• The chart shown below will assist you in selecting the proper bevel

and mitre settings for common compound mitre cuts. To use the chart,

select the desired angle “A” (ﬁ g. Q2) of your project and locate that

angle on the appropriate arc in the chart. From that point follow the

chart straight down to ﬁ nd the correct bevel angle and straight across

to ﬁ nd the correct mitre angle.

• Set your saw to the prescribed angles and make a few trial cuts.

• Practice ﬁ tting the cut pieces together.

• Example: To make a 4 sided box with 25° exterior angles (angle “A”)

(ﬁ g. Q2), use the upper right arc. Find 25° on the arc scale. Follow the

horizontal intersecting line to either side to get the mitre angle setting

on the saw (23°). Likewise follow the vertical intersecting line to the top

or bottom to get the bevel angle setting on the saw (40°). Always try

cuts on a few scrap pieces of wood to verify the settings on the saw.

Cutting base mouldings

The cutting of base moulding is performed at a 45° bevel angle.

• Always make a dry run without power before making any cuts.

• All cuts are made with the back of the moulding laying ﬂ at on the saw.

Cutting crown mouldings

The cutting of crown moulding is performed in a compound mitre. In

order to achieve extreme accuracy, your saw has pre-set angle positions

at 31.62° mitre and 33.85° bevel. These settings are for standard crown

mouldings with 52° angles at the top and 38° angles at the bottom.

• Make test cuts using scrap material before doing the ﬁ nal cuts.

• All cuts are made in a left bevel and with the back of the moulding

against the base.

Grooving (ﬁ g. R)

Your saw is equipped with a grooving stop (17) and thumbscrew (59) to

allow for groove cutting.

• Flip the grooving stop (17) towards the front of the saw.

• Adjust the thumbscrew (59) to set the depth of the groove cut. It might

be necessary to release the lock nut (60) ﬁ rst.

• Place a piece of scrap material of approx. 5 cm between fence and

workpiece in order to perform a straight groove cut.

Special Set-up for Wide Crosscuts (ﬁ g. A1, S1, S2)

Your saw can cut very wide (up to 391 mm) workpieces when a special

set up is used. To set the saw up for these workpieces, follow these steps:

• Remove both left and right sliding fences from the saw and set aside.

To remove them, unscrew the fence knobs several turns and slide each

fence outward. Adjust and lock the miter control so that it is at

0 degrees miter.

• Remove backfence screws (64) from right rear foot and install them into

the right hand fence (62) screw holes.

WARNING: Do not cut material using the special setup without

properly installing the backfence screws (64), otherwise the

material will not be supported properly and may cause loss of

control and possible injury.

• Make a platform using a piece of 38 mm thick particleboard or similar

ﬂ at strong 38 mm thick wood to the dimensions: 368 x 660 mm. The

platform must be ﬂ at otherwise the material could move during cutting

and cause injury.

• Mount the 368 x 660 mm platform to the saw using four 76.2 mm long

wood screws (64) through the holes in the base fence. Four screws

must be used to properly secure the material. When the special set up

is used, the platform will be cut into two pieces. Ensure the screws are

tightened properly otherwise material could loosen and cause injury.

Ensure the platform is ﬁ rmly ﬂ at on the table, against the fence, and

centered evenly from left to right.

WARNING: Ensure the saw is mounted ﬁ rmly to a stable ﬂ at

surface. Failure to do so could cause the saw to be unstable

and fall causing personal injury.

• Place the workpiece to be cut on top of the platform mounted to the

table. Ensure the workpiece is ﬁ rmly against the backfence.
