Operation Instructions

MEASURING ANGLES (Fig. 3)

Position the fold-out leg 1 and the base leg 3 plane against the edges to be measured. The displayed reading corresponds with the internal angle the fold-out leg.

The reading is indicated on the display until the legs are moved in relation to each other.

The current reading can be retained in the display by pressing the

When the hold mode is activated, “HOLD” d is indicated in the display. The reading remains unchanged (even when the legs are moved in relation to each other) until the HOLD button 6 is pressed again.

Position the measuring tool with the fold-out leg

1 or with base leg 3 against the angle you

want to measure. Adjust the required angle with the other leg and project the angle onto the workpiece.

When directly projecting a measured angle onto a workpiece, pay attention that the foldout leg pressing the measured angle, the user can now activate the

MTR (miter) button 5. By pressing the

MTR button 5, the Angle Finder is taking the

measured angle and converting it to the correct Miter Cut Angle. This measurement is what you need to set your miter saw in order to create the correct cut.
