14the blade to its fully elevated position.WARNING:• After setting the blade for a bevel cut, beforeoperating the tool ensure that the carriage andblade will have free travel throughout the entirerange of the intended cut. Interruption of thecarriage or blade travel during the cutting operationmay result in kickback and serious personal injury.• While making a bevel cut keep hands out of thepath of the blade. The angle of the blade mayconfuse the operator as to the actual blade pathwhile cutting and contact with the blade will result inserious personal injury.• The blade should not be raised until it hascome to a complete stop. During a bevel cut thepiece cut off may come to rest against the blade. Ifthe blade is raised while it is rotating the cut-offpiece maybe ejected by the blade causing thematerial to fragment which may result in seriouspersonal 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 ofthe cut will be impaired.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 the angle shown in thetable.Miter angleLeft and Right 45Right 50Right 55Right 57Bevel angleLeft 0 - 45Left 0 - 40Left 0 - 30Left 0 - 25006393When 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 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.1 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 use severalpieces for test cuts to check the saw angles.When cutting crown and cove moldings, set thebevel angle and miter angle as indicated in the table(A) and position the moldings on the top surface ofthe 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.
