Having read the INSTRUCTIONS AND TECHNICAL SPECS and with the Product correctly assembled and fixed to a workbench. With the words MAGIC MITRE in the large black base and the workpiece holders facing you, ensure the LONGER of the two slots in the top red saw guide assembly is at the FRONT (TOWARDS YOU). You may find these TOP TIPS of some assistance.

SETTING THE PIVOTING WORKPIECE HOLDERS
Prior to setting check to ensure the red locking screw in both pivoting workpiece holders are unlocked and are free of all waste materials and dust that might interfere or restrict the adjustment and setting of both pivoting workpiece holders.

Locate one arm of the template onto the top of one of the pivoting workpiece holders, then by moving the red saw guide backwards or forward the pivoting workpiece holders will pivot. This will enable the other arm of the template to engage both of the upstanding pins of the other pivoting workpiece holder.

Before cutting any materials, you should always visually check to ensure you have set the Magic Mitre to the desired “internal“ or “external” angle setting. This is done by looking at the angle of the corner to which you are fitting the mouldings and, then looking at the angle at which you have set the Magic Mitre product.

For example, in fitting mouldings to an “internal” wall angle, the pivoting workpiece holders should also be set in the “internal mode”. See FIG 1.

When fitting mouldings to an “external” wall angle, the pivoting workpiece holders should be set in the “external” mode. See FIG 2.

THE TEMPLATE
Pivots one way only so that it may be used to copy the exact INTERNAL or EXTERNAL angle of the walls or doorframes etc. You must ensure the template knob is tightened so as to prevent any further movement in the template occurring after you have used it to copy the exact angle you require.

Remember the GOLDEN RULE: MEASURE TWICE - CHECK- AND CUT ONCE.
