15the blade to its fully elevated position.CAUTION:• 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 down the handle, apply pressure inparallel 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.• Always set the sub-fence to the left position whenperforming left bevel cuts.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. Compoundcutting can be performed at angle shown in thetable.Miter angle Bevel angleRight 52Left 0 - 47 , Right 0 - 45 Left and Right 0 - 45Left 0 - 40 and Right 0 - 45006360When performing compound cutting, refer to"Press cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and"Bevel cut" explanations.6. Cutting crown and cove moldingsCrown and cove moldings can be cut on acompound miter saw with the moldings laid flat onthe turn 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.5238454545451 2 3001555There 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).(1) (2) (3) (4)1 2Fig.A0015562(1)(2)(1)(2)(2)(1)(2)(1)(1)(2)(3)(4)1001557MeasuringMeasure 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 useseveral pieces for test cuts to check the sawangles.When cutting crown and cove moldings, set thebevel angle and miter angle as indicated in thetable (A) and position the moldings on the topsurface of the saw base as indicated in the table(B).In the case of left bevel cutMoldingposition inFig. ABevel angle Miter angleFor outsidecornerFor insidecorner52/38° type 45° typeRight 31.6°45° typeLeft 33.9° Left 30°52/38° typeLeft 31.6° Left 35.3°Right 35.3°Right 35.3°Right 31.6°(1)(2)(3)(4)Table (A)0063611.
