To open the battery lid 15, press the latch 14 and remove the battery lid. Insert the batteries/rechargeable batteries. When inserting, pay attention to the correct polarity according to the representation on the inside of the battery compartment. When the battery low indicator b is indicated the first time in the display, measurements can be made for only about 1 –2 hours. When the battery low indicator b flashes, the batteries/rechargeable bat- teries must be replaced. Measurements are no longer possible. Always replace all batteries/rechargeable batteries at the same time. Do not use different brands or types of batteries/rechargeable batteries to- gether. Remove the batteries/rechargeable batteries from the measuring tool when not using it for longer periods. When storing for longer periods, the batteries/rechargeable batteries can corrode and self-dis- charge. Operating temperature – 10 °C ... +50 °C Storage temperature – 20 °C ... +70 °C Batteries 2x1.5 V LR6 (AA) Operating time, approx. 25 h Automatic switch-off after approx. 5min Leg length 400 mm Weight according to EPTA-Procedure 01/2003

Dimensions 425 x 41 x 58 mm Digital Angle Measuring Device PAM 220 The measuring tool can be clearly identified with the serial number 13 on the type plate.

Slide the leg extension as far as necessary over the joint of the measuring tool. Operation Initial Operation Protect the measuring tool against moisture and direct sun light. Do not subject the measuring tool to extreme temperatures or var- iations in temperature. As an example, do not leave it in vehicles for a long time. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the measur- ing tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into oper- ation. In case of extreme temperatures or variations in temperature, the accuracy of the measuring tool can be impaired. The contact surfaces and contact edges of the measuring tool must be clean. Protect the measuring tool against impact and shock. Debris particles or deformations can lead to faulty measurements. Switching On and Off To switch on the measuring tool, press the “On/Off” button 11. Once switched on, the measuring tool is in “normal measuring mode”. To switch off the measuring tool, press the “On/Off” button 11. When no activity is performed on the measuring tool for approx. 5 minutes, the measuring tool automatically switches off to save the batteries. Aligning with the Spirit Levels The measuring tool can be aligned horizontally with spirit level 5 and verti- cally with spirit level 6. The measuring tool can also be used as a carpenter’s spirit level for check- ing vertical and horizontal lines. For this, place or hold the measuring tool against the surface subject to checking.

Measuring Angles (see figures C–E) Place the fold-out leg 1 and the base leg 3 flat on the surfaces adjacent to the angle. The displayed measuring value a corresponds with the interior angle w between the base leg and the fold-out leg. This measured value is shown on the display 4 until you change the angle between fold-out leg 1 and base leg 3. Transferring Angles (see figure C) Measure the angle to be transferred by appyling the base leg and the fold- out leg to the reference angle. Place the measuring tool in the desired position against the workpiece. Use the legs as a straight edge to transfer the angle. Ensure that the fold-out and base legs are not moved during transfer. Marking Angles (see figure D) Open the fold-out leg and the base leg until the required angle is indicated in the display a. Place the measuring tool in the desired position against the workpiece. Use the legs as a straight edge to transfer the angle. Storing the Measured Value (“Hold/Clear”) To store the current measured value (“Hold”), press the “Hold/Clear” memory button 9. The measured value is displayed until you press the “Hold/Clear” memory button 9 again, regardless of any movements of the base and fold-out legs. Measuring with Leg Extension (see figures F–H) The leg extension 2 makes it possible to measure angles when the contact surface is shorter than the fold-out leg 1. Mount the leg extension 2 (see “Mounting the Leg Extension”, page 25). Place the base leg 3 and the leg extension flat on the surfaces adjacent to the angle.

The required angle v between base leg and leg extension is cal- culated as follows: v =180°–w If you press the “180 °” button, the angle v (supplementary angle) you are looking for will be calculated and displayed. Measuring “Simple Mitres” “Simple mitre” measurement is used to calculate the cutting angle “MTR” when two workpieces with the same mitre have to form an outer angle x° smaller than 180° (e.g. for skirting boards, banister columns or picture frames). When workpieces are to be fitted into a corner (e.g. for floor trimmings), measure the corner angle x° by applying the fold-out leg and the base leg. For given angles (e.g. picture frames), open the fold-out leg and the base leg until the desired angle is indicated in the display.

For these mitre cuts, the saw blade is vertical to the work- piece (the bevel angle is 0°). MTR MTR
