4. Opstelling
4.1 Battery installasie
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the main body of the angle finder.
- Skuif of knip die deksel versigtig los om die kompartement oop te maak.
- Insert two 1.5V AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Plaas die batterykompartement se deksel veilig terug.
4.2 Attaching the Extension Leg
The angle finder comes with an extendable leg for increased measurement range.
- Align the extension leg with the slot on the main body of the angle finder.
- Slide the extension leg into place until it is securely seated.
- The extension leg features both metric and inch markings for direct measurement.

5. Bedryfsinstruksies
5.1 Basic Angle Measurement
- Druk die Aan/Af/Nul knoppie ( ① ) to power on the device. The backlit LCD will display the current angle.
- Open the angle ruler by moving the hinged leg. The display will show the angle between the main body and the hinged leg.
- Position the angle finder against the surfaces you wish to measure. Ensure both legs are flush with the surfaces for accurate readings.
- The measurement range is 0° to 220°.

5.2 Knoppie Funksies
Figuur 5: Beheerpaneel en knoppiefunksies
- On/Off/Zero ( ① ): Press to power on/off. A short press while on will set the current angle to 0.0° (Relative Zeroing).
- Hou vas: Press to freeze the current angle reading on the display. Press again to release.
- 180°: Press to display the supplementary angle (180° minus the measured angle).
- MTR (Miter Mode): Press to calculate the miter angle for single cuts. The display will show the required miter saw setting.
- COM (Compound Bevel Cutting Mode): Press to calculate compound miter angles.
5.3 Using the Locking Knob
The red locking knob is located at the pivot point of the angle finder.
- To secure an angle, turn the locking knob clockwise until the leg is held firmly.
- To adjust the angle, turn the locking knob counter-clockwise to loosen.
- Let wel: The tightener knob provides mechanical stability but is not designed to hold the angle for measurement transfer with absolute rigidity. Always verify the angle after locking if precise transfer is critical.
5.4 Using the Bubble Levels
The angle finder includes two bubble levels:
- One horizontal bubble level for checking level surfaces.
- One vertical bubble level for checking plumb surfaces.
- Use these in conjunction with the digital display for comprehensive leveling and angle finding tasks.

6. Onderhoud
- Skoonmaak: Vee die toestel af met 'n sagte, droë lap. Moenie skuurmiddels of oplosmiddels gebruik nie.
- Berging: Store the angle finder in its portable bag in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
- Battery vervanging: Replace batteries when the display becomes dim or the device fails to power on.
- Kalibrasie: The device is factory calibrated. If you suspect inaccuracies, perform a relative zeroing on a known flat surface.
7. Probleemoplossing
| Probleem | Moontlike oorsaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| Die skerm is leeg of dof. | Lae of dooie batterye. Verkeerde batteryinstallasie. | Replace batteries with new 1.5V AA batteries. Ensure correct polarity. |
| Inaccurate angle readings. | Device not properly zeroed. Obstruction between legs. | Perform relative zeroing by pressing the On/Off/Zero button on a flat surface. Ensure legs are clean and fully extended/closed as needed. |
| Locking knob does not hold angle firmly. | Knob not tightened sufficiently. Design limitation. | Tighten the knob firmly. Be aware that the knob provides mechanical stability but may not offer absolute rigidity for all applications. |
| Auto shut-off occurs too quickly. | Normal operation (5 minutes of inactivity). | This is a power-saving feature. Press any button to reactivate the display. |
