- 1). Set a length of aluminum soffit on top of the worktable.
- 2). Place the end of the tape measure on one end of the aluminum soffit and pull the tape measure along the length of aluminum soffit.
- 3). Mark the length that you need to cut the aluminum soffit with the carpenter's pencil.
- 4). Extend the mark across the face of the aluminum soffit by aligning the framing square with the mark and running the carpenter's pencil along the edge of the framing square.
- 5). Put on your safety glasses and align the blades of the scissor shear with the pencil line you drew on the surface of the aluminum soffit.
- 6). Pull the trigger of the scissor shear and push the scissor shear across the surface of the aluminum soffit. Make sure that you keep the blades of the scissor shear aligned with the pencil line while you cut.
- 7). Repeat the process for each piece of aluminum soffit that you need to cut.
