Outside Corner - DeWalt DW714 Instruction Manual

Fig. HH

WARNING: If the cutting angle varies from cut to cut,
check that the bevel clamp knob and the miter lock
knob are securely tightened. These knobs must be
tightened after making any changes in bevel or miter.
• Table 1 will assist you in selecting the proper bevel and
miter settings for common compound miter cuts. To
use the chart, select the desired angle "A" (Fig. HH) of
your project and locate that angle on the appropriate
arc in the chart. From that point follow the chart straight
down to find the correct bevel angle and straight across
to find the correct miter angle.
• Set your saw to the prescribed angles and make a few
trial cuts.
• Practice fitting the cut pieces together.
• Example: To make a 4 sided box with 25° exterior angles
(angle "A") (Fig. HH), use the upper right arc. Find 25°
on the arc scale. Follow the horizontal intersecting line
to either side to get the miter angle setting on the saw
(23°). Likewise follow the vertical intersecting line to the
top or bottom to get the bevel angle setting on the saw
(40°). Always try cuts on a few scrap pieces of wood to
verify the settings on the saw.
Cutting Base Mouldings
The cutting of base moulding is performed at a 45° bevel
angle.
• Always make a dry run without power before making
any cuts.
• All cuts are made with the back of the moulding laying
flat on the saw.

Special Cuts
• All cuts are made with the material secured to the
table and against the fence. Be sure to properly secure
workpiece.
Bowed Material (Fig. II, JJ)
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in
Figure II and never like that shown in Figure JJ. Positioning
the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade near
the completion of the cut.

Cutting Plastic Pipe or Other Round
Material
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut
just like wood/ aluminum and clamped or held firmly to
the fence to keep it from rolling. This is extremely important
when making angle cuts.
Cutting Large Material (Fig. KK)
Occasionally a piece of wood will be too large to fit beneath
the blade guard. A little extra height can be gained by
rolling the guard up out of the way, as shown in Figure KK.
Avoid doing this as much as possible, but if need be, the
saw will operate properly and make the bigger cut. NEVER
TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN WHEN
OPERATING THIS SAW.
