17 ENGLISHBevel cut1► 1. Holder assemblyLoosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevelangle (Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting thebevel angle"). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly tosecure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure theworkpiece with a vise. Make sure the carriage is pulledall the way back toward the operator. Switch on thetool without the blade making any contact and waituntil the blade attains full speed. Then gently lowerthe handle to the fully lowered position while applyingpressure in parallel with the blade and PUSH THECARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUTTHE WORKPIECE. When the cut is completed, switchoff the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COMETO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade toits fully elevated position.WARNING:• After setting the blade for a bevel cut, beforeoperating the tool ensure that the carriageand blade will have free travel through-out the entire range of the intended cut.Interruption of the carriage or blade travel duringthe cutting operation may result in kickback andserious personal injury.• While making a bevel cut keep hands out ofthe path of the blade. The angle of the blademay confuse the operator as to the actual bladepath while cutting and contact with the blade willresult in serious personal injury.• The blade should not be raised until it hascome to a complete stop. During a bevel cutthe piece cut off may come to rest against theblade. If the blade is raised while it is rotatingthe cut-off piece maybe ejected by the bladecausing the material to fragment which mayresult in serious personal injury.NOTICE:• When pressing down the handle, apply pressurein parallel with the blade. If a force is appliedperpendicularly to the turn base or if the pressuredirection is changed during a cut, the precision ofthe cut will be impaired.Compound cuttingCompound cutting is the process in which a bevelangle is made at the same time in which a miter angleis being cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can beperformed at the angle shown in the table.Miter angleLeft and Right 45Right 50Right 55Right 57Bevel angleLeft 0 - 45Left 0 - 40Left 0 - 30Left 0 - 25When performing compound cutting, refer to "Presscutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut"explanations.Cutting crown and cove moldingsCrown and cove moldings can be cut on a compoundmiter saw with the moldings laid flat on the turn base.There are two common types of crown moldings andone type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle crownmolding, 45° wall angle crown molding and 45° wallangle cove molding.
