Proper Measuring
1. Set the gauge flat on a reference surface such as a table saw, miter saw,
or jointer table. On a band saw or drill press the blade or bit will be the
reference surface. Keep the back of the gauge in a plane perpendicular to
the surface being measured. FIG 6
2. Turn on and press the ON/ZERO button to set the gauge to 0.0 degrees
which calibrates the reference surface.
3. Attach to the saw blade or jointer fence using the imbedded magnets. The
back of the gauge must always be kept in the same plane perpendicular to
the reference surface for all measurements. FIG 7
