• During a bevel cut, it may create a condition whereby the
piece cut off will come to rest against the side of the
blade. If the blade is raised while the blade is still
rotating, this piece may be caught by the blade, causing
fragments to be scattered which is dangerous. The blade
should be raised ONLY after the blade has come to a
complete stop.
• When pressing the handle down, apply pressure parallel
to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to the blade
during a cut, the angle of the blade might be shifted and
the precision of the cut will be impaired.
• Always set the sub-fence to the left position when
performing left bevel cuts.
5. 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 angle shown in the table.
Left 0˚ - 47˚, Right 0˚ - 45˚
When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press cut-
ting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut"
explanations.
6. 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
001555
