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
1 Measure the joint's angle by
placing the legs flat against the
surfaces adjacent to the angle.
2 Determine the miter angle by
pressing the SIMPLE MTR but-
ton for more than 1 second.
3 The necessary miter angle is
displayed and "MTR" appears in
the display.
4 Set the miter angle on the saw,
taking care to properly orient
the workpiece according the
saw's instruction manual.
5 Return 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.
