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

I just use the laser to keep an eye on things

I set out from the middle of door.. box section down the middle and tile off that.

checking with laser as I go

u still need to find a point to come square off of like say ur tiling a [] i would center the room strike ur line with a chalk line then say ur coming a full tile off the back wall i would get ur size mark it on your chalk line then run your laser so its going down your chalk line then strike it with a chalk line going across the way so your floor is square than as you come back just keep using the laser to make sure u keep square and dont stagger away hope this helps
