13CAUTION:• Always be sure that the blade will move down tobevel direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands outof path of saw blade.• During a bevel cut, it may create a conditionwhereby the piece cut off will come to rest againstthe side of the blade. If the blade is raised while theblade is still rotating, this piece may be caught bythe blade, causing fragments to be scattered whichis dangerous. The blade should be raised ONLYafter the blade has come to a complete stop.• When pressing the handle down, apply pressureparallel to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel tothe blade during a cut, the angle of the blade mightbe shifted and the precision of the cut will beimpaired.5. Compound cuttingCompound cutting is the process in which a bevelangle is made at the same time in which a miterangle is being cut on a workpiece. Compound cut-ting can be performed at angle shown in the table.When performing compound cutting, refer to “Presscutting”, “Slide cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevelcut” explanations.6. Cutting crown and cove moldingsCrown and cove moldings can be cut on a com-pound miter saw with the moldings laid flat on theturn base.There are two common types of crown moldingsand one type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall anglecrown molding, 45° wall angle crown molding and45° wall angle cove molding. See illustrations.There are crown and cove molding joints which aremade to fit “Inside” 90° corners ((1) and (2) in Fig.A) and “Outside” 90° corners ((3) and (4) in Fig. A).MeasuringMeasure the wall length and adjust workpiece ontable to cut wall contact edge to desired length.Always make sure that cut workpiece length at theback of the workpiece is the same as wall length.Adjust cut length for angle of cut. Always use sev-eral pieces for test cuts to check the saw angles.When cutting crown and cove moldings, set thebevel angle and miter angle as indicated in thetable (A) and position the moldings on the top sur-face of the saw base as indicated in the table (B).In the case of left bevel cut1. 52/38° typecrown molding2. 45° type crownmolding3. 45° type covemolding006393Miter angle Bevel angleLeft and Right 45˚ Left 0˚ - 45˚Right 50˚ Left 0˚ - 40˚Right 55˚ Left 0˚ - 30˚Right 57˚ Left 0˚ - 25˚52˚38˚45˚45˚45˚45˚1 2 30015551.
