the circumference of round stock.

● Quick, direct reading of angle.

● Measure any angle from horizontal or vertical position.
● Carbide tipped Center Punch.

● Magnetic legs for hands free operation.

● Use for machining, welding, and affixing instrumentation tobars and pipes.

■SPECIFICATIONS● Measuring Range : 0~360°● Graduations : 1°

● Accuracy : Less Than 1°● Operating Temp. Range : 0~40°
C● V-Base Diameter Range : 䃥20~100mm■OPERATION
１ As a Level①Attach LevelPoint to surface to be measured using the legs or a reference
surface. Can be used horizontally, or vertically. (Figure:1)②Adjust slope, using the 0°and 90°markers for guidance.
● Use for setting angle when positioning items such as piping, conduit, support
structures, and control panels.

0°…Horizontal

90°…Vertical

２ Angle Measurement

90°…Horizontal● Place the LevelPoint legs onto the surface to be measured, and the Pointer will

indicate the slope.

３ Setting the Angle of a Component①Place the LevelPoint legs onto the surface of you want to align.
②Adjust to desired angle using the Pointer as reference. (Figure:2)● For Iron and Steel parts, the magnetic legs will hold to the surface allowing bothhands free for work.
● Useful for setting angle of parts when plumbing, welding, grinding, mounting
glass, etc.

４ Marking the Angle On a Cylinder①Secure the bar or cylinder to be marked in a horizontal position.
②Place the levelPoint onto the cylinder, and adjust the until the Pointer indicatesthe desired angle.
③The tip of the Center Punch will point to the angle along the cylinder surface.
(Figure:3) (Figure:4)

CAUTION ・When marking a point, gently tap the center punch with ahammer. Strong blow to center punch may damage internalmechanism and affect accuracy.
・Never use center punch to drill or punch through surface.
● In this way, it is easy to mark a point at any angle.
● Ideal for drilling, milling, riveting and welding operations.

● Do not loosen screws or attempt to disassemble.

● To mark surface, gently tap Center Punch. Never strike punch with strong force.

● Holding power of magnet will vary depending on workpiece. Test for sufficient holding force before

use to insure instrument does not fall.

● Keep away from precision instruments, watches, etc. and any devices that can be damaged bymagnet.

● Do not use or store in places subject to direct sunlight, extreme temperate fluctuations, highhumidity, or high levels of dust. Also, Keep away from water and oil. Keep out of reach of children.
● After use, wipe with soft cloth to remove any dust or debris and return to storage case.
● Use only as directed. Improper use may cause accident or injury.
