Kangastelgede pingutuslati kasutamisel reguleeritakse esmalt selle pikkus lati skaalal vastavalt lõimelõngade kogulaiusele. Seejärel torgatakse pingutuslati teravikud mõlemal pool täiesti kanga servadesse ning kasutuse käigus tuleb pingutuslatti sageli edasi nihutada, et hoida seda kanga kudumisserva lähedal, kus kudumine parajasti toimub.
To use a weaving temple, the length is first adjusted so that it matches the total width of warp threads in the reed. The prongs are then inserted into the fabric, on each side, at the very edges of the cloth. The temple must be moved frequently to keep it close to the fell of the fabric, where the weaving is taking place.
