2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)

(Fig. 41 & 42)

Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise and also

push forward the lock lever so that the carriage can slide

freely. Secure the workpiece with the vise.

Pull the carriage toward you fully. Switch on the tool with-

out the blade making any contact and wait until the blade

attains full speed. Press down the handle and PUSH

THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE AND

THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is com-

pleted, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE

HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning

the blade to its fully elevated position.

CAUTION:

• Whenever performing the slide cut, FIRST PULL THE

CARRIAGE TOWARD YOU FULLY and press down the

handle to the fully lowered position, then PUSH THE

CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE. NEVER

START THE CUT WITH THE CARRIAGE NOT FULLY

PULLED TOWARD YOU. If you perform the slide cut

without pulling the carriage fully or if you perform the

slide cut toward your direction, the blade may kickback

unexpectedly with the potential to cause serious PER-

SONAL INJURY.

• Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked in

the lowered position by pressing the stopper pin.

• Never loosen the knob which secures the carriage

while the blade is rotating. This may cause serious

injury.

3. Mitre cutting

Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the miter

angle”.

4. Bevel cut (Fig. 43)

Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel

angle (Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the

bevel angle”). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to

secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the work-

piece with a vise. Make sure the carriage is pulled all the

way back toward the operator. Switch on the tool without

the blade making any contact and wait until the blade

attains full speed. Then gently lower the handle to the

fully lowered position while applying pressure in parallel

with the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD

THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE WORKPIECE. When

the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL

THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP

before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the blade will move down to bevel

direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out of path of

saw blade.

• During a bevel cut, it may create a condition whereby

the piece cut off will come to rest against the side of the

blade. If the blade is raised while the blade is still rotat-

ing, this piece may be caught by the blade, causing

fragments to be scattered which is dangerous. The

blade should be raised ONLY after the blade has come

to a complete stop.

• When pressing down the handle, apply pressure in par-

allel with the blade. If a force is applied perpendicularly

to the turn base or if the pressure direction is changed

during a cut, the precision of the cut will be impaired.

• Always slide or remove the upper fence so that it does

not interfere any part of the carriage when performing

bevel cuts.

5. Compound cutting

Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel angle

is made at the same time in which a miter angle is being

cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be performed

at angle shown in the table.

When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press cut-

ting”, “Slide cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut” expla-

nations.

6. Cutting crown and cove moldings

Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound

miter saw with the moldings laid flat on the turn base.

There are two common types of crown moldings and one

type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle crown molding,

45° wall angle crown molding and 45° wall angle cove

molding. See illustrations. (Fig. 44)

There are crown and cove molding joints which are made

to fit “Inside” 90° corners ((1) and (2) in Fig. 45 & 46) and

“Outside” 90° corners ((3) and (4) in Fig. 45 & 46).

Measuring

Measure the wall length and adjust workpiece on table to cut wall contact edge to desired length. Always make sure

that cut workpiece length at the back of the workpiece is the same as wall length. Adjust cut length for angle of cut.

Always use several pieces for test cuts to check the saw angles. When cutting crown and cove moldings, set the bevel

angle and miter angle as indicated in the table (A) and position the moldings on the top surface of the saw base as

indicated in the table (B).
