19• During a bevel cut, it may create a condition whereby thepiece cut off will come to rest against the side of theblade. If the blade is raised while the blade is stillrotating, this piece may be caught by the blade, causingfragments to be scattered which is dangerous. The bladeshould be raised ONLY after the blade has come to acomplete stop.• When pressing the handle down, apply pressure parallelto the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to the bladeduring a cut, the angle of the blade might be shifted andthe precision of the cut will be impaired.• Always set the sub-fence to the left position whenperforming left bevel cuts.5. Compound cuttingCompound cutting is the process in which a bevel angleis made at the same time in which a miter angle is beingcut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be performedat angle shown in the table.When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press cut-ting”, “Slide cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut”explanations.6. 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 and onetype of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle crown molding,45° wall angle crown molding and 45° wall angle covemolding.
