while cutting may cause unexpected kickback resulting

in possible in serious personal injury.

3. Miter cutting

Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the miter

angle”.

4. Bevel cut (Fig. 39)

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

workpiece 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.

WARNING:

• After setting the blade for a bevel cut, before

operating the tool ensure that the carriage and

blade will have free travel throughout the entire

range of the intended cut. Interruption of the carriage

or blade travel during the cutting operation may result

in kickback and serious personal injury.

• While making a bevel cut keep hands out of the

path of the blade. The angle of the blade may confuse

the operator as to the actual blade path while cutting

and contact with the blade will result in serious

personal injury.

• The blade should not be raised until it has come to

a complete stop. During a bevel cut the piece cut off

may come to rest against the blade. If the blade is

raised while it is rotating the cut-off piece maybe

ejected by the blade causing the material to fragment

which may result in serious personal injury.

NOTICE:

• When pressing down the handle, apply pressure in

parallel 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.

• Before bevel-cutting, an adjustment of the upper fence

and lower fence maybe required. Refer to the section

titled “Guide fence adjustment”.

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 the angle shown in the table.

When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press

cutting”, “Slide cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut”

explanations.

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. 40)

There are crown and cove molding joints which are

made to fit “Inside” 90° corners ((1) and (2) in Fig. A)

and “Outside” 90° corners ((3) and (4) in Fig. A).

(Fig. 41 & 42)

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).

In the case of left bevel cut

Table (A)

Table (B)

Example:

In the case of cutting 52/38° type crown molding for

position (1) in Fig. A:

• Tilt and secure bevel angle setting to 33.9° LEFT.

• Adjust and secure miter angle setting to 31.6°

RIGHT.

• Lay crown molding with its broad back (hidden)

surface down on the turn base with its CEILING

CONTACT EDGE against the guide fence on the

saw.

• The finished piece to be used will always be on the

LEFT side of the blade after the cut has been

made.

7. Cutting aluminum extrusion (Fig. 43 & 44)

When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer

blocks or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to

prevent deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting

lubricant when cutting the aluminum extrusion to

prevent build-up of the aluminum material on the

blade.
