“Simple Mitre” Operating Mode
The “Simple MTR” operating mode is used for calculation
of the “MTR” cutting angle when two workpieces with the
same mitre shall together form any outer angle x° smaller
than 180° (e.g. for floor trimmings, staircase balusters and
picture frames).
When workpieces are to be fitted into a corner (e.g. for
floor trimmings), measure the corner angle x° by applying
the fold-out leg and the base leg. For given angles (e.g. pic-
ture frames), open the fold-out leg and the base leg until
the desired angle is indicated in the display.
The mitre angle “MTR”, by which the two workpieces are to
be shortened, is calculated. For these mitre cuts, the saw
blade is vertical to the workpiece (the bevel angle is 0°).
Press button 10 for at least 1 s. The calculated mitre angle
“MTR”, which is to be set on the chop and mitre saw, as
well as the indication “MTR” is indicated on the display.
When the measured or set outer angle x° is greater than
180°, the error indication “– – – –” will be indicated on the
display after pressing button 10 for two seconds; after-
wards, the measuring tool will change to the “normal meas-
uring mode”.
Press button 10 less than 1 s to switch back from “simple
mitre mode” to “normal measuring mode”.
Note: The calculated mitre angle “MTR” can only be taken
over for chop and mitre 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.
