The miter angle "MTR", by which the two workpieces are
to be shortened, is calculated. For these miter cuts, the
saw blade is vertical to the workpiece (the bevel angle
is 0°).
Press button 14. The calculated horizontal miter angle
"MTR", which has to be set on the chop and miter saw,
and the "MTR" indicator will be shown on the display.
Press the "MTR1" button 14 to return from the "Simple
Miter" operating mode to the "Angle Measurement" op-
erating mode.
Pressing the "ON/OFF" button will also take you back to
the "Angle Measurement" operating mode.
Note: The calculated miter angle "MTR" can only be tak-
en over for chop and miter saws, for which the setting for
vertical cuts is 0°. When the setting for vertical cuts is
90°, the angle for the saw must be calculated as follows:
90° – indicated "MTR" angle = angle to be set on the saw.
The "Compound MTR" operating mode is used to easily
determine the miter and bevel angles needed to create
precision joints at compound angles. This is particularly
useful when cutting crown molding laid flat on a com-
pound miter saw.
The "Compound Miter" operating mode is activated by
pressing the "MTR2" button.
Carry out the worksteps exactly in the given sequence.
"1. SPR": Storing the Spring Angle
To start "Compound Miter" calculation:
– Open the fold-out leg and base leg until the desired
spring angle is shown on the display.
– Measure the spring angle if it is unknown. To do so,
place the workpiece you want to measure between
the fold-out leg and the base leg. If measurement is
not possible with the anglefinder on especially narrow
or small workpieces, use auxiliary equipment, e.g. a
bevel, and then set the angle on the anglefinder.
– To use a saved "HOLD" value (indicator a is static on
the display), press "HOLD," previously saved angle
will flash. Press "MTR2" and held angle will blink
twice with "SPR" indicator flashing. Continue with
step 2 below.
When the angle is greater than 90° yet less than 180°
when pressing button 15, the "SPR" spring angle is auto-
matically converted as follows:
"SPR" = 180° – measured or set angle.
