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. S)

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. T1 & T2)

Your saw can cut very wide (up to 406 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.

• 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 (61) 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 firmly to a stable flat

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 (62).

• Secure the material before cutting. Cut slowly through the material

using a out-down-and-back motion. Failure to clamp securely or cut

slowly could result in the material coming loose and causing injury.

After several cuts are made at various miter angles other than 0º, the

platform may weaken and not properly support the work. Install a new,

unused platform to the saw after presetting the desired miter angle.

WARNING: Continued use of a platform with several kerfs may

cause loss of material control and possible injury.

Dust extraction (ﬁ g. A2 & A3)

• Fit the dustbag (26) onto the dust spout (18).

• Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in

accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.

Saw blades

To obtain the stated cutting capacities, always use 305 mm saw blades

with 30 mm arbor holes.

Cutting non-ferrous metals

When cutting non-ferrous metals, the machine is only to be used in the

mitre saw mode. We recommend that bevel and compound mitre cuts

should not be performed in non-ferrous metals. The machine is not to be

used for cutting ferrous metals.

• Always use a material clamp when cutting non-ferrous metals.

Make sure that the workpiece is clamped securely.

• Only apply saw blades that are qualiﬁ ed for cutting non-ferrous metals.

• When using lubricants, only apply wax or separation spray. Do not use

emulsions or similar ﬂ uids.

• Connect an FI or DI switch between machine and mains to avoid

residual risks caused by metal swarf.

The FI switch should comply with the following speciﬁ cations:

rated voltage 230 V

rated current 16 A

reaction time < 15 ms

fusing current 30 mA

The DI switch should comply with the following speciﬁ cations:

DIN VDE 0661

rated voltage 230 V

rated current 16 A

fusing current 30 mA

all-pole cutoff L+N+PE

PE monitoring

low-voltage release

Transporting (ﬁ g. A1, A2 & B)

In order to conveniently carry the mitre saw, a carrying handle (10) has

been included on the top of the saw arm.

• To transport the saw, lower the head and depress the lock down pin (22).

• Lock the rail lock knob with the saw head in the front position, lock the

mitre arm in the full left mitre angle, slide the fence (3 & 8) completely

inward and lock the bevel lever (20) with the saw head in the vertical

position to make the tool as compact as possible.

• Always use the carrying handle (10) or the hand indentations (24)

shown in ﬁ g. B to transport the saw.
