I agree, they are always quite hard to place where you want them on a
level, but you can get it exact with perceverance. From what I can
remember, you have more luck if you start by making the guardian a
horizontal first, laying it where you want it, then turning it into a
diagonal and tweaking it.

It messes around with any guardians which come after it. I have used
it to make certain guardians stop and start erratically. I used it in
my demo of DTV in Miner World.
