Operating Instructions
1. Absolute Measurement Mode (ABS)
When powered on, the device defaults to Absolute Measurement Mode. In this mode, the display shows the angle relative to a true horizontal surface (0°). Place the angle finder on a flat, level surface to establish the 0° reference.
2. Relative Measurement Mode (ZERO)
To measure the angle difference between two surfaces, use the Relative Measurement Mode:
- Place the angle finder on the first surface.
- Press the ZERO button briefly. The display will show 0.00°, indicating this surface is now the reference point.
- Move the angle finder to the second surface. The display will show the angle difference relative to the first surface.

3. Unit Switching (Degrees / Percentage)
Press the HOLD/TILT% button briefly to switch the measurement unit between degrees (°) and percentage (%).
4. Data Hold Function
To hold the current measurement on the display, press and hold the HOLD/TILT% button until "HOLD" appears on the screen. Press it again to release the hold function.
5. Magnetic Base Usage
The strong magnetic base allows the angle finder to attach securely to ferrous metal surfaces, such as saw blades, metal pipes, or machinery. This enables hands-free measurement and ensures stability.

6. Error Display
If the device is tilted excessively (e.g., forward or backward beyond 30° from its initial orientation), an "Err" message may be displayed. This indicates that the measurement is outside the optimal operating range or that the device needs to be repositioned for a stable reading.

7. Applications
The XUNTOP Digital Angle Finder is suitable for various tasks:
- Setting precise miter and bevel angles on table saws, miter saws, and band saws.
- Checking and adjusting angles for woodworking joints and furniture assembly.
- Measuring slopes and inclines in construction projects.
- Calibrating machinery and equipment in manufacturing.

Calibration
The XUNTOP Digital Angle Finder is factory-calibrated for accuracy. If you suspect the device requires re-calibration due to significant impact or prolonged use, please refer to the manufacturer's official support channels for guidance. User-level calibration steps are not provided in this manual.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the angle finder in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
- Protection: Avoid dropping the device or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this may affect its accuracy.
Troubleshooting
- Device does not power on: Check if the batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. Replace batteries if necessary.
- "Err" displayed: This indicates the device is tilted beyond its stable measurement range or has experienced a sudden movement. Reposition the device on a stable surface and try again.
- Inaccurate readings: Ensure the measurement surface is clean and free of debris. If issues persist, consider contacting customer support for potential re-calibration.
