The edges of the pointer cutout, and the two fine 0.5 lines are 9.5mm from the arrow-point. Use
them as a vernier in setting 0.5 mm increments, to avoid guessing the mid-point between
graduations.

assembly into the left-hand corner of the protractor. Pull the finger out to lock. Press the trigger and
push the finger in to retract.
In use, the finger is extended and the protractor locked at an appropriate angle to press the wood
against the fence in front of the blade. The protractor must be locked in it's slot by loosening the
locking knob, rotating the pointer to the
A spare finger is included in case you accidentally cut one.
Each end panel has two scale pointers exactly 300 mm apart. For cuts in
the range 0 - 320, (with the fence on the left of the blade) use the pointers
which are closer to the blade. Line up the arrow point and read the lesser
figure on the scale arms.
For wider ripping in the range 320 - 620mm simply move across to the
outer scale pointers and read the higher figure.

400 mm if you were using the outer pointers.
Set on the left of the blade, the fence gives the maximum 620mm capacity.

However, if you prefer to use the fence on the right, the self-adhesive
Scale Pointer Labels (u), will provide the zero position.
Fit the fence on the right and touch it against the blade. Check it is exactly
parallel by comparing the readings at the front and rear panels - about
183mm / 483mm. Lock the fence, turn the blade backwards by hand and
the teeth should lightly skim the fence.
