Inside corner 2. Outside corner► Fig.48: 1. Inside corner 2. Outside cornerMeasuringMeasure the wall width, and adjust the width of theworkpiece according to it. Always make sure that widthof the workpiece's wall contact edge is the same as walllength.► Fig.49: 1. Workpiece 2. Wall width 3. Width of theworkpiece 4. Wall contact edgeAlways use several pieces for test cuts to check thesaw angles.When cutting crown and cove moldings, set the bevelangle and miter angle as indicated in the table (A) andposition the moldings on the top surface of the sawbase as indicated in the table (B).In the case of left bevel cut► Fig.50: 1.

Vise 2. Spacer block 3. Guide fence4. Aluminum extrusion 5. Spacer blockWhen securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocksor pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to preventdeformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricantwhen cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-upof the aluminum material on the blade.CAUTION: Never attempt to cut thick or roundaluminum extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusionsmay come loose during operation and round alumi-num extrusions cannot be secured firmly with thistool.Wood facingWARNING: Use screws to attach the woodfacing to the guide fence. The screws should beinstalled so that the screw heads are below thesurface of the wood facing so that they will notinterfere with the positioning of the material beingcut. Misalignment of the material being cut can caseunexpected movement during the cutting operationwhich may result in a loss of control and seriouspersonal injury.CAUTION: Use the straight wood of eventhickness as the wood facing.Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cutsin workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fenceusing the holes in the guide fence.See the figure concerning the dimensions for a sug-gested wood facing.
