"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.
