OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Power

Press the ON/OFF button (12) for ~1 sec to turn on the display and backlight.
The angle (8) which represents the angle between the arms (13 and 16) will be displayed in degrees (°).
The display will automatically power off after ~5 min of non-use.
The backlight will automatically power off after ~1 min of non-use. Any button press or angle change will cause the backlight to
power on if the display is powered on.
The battery life icon (1) will appear when there is ~2 hours of battery life remaining.
Press the ON/OFF button (12) for ~2 sec to power off the display.

Invert Display

With the display powered on, press the ON/OFF button (12) for ~1 sec to invert the display. Press again for ~1 sec to return display
to normal position.

Re-calibrate

If the unit is dropped or you suspect inaccuracy of the product, you can re-calibrate the zero point. With the power on and the arms (13
and 16) closed together, press the ON/OFF (12) and HOLD/SUP (11) buttons simultaneously for ~1 sec to reset the angle to 0°.

Hold

Press the HOLD/SUP button (11) for ~1 sec to lock the current angle shown on the display. The HOLD indicator (3) will appear
and flash on the display. Press (11) again for ~1 sec to unlock the displayed angle.

Supplemental angle

Press the HOLD/SUP button (11) for ~2 seс to change the display to the

supplemental angle.The supplemental angle is 180° minus the current angle
between the arms (13 and 16). The SUP indicator (2) will appear and flash
on the display. Press (11) again for ~2 sec to return to normal angle.

Easy Mitre Angle

With the arms (13 and 16) set to the desired angle, press the MITRE button
(15) for ~1 sec. The mitre angle (90° - ½X) will be shown. The display will
be locked on that angle and the MITRE indicator (5) will appear and flash
on the display. To set the mitre saw, see pic.3, setting M.

Compound Angle Mode

For compound angles such as cuts for crown molding, you will need to enter
compound mitre mode and store two angles into memory; the Spring (SPR)
and Corner (CNR) angles (see pic. 4 and 5). The unit will then calculate the
Mitre and Bevel angles needed to set a compound mitre saw. See pic. 3, set­tings M (mitre) and B (bevel).

Note: If you do not know the spring angle of the item you are working with,
it is easier to get that angle before starting. The spring (SPR) angle is usually
38° or 45° for crown molding. See pic. 4.

pic. 3

This is done by placing the molding as shown in pic. 6. Once the arms are set
to matching the angle of the item, press the HOLD/SUP button (11) for ~2
sec to get the supplemental angle. That will be the spring (SPR) angle.
EX: Angle between arms = 135°
Supplemental angle = 45°

Step 1: Start compound mitre mode. Press the MITRE button (15) for ~2
sec. The SPR indicator (7) will flash and the SPR angle that was last stored
into memory will be shown for ~2 sec.
Step 2: The SPR indicator (7) will stop flashing and the display will again
show the active angle. If the stored SPR angle needs to be changed, adjust
the arms (13 and 16) until the displayed angle matches the known spring
angle (typ. 38° or 45°). Then press the MITRE button (15) for ~2 sec. The
displayed angle and SPR will flash once and the spring (SPR) angle is now
stored in memory.
If the stored spring angle does not need to be changed, press MITRE button
(15) for ~1 sec to move to the next step.
Step 3: If you do not already have the CNR indicator (6) shown in the dis­play, press the MITRE button (15) for ~1 sec. The CNR indicator will flash
and the CNR angle that was last stored (6) into memory will be shown for ~2
sec. The CNR indicator (6) will stop flashing and the display will again show
the active angle. If the stored CNR angle needs to be changed, adjust the
arms (13 and 16) as shown in pic. 5. To store the corner angle into memory,

press the MITRE button (15) for ~2 sec. The displayed angle and the CNR indicator (6) will flash once and the corner (CNR) angle is
now stored in memory.
If the stored corner angle does not need to be changed, press MITRE button (15) for ~1 sec to move to the next step.
Step 4: If you do not already have the MTR indicator (5) shown in the display, press the MITRE button (15) for ~1 sec. This is the
calculated mitre angle for setting the saw. See pic. 3, angle M.
Step 5: Press the MITRE button (15) for ~1 sec to change the display to the bevel angle. The BVL indicator (4) will be displayed. This
is the bevel angle for setting the saw. See pic. 3, Angle B.
Press the MITRE button (15) for ~1 sec to cycle back through the stored spring angle, the stored corner angle and the calculated mitre
and bevel angles.
Press the ON/OFF button (12) at any time for ~1 sec to exit compound angle mode.
