• 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. 41)

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.

WARNING:

• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum

extrusions. Thick or round aluminum extrusions can

be difficult to secure and may work loose during the

cutting operation which may result in loss of control and

serious personal injury.

8. Wood facing

Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts

in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence

using the holes in the guide fence.

See the figure concerning the dimensions for a

suggested wood facing. (Fig. 42)

CAUTION:

• Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood

facing.

WARNING:

• Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide

fence. The screws should be installed so that the

screw heads are below the surface of the wood

facing so that they will not interfere with the

positioning of the material being cut. Misalignment

of the material being cut can case unexpected

movement during the cutting operation which may

result in a loss of control and serious personal injury.

NOTICE:

• When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the turn

base with the handle lowered. The blade and/or the

wood facing will be damaged.

9. Groove cutting (Fig. 43)

A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as

follows:

Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the

adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the cutting

depth of the blade. Refer to “Stopper arm” section

described previously.

After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade, cut

parallel grooves across the width of the workpiece

using a slide (push) cut as shown in the figure. Then

remove the workpiece material between the grooves

with a chisel.

WARNING:

• Do not attempt to perform this type of cut by using

a wider type blade or dado blade. Attempting to

make a groove cut with a wider blade or dado blade

could lead to unexpected cutting results and kickback

which may result in serious personal injury.

• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original

position when performing other than groove

cutting. Attempting to make cuts with the stopper arm

in the incorrect position could lead to unexpected

cutting results and kickback which may result in serious

personal injury.

CAUTION:

• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original

position when performing other than groove cutting.

Carrying tool (Fig. 44)

Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at

0° bevel angle and the turn base at the full right miter

angle position. Secure the slide poles so that the lower

slide pole is locked in the position of the carriage fully

pulled to operator and the upper poles are locked in the

position of the carriage fully pushed forward to the guide

fence (refer to the section titled “Slide lock adjustment”.)

Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position

by pushing in the stopper pin.

Wind the power supply cord using the cord rests.

WARNING:

• Stopper pin is only for carrying and storage

purposes and should never be used for any cutting

operations. The use of the stopper pin for cutting

operations may cause unexpected movement of the

saw blade resulting in kickback and serious personal

injury.

Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base as

shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag,

etc., you can carry the tool more easily.

CAUTION:

• Always secure all moving portions before carrying the

tool. If portions of the tool move or slide while being

carried loss of control or balance may occur resulting in

personal injury.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection

or maintenance. Failure to unplug and switch off the

tool may result in accidental start up of the tool which

may result in serious personal injury.

• Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean

for the best and safest performance. Attempting a

cut with a dull and /or dirty blade may cause kickback

and result in a serious personal injury.

NOTICE:

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Adjusting the cutting angle

This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,

but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If

your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:

1. Miter angle (Fig. 45)

Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten

the locking screw to secure the carriage.

Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the

turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter
