Example:
In the case of cutting 52/38° type crown molding for
position (a) in the above figure:
• Tilt and secure bevel angle setting to 33.9° RIGHT.
• Adjust and secure miter angle setting to 31.6°
RIGHT.
• Lay crown molding with its broad back (hidden)
surface down on the turn base with its WALL
CONTACT EDGE against the guide fence on the
saw.
• The finished piece to be used will always be on
the RIGHT side of the circular saw blade after the
cut has been made.
Cutting aluminum extrusion
► Fig.51: 1. Vise 2. Spacer block 3. Guide fence
4. Aluminum extrusion 5. Spacer block
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks
or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to prevent
deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricant
when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-up
of the aluminum material on the circular saw blade.
WARNING:
Never attempt to cut thick or
round aluminum extrusions. Thick or round alumi-
num extrusions can be difficult to secure and the work
may loosen during the cutting operation which may
result in loss of control and serious personal injury.

Groove cutting

WARNING:
type of cut by using a wider type blade or dado
blade. Attempting to make a groove cut with a wider
blade or dado blade could lead to unexpected cutting
results and kickback which may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
to the original position when performing other
than groove cutting. Attempting to make cuts with
the stopper arm in the incorrect position could lead to
unexpected cutting results and kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
For a dado type cut, perform as follows:
1. Adjust the lower limit position of the circular saw
blade using the adjusting screw and the stopper arm to
limit the cutting depth of the circular saw blade. Refer to
the section for stopper arm.
2. After adjusting the lower limit position of the circu-
lar saw blade, cut parallel grooves across the width of
the workpiece using a slide (push) cut.
► Fig.52: 1. Cut grooves with blade
3. Remove the workpiece material between the
grooves with a chisel.

Carrying tool

Before carrying the tool, be sure to remove the battery
cartridge and all movable parts of the miter saw are
secured. Always check the following:
• The battery cartridge is removed.
• The carriage is at 0° bevel angle position and
secured.
• The carriage is lowered and locked.
• The carriage is fully slid to the guide fences and
locked.
• The turn base is at the full right miter angle posi-
tion and secured.
• The sub bases are stored and secured.
Carry the tool by the handle or by holding both sides of
the tool base.

WARNING:
is for carrying and storage purposes only and not
for any cutting operations. The use of the stopper
pin for cutting operations may cause unexpected
movement of the circular saw blade resulting in kick-
back and serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Always secure all moving portions
before carrying the tool. If portions of the tool move
or slide while being carried, loss of control or balance
may occur and result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
Be sure that the carriage elevation
is properly locked at its bottom by the stopper
pin. If the stopper pin is not engaged properly, the
carriage may jump up suddenly and cause personal
injury.
