Compound Cutting - Makita LS002G Instruction Manual

7. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion while applying pressure in parallel with the circular
saw blade and push the carriage toward the guide
fences to cut the workpiece.
8. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and wait until
the circular saw blade has come to a complete stop before
returning the circular saw blade to its fully elevated position.

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.
Miter angle
Left and Right 0° - 45°
When performing compound cutting, refer to the section for
press cutting, slide (push) cutting, miter cutting, and bevel cut.
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.

made to fit "Inside" 90° corners ((a) and (b) in the figure)
and "Outside" 90° corners ((c) and (d) in the figure.)

Measuring
Measure the wall width, and adjust the width of the
workpiece according to it. Always make sure that width
of the workpiece's wall contact edge is the same as wall
length.

workpiece 4. Wall contact edge
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).
