Example:
In the case of cutting 52/38° type crown molding for
position (1) in Fig. 46 & 47:
• 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 blade after the cut has been made.
Cutting aluminum extrusion (Fig. 48)
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 blade.
CAUTION:
• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum
extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come
loose during operation and round aluminum extrusions
cannot be secured firmly with this tool.
Wood facing (Fig. 49)
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts in
workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence
using the holes in the guide fence.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a
suggested wood facing.
CAUTION:
• Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood
facing.
• Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide
fence. The screws should be installed so that the screw
heads are below the surface of the wood facing.
• When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the turn
base with the handle lowered. The blade and/or the
wood facing will be damaged.

Cutting repetitive lengths (Fig. 50)
CAUTION:
• For the tool equipped with the holders and the holder
assemblies as standard accessories, this type of use is
not permitted due to the country regulations.
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length,
ranging from 220 mm to 385 mm, use of the set plate
(optional accessory)
operation. Install the set plate on the holder (optional
accessory) as shown in the figure.
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either the
left or right side of the groove in the kerf board, and while
holding the workpiece from moving, move the set plate
flush against the end of the workpiece. Then secure the
set plate with the screw. When the set plate is not used,
loosen the screw and turn the set plate out of the way.
NOTE:
• Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional accessory)
allows cutting repetitive lengths up to 2,200 mm
approximately.
Groove cutting (Fig. 51)
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as follows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the
adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the cutting
depth of the blade. Refer to "Stopper arm" section
described on previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade, cut
parallel grooves across the width of the workpiece using
a slide (push) cut as shown in the figure. Then remove
the workpiece material between the grooves with a
chisel. Do not attempt to perform this type of cut using
wide (thick) blades or with a dado blade. Possible loss of
control and injury may result.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original
position when performing other than groove cutting.
