Assembly

Inserting/replacing batteries (see figure A)

Bosch UniversalAngle Shop Messer-fig2
It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batteries to operate the measuring tool.

Press the locking mechanism (14) to open the battery compartment cover (15) and remove the battery compartment cover. Insert the non-re-chargeable batteries. When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is correct according to the illustration on the inside of the battery compart-ment.
When the battery low indicator (b) is shown in the display for the first time during operation, measurements can be made for only about 1–2 hours.
When the battery low indicator (b) flashes, the batteries or rechargeable batteries must be replaced. It is no longer possible to carry out measure-ments.
Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity.
Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a prolonged period of time. The batteries can corrode and self-dis-charge during prolonged storage in the measuring tool.

Attaching the Leg Extension (see figure B)

Slide the leg extension (2) from the front onto the fold-out leg (1). Push the leg extension as far as required over the joint of the measuring tool.

Operation

Starting Operation

Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight.
Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme temperatures or variations in temperature. For example, do not leave it in a car for ex-tended periods of time. In case of large variations in temperature, allow the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before putting it into operation. The precision of the measuring tool may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperatures or variations in temperature.
Keep the supporting surfaces and contact edges of the measuring tool clean. Protect the measuring tool against shock and impact. Dirt particles or deformations can lead to faulty measurements.

Switching On and Off
To switch on the measuring tool, press the on/off button (11).
After switching on, the measuring tool is in “normal measuring” operating 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 ver- tically with spirit level (6).
The measuring tool can also be used as a carpenter’s spirit level for checking vertical and horizontal lines. For this, place or hold the measuring tool against the surface subject to checking.

“Normal measuring” Operating Mode
After switching on, the measuring tool is always in “normal measuring” oper- ating mode.

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 measured 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).

Bosch UniversalAngle Shop Messer-fig4

Transferring Angles (see figure C)
Measure the angle to be transferred by placing the fold-out leg and base leg on the target angle.
Place the measuring tool in the required 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 measured value display (a).
Place the measuring tool in the required position against the workpiece. Use the legs as a straight edge to transfer the angle.

Storing the Measured Value
Press the Hold (9) button to store (HOLD) the current measured value (a).

The measured value is displayed, regardless of whether the base leg and fold- out leg are moved, until you press the Hold (9) button again.

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).
Attach the leg extension (2) (see “Attaching the Leg Extension (see figure B)”, page 25). Place the base leg (3) and the leg extension (2) flat on the surfaces adjacent to the angle.
The measured value of the angle w between base leg and fold-out leg is in- dicated in the display. The required angle v between base leg and leg exten- sion is calculated as follows: v = 180° – w
If you press the 180° (10) button, the required angle v (supplementary angle) will be calculated and displayed.

“Simple Mitre” Measurement

The “Simple mitre” measurement is used to calculate the cutting angle MTR when two workpieces with the same mitre have to form any outer angle x°smaller than 180° (e.g. for skirting boards, banister columns or picture frames).

Bosch UniversalAngle Shop Messer-fig11

When workpieces are to be fitted into a corner (e.g. for skirting boards), measure the corner angle **** by positioning 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 required angle is indicated in the display.

Bosch UniversalAngle Shop Messer-fig13

The mitre angle MTR, by which the two workpieces are to be shortened, is calculated. For these mitre/bevel cuts, the saw blade is perpendicular to the workpiece (the bevel angle is 0°).

Bosch UniversalAngle Shop Messer-fig14

Press the MTR (8) button. As long as you hold down the MTR (8) button, the calculated mitre angle MTR, which has to be set on the mitre saw, will be displayed. At the same time, the MTR indicator will light up in the display.

Note: The calculated mitre angle MTR can only be transferred for mitre saws, for which the setting for vertical cuts is 0°. When the setting for ver- tical cuts is 90°, the angle for the saw must be calculated as follows: 90° – displayed angle MTR = angle to be set for the saw.

“Compound Mitre” Measurement

The “Compound mitre” (“Compound MTR”) measurement is used to calcu-late mitre and bevel angles when two workpieces with multiple angles (e.g. crown mouldings) have to join precisely.
First measure the spring angle SPR and the corner angle CNR. The measur-ing tool will then calculate the mitre angle MTR and the bevel angle BVL.

Bosch UniversalAngle Shop Messer-fig15

Carry out the worksteps exactly in the given sequence.

SPR: Storing the spring angle

Bosch UniversalAngle Shop Messer-fig16

The spring angle can be saved as follows:

Open the fold-out leg and base leg until the required spring angle is shown on the display.
Measure the spring angle if it is unknown. For this, place the workpiece to be measured between the fold-out leg and the base leg.
When measuring particularly narrow or small workpieces with the meas-uring tool is not possible, use auxiliary equipment such as a bevel angle or mitre rule, and then adjust the angle on the measuring tool.
Press the COM (7) button to store the measured spring angle for the com-pound mitre. SPR and the current angle will appear on the display.

CNR: Storing the corner angle

Bosch UniversalAngle Shop Messer-fig17

To measure the corner angle, place the fold-out and base legs flat against the walls or set a known corner angle on the measuring tool.
Press the COM (7) button again to store the measured corner angle for the compound mitre. CNR and the current angle will appear on the display.

MTR: Calculating the mitre angle

Bosch UniversalAngle Shop Messer-fig18

Press the COM (7) button again. MTR and the calculated mitre angle for the mitre saw are indicated on the display. The mitre angle is used to define the rotation of the saw table (MTR).

BVL: Calculating the bevel angle

Bosch UniversalAngle Shop Messer-fig19

Press the COM (7) button again. BVL and the calculated bevel angle for the mitre saw are indicated on the display.
The bevel angle is used to define the incline of the saw blade (BVL).

Notes on “Compound Mitre” Operating Mode
The calculated mitre angle MTR can only be transferred for mitre saws, for which the setting for vertical cuts is 0°. When the setting for vertical cuts is

90°, the angle for the saw must be calculated as follows:
90° – displayed angle MTR = angle to be set for the saw.
