ATTACH TO SAW FENCE
MI Caliber should sit on
left side of saw fence, securely, with its feet
on flat faces (not on rib features). Verify it is securely attached to saw
fence once clamped
To clamp to saw fence, place palm on
top of clamp (A) and fingertips on
lower
handle (B) ensuring you do not touch
the yellow release latch (C•not shown)
- Applying a firm grip, squeeze the two
surfaces together A clicking sound can
be heard once clamp is properly secured
To remove, utilize the same grip while
pressing the
yellow release latch (C) to
release clamping force and remove MI
from fence
*Adapter plate may be required if your fence does not meet the
minimum specifications. See back for additional details

To unlock the arm and begin to measure, push the arm up towards the bottom of the
MI housing (a click sound can be heard at the top of the motion) then guide the arm
down to meet the surface of the saw base.
To lock the arm in the upright position (when you are finished using the MI for the day),
push the arm up until it meets the bottom of the MI housing and allow the arm to
extend slightly as it lowers (a click sound can be heard) to the resting position
CALIBRATION
While all MI Caliber Tools come with a factory calibration, an onsite calibration
is recommended when first receiving the MI to ensure the most accurate cuts
possible are made that match a specific tape measure. Tape measures may vary
based on manufacturer and class rating making it essential that a calibration is
performed to match the specific tape measure blade printing The following
procedure allows the MI to accurately convert rotary motion of the wheel to
inear measurements that exactly match a specific tape measure.

BEFORE BEGINNING, ENSURE THE FOLLOWING:
The MI is powered off
The MI is properly secured to the fence
A flat, smooth, and straight piece of material at least 8 ft (2 5m) is available to use
A trusted tape measure, at least 8 feet long, that will be commonly used, is available
A sharp tip pencil or pen is available to make a mark
MOVE MATERIAL SLIGHTLY TO THE
RIGHT AND ENSURE THE MATERIAL
IS STABLE ON SAW SETUP.
SELECT UNITS (FT OR M).
