approximately 5 minutes without the button activation or angle change, the
measuring tool shuts off automatically to preserve battery life.
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 (w) between the base leg and
the fold-out leg.
The reading is indicated on the display until
the legs are moved in relation to each other.
RETAINING THE MEASURED VALUE (HOLD) FIG. 3
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 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 ANGLE TO MITRE ANGLES (FIG. 4)
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
fold-out leg (1) and base leg (3) don’t move.
After pressing the HOLD button (6), which
stores the measured angle, the user can
now activate the MTR (mitre) button (5). By
pressing the MTR button (5), the Angle
Finder is taking the measured angle and
converting it to the correct Mitre Cut Angle.

This measurement is what you need to set your mitre saw in order to create
the correct cut.
