Abstract

In a method for positioning a machine element having a first reference point the first reference point is provided at the machine element which has an operative portion. A second reference point is provided at an abutment. The machine element is moved relative to the second reference point. The machine element is coupled to a display device with first and a second display unit wherein on the first display unit a first display value for the distance between the operative portion and the second reference point is displayed and wherein on the second display unit a second display value for the distance between the first reference point and the operative portion is displayed. The first display value is a predetermined finishing distance when the second display value equals the actual distance between the first reference point and the operative portion.
