English term or phrase: W setter
As for translation of "W Setter", “W” means double. “Setter” sets offset for tools and work piece, etc.

Use of the term in the text is as follows:

MANUAL MEASUREMENT (W SETTER) MANUAL

W SETTER TOOL LENGTH CHECK FUNCTION INSTRUCTION MANUAL

w setter
Explanation:
"W SETTER TOOL LENGTH CHECK FUNCTION INSTRUCTION MANUAL" is a noun string, with several nouns modifying another. To sort them out, start with the last word ... Manual or "Instruction Manual".

It is the Instruction Manual for the "W Setter", which is something with a function that checks the length of a tool (the tool length check)

setter = something that sets (defines, locks in, adjusts, aligns) a working parameter, derived from the verb "to set"

Without seeing more text, I can't help more than this. But if the term is used in other places in the manual, just define it the first time, or put it in a glossary.
