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 sev-
eral 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 sur-
face of the saw base as indicated in the table (B).

EXAMPLE In the case of cutting 52/38° type crown
molding for position (1) in Fig. A:
• 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 CEILING
CONTACT EDGE against the guide fence on the saw.
• The finished piece to be used will always be
on the LEFT side of the blade after the cut has
been made.

7. Cutting aluminum extrusion
► Fig.41: 1. Guide fence 2. Vise 3. Spacer block
4. Aluminum extrusion 5. Spacer block
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer
blocks or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to
prevent deformation of the aluminum. Use a cut-
ting lubricant when cutting the aluminum extrusion
to prevent build-up of the aluminum material on
the blade.
WARNING:
• Never attempt to cut thick or round alumi-
num extrusions. Thick or round aluminum
extrusions can be difficult to secure and may
work loose during the cutting operation which
may result in loss of control and serious per-
sonal injury.
8. Wood facing
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free
cuts in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the
guide fence using the holes in the guide fence.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a
suggested wood facing.

CAUTION:
• Use straight wood of even thickness as the
wood facing.
WARNING:
Use screws to attach the wood facing to the
•
guide fence. The screws should be installed
so that the screw heads are below the sur-
face of the wood facing so that they will not
interfere with the positioning of the material
being cut. Misalignment of the material being
cut can case unexpected movement during the
cutting operation which may result in a loss of
control and serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
• When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the
turn base with the handle lowered. The blade and/
or the wood facing will be damaged.
