Swedish term or phrase: Styra mot
I fallet betong/stentopp skall den endast lyftas rakt upp då den styr i djupled mot ryggplåten för att därefter centreras i sidled.

This refers to the dismantling of the top plate of a stove. I don't understand the use of the verb and what it actually means here.

Another example:
I fallet sten/betongpanel är det ett spår som styr mot två upphöjningar i kaminkroppen.
