Bevel Cut; Compound Cutting - Makita DLS713 Instruction Manual

Bevel cut

► 1 . Holder assembly
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel
angle (Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the
bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to
secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the
workpiece with a vise. Make sure the carriage is pulled
all the way back toward the operator. Switch on the
tool without the blade making any contact and wait
until the blade attains full speed. Then gently lower
the handle to the fully lowered position while applying
pressure in parallel with the blade and PUSH THE
CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT
THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is completed, switch
off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME
TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to
its fully elevated position.
WARNING:
• After setting the blade for a bevel cut, before
operating the tool ensure that the carriage
and blade will have free travel through-
out the entire range of the intended cut.
Interruption of the carriage or blade travel during
the cutting operation may result in kickback and
serious personal injury.
• 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
result in serious personal injury.
• The blade should not be raised until it has
come to a complete stop. During a bevel cut
the piece cut off may come to rest against the
blade. If the blade is raised while it is rotating
the cut-off piece maybe ejected by the blade
causing the material to fragment which may
result in serious personal injury.
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 pressure
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.

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
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. See illustrations.
