Compound Cutting - Makita DLS110 Instruction Manual

NOTICE:
When pressing down the handle, apply
pressure in parallel with the blade. If a force is
applied perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pres-
sure direction is changed during a cut, the precision
of the cut will be impaired.

1. Remove the upper fence on the side that you are
going to tilt the carriage.
2. Unlock the stopper pin.
3.
Adjust the bevel angle according to the procedure
explained in the section for bevel angle adjustment.
Then tighten the knob.
4. Secure the workpiece with a vise.
5. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
6. Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
7.
Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position
while applying pressure in parallel with the blade and push
the carriage toward the guide fence to cut the workpiece.
8. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the blade has come to a complete stop
before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.

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 crown and cove moldings
Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound
miter saw with the moldings laid flat on the turn base.
There are two common types of crown moldings and one type
of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle crown molding, 45° wall
angle crown molding and 45° wall angle cove molding.

There are crown and cove molding joints which are
made to fit "Inside" 90° corners ((a) and (b) in the figure)
and "Outside" 90° corners ((c) and (d) in the figure.)

Measuring
Measure the wall width, and adjust the width of the
workpiece according to it. Always make sure that width
of the workpiece's wall contact edge is the same as wall
length.

workpiece 4. Wall contact edge
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).
