21 ENGLISHNOTICE: When pressing down the handle, applypressure in parallel with the blade. If a force isapplied perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pres-sure direction is changed during a cut, the precisionof the 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 angle Bevel angleLeft and Right 45° Left 0° - 45°Right 50° Left 0° - 40°Right 55° Left 0° - 30°Right 57° Left 0° - 25°When 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.► Fig.46: 1. 52/38° type crown molding 2. 45° typecrown molding 3. 45° type cove moldingThere are crown and cove molding joints which aremade to fit "Inside" 90° corners ((a) and (b) in the figure)and "Outside" 90° corners ((c) and (d) in the figure.)► Fig.47: 1. 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 this tool.
