4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Measuring the Angle
- Place the Wolfcraft Bevel Plus Miter Box firmly into the corner you wish to measure.
- Adjust the two movable arms until they align perfectly with the walls of the corner.
- Tighten the locking screw to secure the measured angle. The tool automatically bisects the angle, setting the guide pins for a perfect miter cut.

4.2. Cutting the Skirting Board/Molding
- Once the angle is locked, place the skirting board or molding into the miter box channels. Ensure the piece is flush against the base and the side of the channel.
- Position your hand saw between the integrated guide pins. The pins will direct your saw blade at the precise angle required for a perfect miter joint.
- Carefully saw through the material. Maintain a steady hand and even pressure.

5. Maintenance
- After each use, clean the miter box to remove sawdust and debris. A dry cloth or brush is usually sufficient.
- Ensure the guide pins and locking screw are free from obstruction.
- Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent rust or damage to metal components.
- Periodically check all moving parts for smooth operation.
6. Troubleshooting
- Imprecise Cuts: Ensure the locking screw is fully tightened after measuring the angle. Verify that the skirting board is held firmly against the guides during cutting. Use a sharp saw.
- Difficulty Adjusting Angle: Check for any debris or sawdust obstructing the movable arms. Clean thoroughly if necessary.
- Saw Blade Sticking: Ensure the saw blade is thin enough to fit between the guide pins without excessive friction.
