TO SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES
Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports should be placed
along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support should let the
the cutting operation. Use the work clamp or C-clamp (not included)
to secure the workpiece.
TO CLAMP WIDE WORKPIECES
When cutting wide workpieces, boards should be clamped with the
work clamp or C-clamp (not included).
ROUGH CUTTING A DADO
Using a wood chisel and the depth guide, it is possible to make a
rough dado cut. The marks on the depth guide are to be used for
reference only. Always make a practice cut on scrap wood.
To use the depth guide:
Remove the battery pack from the product.
Rotate the depth stop outward. See figure 17.
With the depth control knob touching the depth stop, adjust the
depth control knob by turning the knob until the desired depth
of cut is attained.
A wooden spacer must be placed between the workpiece
and the fence to create a distance of 63.5 mm (2-1/2 inches)
between the workpiece and the fence for a consistent depth of
cut in the workpiece. Use the work clamp to clamp the spacer
and another suitable clamp to clamp the workpiece. Make the
slide cut at the desired depth.
Rotate the depth stop inward for normal through cuts.
NOTE: The depth stop must be pushed in before locking/
unlocking the saw arm.
To make the cut:
Unlock the sliding lock knob.
Raise the saw arm to its full height.
trigger (let blade reach maximum speed), pull the lower guard
lock out lever to right side to unlock the lower guard. Then, push
the saw blade down on top of the workpiece then back towards
the rear of the saw to make a cut.
Cut two outside grooves in the workpiece.
Using a wood chisel, remove the material between the two
outside grooves.
CUTTING CROWN MOLDING
The product does an excellent job of cutting crown molding. In
general, the products do a better job of cutting crown molding than
any other tool made.

LAYING MOLDING FLAT ON THE TURNING TABLE
To use this method for accurately cutting crown molding for a 90°
inside or outside corner, lay the molding with its broad back surface
When setting the bevel and mitre angles for compound mitres,
remember that the settings are interdependent; changing one angle
changes the other angle as well.
Keep in mind that the angles for crown moldings are very precise
your settings.
When cutting crown molding by this method the bevel angle should
be set at 33.9°. The bevel stop turret can be used to set the bevel
angle to 33.9°. The mitre angle should be set at 31.6° either right or
left, depending on the desired cut for the application. See the chart
below for correct angle settings and correct positioning of crown
molding on turning table.
The settings in the chart below can be used for cutting crown
molding with 52° and 38° angles or 45° and 45° angles. The crown
