Determining Angles for
Simple Miter Cuts
The SIMPLE MTR feature deter- mines miter angles for miter cuts that are made with the blade verti- cally perpendicular to the work- piece; in other words, miter cuts for which the bevel setting is set at 0°. Such applications include mitering baseboard and base shoe, chair rail, picture rails, door frames, stair- case balusters, and picture frames.
Procedure
1Measure the joint’s angle by placing the legs flat against the surfaces adjacent to the angle.
2Determine the miter angle by pressing the SIMPLE MTR but- ton for more than 1 second.
3The necessary miter angle is displayed and “MTR” appears in the display.
4Set the miter angle on the saw, taking care to properly orient the workpiece according the saw’s instruction manual.
5Return to the normal mea- suring mode by pressing the ON/CLEAR/OFF button for less than 1 second.
Notes:
–To exit the SIMPLE MTR mode, press ON/CLEAR/OFF for less than 1 second.
–The DAF220 Miterfinder™ pro- vides miter angle values for saws with miter scales that have 0° as the setting for a perpendicular cut. When making miter cuts us- ing tools that have 90° as the set- ting for perpendicular cuts (such as many table saw miter gauges), the MTR angle needs to be sub- tracted from 90° to calculate the setting needed on such saws:
90° – MTR = correct miter set- ting for saws with 90° perpen- dicularity setting.
