Bevel cut
WARNING: After setting the blade for a bevel
cut, before operating the tool ensure that the car-
riage and blade will have free travel throughout
the entire range of the intended cut. Interruption of
the carriage or blade travel during the cutting oper-
ation may result in kickback and serious personal
WARNING: 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
WARNING: The blade should not be raised
until it has come to a complete stop. During a
the blade. If the blade is raised while it is rotating the
the material to fragment which may result in serious
CAUTION: (Only for tools with sub-fence)
Always set the sub-fence outside when perform-
ing left bevel cuts.

1. Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the
secure the selected bevel angle safely.
2. Secure the workpiece with a vise.
3. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
4. Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
5. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion while applying pressure in parallel with the blade
and push the carriage toward the guide fence to cut
the workpiece.
6.
wait until the blade has come to a complete stop
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
NOTICE: When pressing down the handle, apply
pressure in parallel with the blade. If a force is
applied perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pres-
sure 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.
Miter angle Bevel angle
Left and Right 45° Left 0° - 45°
Right 50° Left 0° - 40°
Right 55° Left 0° - 30°
Right 57° Left 0° - 25°
When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press
cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut"
explanations.
Cutting crown and cove moldings
Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound
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.

workpiece according to it. Always make sure that width
of the workpiece's wall contact edge is the same as wall

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).
