Compound Cutting - Makita LS1219 Instruction Manual

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 base boards
CAUTION:
Make sure to use the horizontal
vise (optional accessory) when cutting the base
board.
CAUTION:
When cutting the workpiece of the
thickness 20 mm or thinner, make sure to use a
spacer block to secure the workpiece.
When cutting the base board in 45° miter angle, engage
the stopper lever to prevent the blade case from con-
tacting the base board. This will keep the clearance
between the base board and the blade case when the
carriage is fully pushed forward.
Refer to the SPECIFICATIONS for base board cutting
capacity.
