22ejected by the blade causing the material to fragmentwhich may result in serious personal injury.NOTICE• 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 of thecut will be impaired.• Before bevel-cutting, an adjustment of the upper fenceand lower fence maybe required. Refer to the sectiontitled “Guide fence adjustment”.5. 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.009713When performing compound cutting, refer to “Presscutting”, “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 andone type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle crownmolding, 45° wall angle crown molding and 45° wallangle cove molding. See illustrations. (Fig. 47)There are crown and cove molding joints which aremade to fit “Inside” 90° corners ((1) and (2) in Fig. 48)and “Outside” 90° corners ((3) and (4) in Fig. 48).(Fig. 48 & 49)MeasuringMeasure the wall length and adjust workpiece on tableto cut wall contact edge to desired length. Alwaysmake sure that cut workpiece length at the back ofthe workpiece is the same as wall length. Adjust cutlength for angle of cut. Always use several pieces fortest cuts to check the saw 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 cutTable (A)006361Table (B)006362Example:In the case of cutting 52/38° type crown molding forposition (1) in Fig. 48:• Tilt and secure bevel angle setting to 33.9° LEFT.• Adjust and secure miter angle setting to 31.6°RIGHT.• Lay crown molding with its broad back (hidden)surface down on the turn base with its CEILINGCONTACT EDGE against the guide fence on thesaw.• The finished piece to be used will always be on theLEFT side of the blade after the cut has beenmade.In the case of right bevel cutTable (A)006363Table (B)006364Example:In the case of cutting 52/38° type crown molding forposition (1) in Fig. 48:• Tilt and secure bevel angle setting to 33.9° RIGHT.• Adjust and secure miter angle setting to 31.6°RIGHT.• Lay crown molding with its broad back (hidden)surface down on the turn base with its WALLCONTACT EDGE against the guide fence on thesaw.• The finished piece to be used will always be on theRIGHT side of the blade after the cut has beenmade.Crown molding stoppers (optional accessories) alloweasier cuts of crown molding without tilting the sawblade. Install them on the base as shown in thefigures.
