The TAT60 protractor uses a split scale which shows both angle degrees and pitch to indicate the same measurement regardless of a left or right saw boom position. As seen below, the red arrows represents a 45° cut, which is equal to a 12/12 pitch, while the yellow represent a 3/12 pitch. To setup, simply rotate saw boom until the indicator mark on the side of the base aligns with the desired angle then firmly lock saw boom. Note: Always check the mark to ensure correct measurement.
Many roofing & siding profiles today feature 3/12 and even 2/12 pitch designs. These shallow measurements are uniquely capable on your TAT60 when using either an 8 inch double-lap panel for 2/12, or 12 inch double-lap for 3/12 pitch. Wherever possible, always fit your first cut to check for accuracy. Extend saw the full length of the panel while cutting.
 
The above diagram shows how conveniently your TAT60 breaks down for transportation and storage. Always transport tool and components on a level surface and ensure parts will not fall from vehicle while driving. Use Spring Screws to firmly lock extensions and top decks in place. The saw boom and wings can be tied off in the position seen above. Do not attempt to carry your TAT60 in this way. Use 2 people or carry the saw boom and wings with one hand (see inset) and the main tool with the other using the carrying handle provided.
