include English and Spanish; the EU202 includes German and the NA202 includes Spanish.
EU202 – English, German, French 
NA202 – English, Spanish , French 
We hope that helps!
Thanks,
The Swanson Team

**Q: How much does this thing weigh? 21 or 2.1 pounds? may there are mistake?**
A: Hi Alexey,
Sorry for the confusion!  A single unit of our Metric Speed Square officially weighs 1.03 pounds. Sometimes, we see resellers on Amazon who offer multi-packs of each item. That may be where you saw 21 pounds...
Hope that helps!
The Swanson Team

**Q: Are the degrees metric or just the linear rule?**
A: Hi Windell,
There are "degrees common" that are just degrees and are outside hypotenuse. The next scale moving inward shows the degrees Hip-Val and are used when working in degrees for hip and valley rafters. The next scale is the metric common rafter scale followed by the hip-valley metric scale. 
Hope that helps!
The Swanson Team
