Preparation
INSERTING/REPLACING THE BATTERY (FIG. 2)
The digital Angle Setter is not supplied with a battery and one must
be fitted before first use. Only use 9V PP3 batteries or one of the
following equivalents MN1604, 6F22, 6LR61, 0068 or A1604.
FIG. 1
FIG. 2
To open the end cap/battery cover (10) undo and remove the two
end cap retaining screws and pull the end cap out. Insert the
battery in to its compartment and connect the terminal lead. Press
the ON/OFF button and check that the LCD screen is functioning.
Push the battery fully in to its compartment and refit the end cap.
Your Angle Setter is now ready for use.
● When the ‘LOW BAT’ battery indicator (b) appears in the display
for the first time, measurements are still possible but accuracy
may be reduced, please replace the battery as soon as possible
to avoid any costly errors.
● If the Angle Setter is not to be used for a prolonged period of
time the battery should be removed, as it may discharge and
corrode causing damage to the internal components.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
Press the ON/OFF button (4) to turn the Angle Setter on or off.
After approximately 5 minutes without a button activation or an
angle change, the Angle Setter will automatically shut itself off to
preserve battery life.
Operation Instructions

MEASURING ANGLES (FIG. 3)
Position the fold-out leg (1) and the base leg (3) planes against the
edges to be measured. The displayed reading corresponds with
the internal angle (W) between the base leg and the fold-out leg.
The reading is indicated on the LCD display until the legs are
moved in relation to each other.

RETAINING THE MEASURED VALUE (HOLD)
The current reading can be retained in the display by pressing the
HOLD button (6). When the hold mode is activated, ‘HOLD’ (d) is
indicated in the LED display. The reading remains unchanged
(even when the legs are moved in relation to each other) until the
HOLD button (6) is pressed again.
TRANSFERRING A MEASURED ANGLE (FIG. 4)
Position the fold-out leg (1) and the base leg (3) planes against the
edges to be measured. The displayed reading corresponds with
the internal angle (W) between the base leg and the fold-out leg
(Fig3). This measure can then be directly and accurately transferred by taking the Angle Setter to the new workpiece. When
directly transferring a measured angle pay attention that the
fold-out leg (1) and base leg (3) ARE NOT MOVED and that the
HOLD mode is not activated.
CONVERTING A MEASURED ANGLE TO A MITRE ANGLE
Position the fold-out leg (1) and the base leg (3) planes against the
edges to be measured. The displayed reading corresponds with
the internal angle (W) between the base leg and the fold-out leg
(Fig5). Press the HOLD button (6), to store the measured angle,
the user can now activate the MTR (mitre) button (5). By pressing
the MTR button (5), the Angle Setter will take the measured angle
and convert it to the correct mitre cut angle (M). This measurement
is the angle you need to set your mitre saw to in order to create
the correct mitre angle cut (Fig5).
