The cover template is very useful to determine the cover bonus granted to miniatures in close combat or behind a scenery element. As indicated in the rulebook, you just have to compare the height of the cover (which you can easily see through the template) to the stature of the miniature concerned, the result indicated at the intersection of these two values indicates the cover bonus. If the intersection is not in the template, the bonus is +4, if it is in the unnumbered corner of the template, no bonus is applied.
