INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing General Tools & Instruments’ (General’s) TS02 ToolSmart
Digital Angle Finder (DAF). Please read this user’s manual carefully and thoroughly
before using the instrument.

The DAF can be used as a standalone instrument, or with General’s free ToolSmart
app running on your phone. When used in concert with an iPhone®or Android

™

smartphone, the DMM can stream—via Bluetooth®— to the phone all
measurements it makes. The phone initiates the data transfer using the ToolSmart
app, which can be downloaded from the iTunes®App Store or Google Play Store.
The measurements can then be used to tag photos taken by the phone’s camera.
For example, the app can apply angle measurements of structures to blueprints
developed as part of a home renovation project.

Place the bottom of the DAF’s base arm against one side or leg of the structure
whose angle you wish to measure, and the top of the DAF’s measuring arm against
the other side or leg. The LCD will display the angle between the two sides or legs.

In practice, the height of the DAF prevents it from measuring angles less than 13º.
