11. Compound cutting procedures
Compound cutting can be performed by following the instructions in 10 and 11 above. For
maximum dimensions for compound cutting, refer to "SPECIFICATIONS" table on page 57.
CAUTION
Always secure the workpiece with the right or left hand and cut it by sliding the
round portion of the saw backwards with the left hand.
It is very dangerous to rotate the turntable to the left during compound cutting
because the saw blade may come into contact with the hand that is securing the
workpiece.
In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by left bevel, turn the sub-fence (B)
counterclockwise, and engage in the cutting operation.
In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by right bevel, turn the sub-fence (A)
clockwise, and engage in the cutting operation.
12. Crown molding cutting procedures
Fig. 39 shows two common crown molding types
having angles of (q) 38° and 45°.
For the typical crown molding fi ttings, see Fig. 40.
The table below shows the miter angle and the
bevel angle settings that are ideal for the two
crown molding types.
NOTE
For convenience, positive stops are provided
for the miter setting (left and right 31.6°)
positions.
For miter cut setting
If the turntable has been set to either of
the angles described, move the turntable
adjusting side handle a little to the right and
left to stabilize the position and to properly
align the miter angle scale and the tip of the
indicator before the operation starts.
For bevel cut setting
Turn the clamp lever on bevel section to the left and check that the position is stable and
that the bevel angle scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned. Then tighten the
clamp lever.
