CAUTION:
*During a bevel cutting,
it
may create a condition whereby the piece cut off will come
to rest against the side of the blade. If the blade
IS
raised while the blade is still rotat-
ing, this piece may be caught by the blade, causing fragments to be scattered around
which is dangerous. The blade should be raised ONLY after the blade has come to a
complete stop.
*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 pressure direction is changed during a
cut, the precision of the cut will be impaired

5. 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
a t
angle shown in the
table right.

At the miter angle of left 45" and bevel angle of left 45", workpieces 35 mm (1-3/8")
high and 127 mm
(5")
wide can be cut.
When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter
cutting" and "Bevel cutting" explanations.
6. Cutting crown and cover 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. See illustrations below.
