Makita LS0714 Instruction Manual page 22

There are crown and cove molding joints which are
made to fit "Inside" 90° corners ((1) and (2) in Fig. A)
and "Outside" 90° corners ((3) and (4) in Fig. A).
Measuring
Measure the wall length and adjust workpiece on table
to cut wall contact edge to desired length. Always make
sure that cut workpiece length at the back of the work-
piece is the same as wall length. Adjust cut length for
angle of cut. Always use several pieces for test cuts to
check the saw angles.
When cutting crown and cove moldings, set the bevel
angle and miter angle as indicated in the table (A) and
position the moldings on the top surface of the saw
base as indicated in the table (B).

EXAMPLE In the case of cutting 52/38° type crown
molding for position (1) in Fig. A:
• Tilt and secure bevel angle setting to 33.9°
LEFT.
• 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 CEILING
CONTACT EDGE against the guide fence on
the saw.
• The finished piece to be used will always be
on the LEFT side of the blade after the cut has
been made.

Cutting aluminum extrusion
► Fig.48: 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 blade.
CAUTION:
• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum
extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may
come loose during operation and round alumi-
num extrusions cannot be secured firmly with
this tool.
Wood facing
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 sug-
gested wood facing.
