Compound Cutting - Makita DLS713 Instruction Manual

range of the intended cut. Interruption of the
carriage or blade travel during the cutting operation
may result in kickback and serious personal injury.
While making a bevel cut keep hands out of the
•
path of the blade. The angle of the blade may
confuse the operator as to the actual blade path
while cutting and contact with the blade will result
in serious personal injury.
The blade should not be raised until it has come
•
to a complete stop. During a bevel cut the piece cut
off may come to rest against the blade. If the blade
is raised while it is rotating the cut-off piece maybe
ejected by the blade causing the material to fragment
which may result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
When pressing down the handle, apply pressure in
•
parallel with the blade.
perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pressure
direction is changed during a cut, the precision of
the cut will be impaired.

Compound cutting

Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel angle
is made at the same time in which a miter angle is being
cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be
performed at the angle shown in the table.

When performing compound cutting, refer to
"Press cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and
"Bevel cut" explanations.
6. Cutting crown and cove moldings
Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound
miter saw with the moldings laid flat on the turn base.
There are two common types of crown moldings
and one type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle
crown molding, 45° wall angle crown molding and
45° wall angle cove molding. See illustrations.

There are crown and cove molding joints which are
made to fit "Inside" 90° corners ((1) and (2) in Fig.
A) and "Outside" 90° corners ((3) and (4) in Fig. A).

Measuring
Measure the wall length and adjust workpiece on
table to cut wall contact edge to desired length.
Always make sure that cut workpiece length at the
back of the workpiece is the same as wall length.
Adjust cut length for angle of cut. Always use
several pieces for test cuts to check the saw
angles.
When cutting crown and cove moldings, set the bevel
angle and miter angle as indicated in the table (A) and
position the moldings on the top surface of the saw
base as indicated in the table (B).
