Dixie DIGITAL ANGLE GAUGE User manual

Step 2. Raise your saw blade to full height. Rotate the
Dixie Digital Angle Gauge to the left and stick it on the
left side of your table saw blade. Make sure the gauge is
setting at on the blade and not sitting on the saw blade
teeth. The 3 powerful magnets will hold the Dixie Digi-
tal Angle Gauge to the saw blade. The Dixie Digital
Angle Gauge is now reading the saw blade angle rela-
tive to the saw top. Adjust the saw blade so that the Di-
xie Digital Angle Gauge displays 90 degrees. (see g 2. )
Fig 2.
Note: If your saw blade tilts to the right you will rotate your
Dixie Digital Angle Gauge to the left and place it on the left
side of your saw blade (show above). If your saw blade tilts
to the left you will rotate your Dixie Digital Angle Gauge
to the right and place it on the right side of your saw blade.
Step 3. To set a 22.5 degree. setting you need to subtract
it from 90 degree which equals 67.5 degree. Turn the angle
adjustment crank until the display reads 67.5 witch is 22.5
degree to the saw top. (Fig 3.)
DIXIE DIGITAL ANGLE GAUGE
The Dixie Digital Angle Gauge is used to check or set
angles on shop machinery fences, blades, cutters, bits
and machine tops.
You can calibrate most machinery fences, blades, cut-
ters and bits to the machine top using the Dixie Digi-
tal Angle Gauge as long as the moveable part is steel.
How The Dixie Digital Angle Gauge Works
The Dixie Digital Angle Gauge has two modes.
Relative Mode which is used to check the angle differ-
ence between one surface to another. This mode is most
commonly used to check for or adjust to 90 degrees. To en-
ter Relative Mode turn on the Dixie Digital Angle Gauge
Using the ON /OFF button. Look to the top right hand
corner of the display window when the display window
does not show ABS the Dixie Digital Angle Gauge is in
Relative Mode. Short press the ABS /Zero Button to cy-
cle through Relative Mode and ABS Mode when in Rela-
tive Mode a second short button press will zero the gauge.
Example Right Tilting Table Saw Blade Set Up in Rel-
