General Safety Rules
WARNING! Read all
instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions
listed below may result
in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Safety Rules for
Anglefinders
fWhen using the angle informa-
tion provided by this tool to cut
materials, always observe all of
your saw’s instructions, includ-
ing those for positioning and
clamping the workpiece. In
some cases, it may not be pos-
sible to set the required angles
on a particular saw or type of
saw, and an alternative means
of performing the cut will need
to be used.
fFor extremely acute (sharp)
angles, it may be necessary to
make the cut using a taper jig
with a table saw or circular
saw.
Functional Description
Intended Use

sures the exact angle of existing
structure or workpiece.
– Protractor – Precisely positions
the workpiece or intended cut
line at the desired angle
– Miter Cut Calculator – Deter-

Preparation
Insert the batteries before putting
into operation for the first time.
Slide the battery compartment
cover 4in the direction of the rect-
angle point and open. While insert-
ing the batteries, make sure that
they are properly oriented
(see Figure B).
The tool automatically switches on
after the insertion of the batteries.
All display segments appear for
about 5 seconds while the unit per-
forms a self check and calibration.
Once it is completed, the tool dis-
plays the “current angle”; that is,
the present angle between the legs.
When the battery indicator
stays on, it indicates that the bat-
teries are running low and that
measurements can be made only
for about another 1–2 hours. If the
battery indicator starts to blink,
power is so low that measurements
are no longer possible, and the bat-
teries must be replaced.
Switching On and Off
– ON: Press button 11. All seg-
ments of the angle display ap-
pear briefly.
– OFF: When the tool is in the nor-
mal measuring mode, press but-
ton 11 for less than 1 second.
After 3 minutes without button
actuation or angle change, the tool
switches off automatically to maxi-
mize battery life.

Exiting Special Modes
A press of 11 ON/CLEAR/OFF for
less than 1 second while the tool is
in the SIMPLE MTR or COMPOUND
MTR modes (or when HOLD [mem-
ory] is flashing) returns the tool to
the normal measuring mode.
Operation
Normal Measuring Mode –
Measuring the Angle of
Structure or Workpiece
(See Figure D–F)
1Place both legs flat on the sur-
faces adjacent to the angle.
2The “tool-interior angle” w(the
angle between the main leg 6and
the adjustable leg 2) is measured.
3The angle measurement in
degrees is shown in the display.
Notes:
– Contact surfaces and contact
edges must be clean. A dirty
surface will cause erroneous
measurements.
– For increased ability to see the
measurement, there are displays
on both the front and back sides
of the tool.
– When the angle between the
legs is changed, the angle mea-
surement displayed is automati-
cally updated.
Using the Leg Extension
(Optional Attachment)
The leg extension makes it possible
to measure convex angles when
one of the contact surface areas is
too short to accommodate the
length of the legs.
– Slide the leg extension 14 onto
the adjustable leg 2in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow on
the extension.

– The leg extension can be extend-
ed out up to 6-3/4" or 170 mm
(see Figure A).
– When the extension is used in
this way, the “tool-interior an-
gle” wis displayed though it is
the “tool-exterior angle” v that
is needed (see Figure G). To
determine the “tool-exterior
angle”, subtract displayed angle
measurement from 180°
(v= 180°–w).
Examples of Leg Extension Usage
– Figure G illustrates the measure-
ment of a stairway step’s angle.
– Figure H illustrates the measure-
ment of the angle of the top of a
ventilation shaft that is to be
covered.
– Figure I illustrates the measure-
ment of a sloped window’s angle.
Transferring of Angles
(See Figure D)
The Miterfinder™ can also be used
to copy existing angles from one lo-
cation to another:
1Measure the angle to be copied
and keep the tool opened to that
angle.
2Place the contact edges of the
tool onto the structure or work-
piece and use the tool as a
straight edge to mark both legs
of the intended angle location.
Protractor
The Miterfinder™ can also be used
to position a workpiece or intended
cut line at exactly the desired angle
1Open the tool to the desired
angle.
2Please the tool into the intended
position of the work.
3Use the tool as a straight edge to
mark both legs of the intended
angle location.
