Press cutting

►Fig.27: 1. Vertical vise

Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the tool

without the blade making any contact and wait until the

blade attains full speed before lowering. Then gently

lower the handle to the fully lowered position 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.

Miter cutting

Bevel cut

►Fig.28

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

angle(Refertothepreviouslycovered"Adjustingthe

bevelangle").Besuretoretightentheknobrmlyto

secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the

workpiece with a vise. 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. 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.

CAUTION: 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 rotating, this piece may

be caught by the blade, causing fragments to be scat-

tered which is dangerous. The blade should be raised

ONLY after the blade has come to a complete stop.

CAUTION: When pressing the handle down,

apply pressure parallel to the blade. If the pressure

is not parallel to the blade during a cut, the angle of

the blade might be shifted and the precision of the cut

will be impaired.

CAUTION: (Only for tools with sub-fence)

Always set the sub-fence outside when perform-

ing left bevel cuts.

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.

Bevel angle Miter angle

45° Left and Right 0° - 45°

When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press

cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut” explanations.

Cutting crown and cove moldings

Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound

molding, 45° wall angle crown molding and 45° wall

angle cove molding.

Measurethewallwidth,andadjustthewidthofthe

workpiece according to it. Always make sure that width

of the workpiece's wall contact edge is the same as wall

length.

workpiece 4. Wall contact edge

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).
