Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter
angle".
Bevel cut
► 1. Holder assembly
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel
angle (Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the
bevel angle"). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to
secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the
workpiece with a vise. Make sure the carriage is pulled
all the way back toward the operator. Switch on the
tool without the blade making any contact and wait
until the blade attains full speed. Then 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. 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.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the blade will move down to
bevel direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands
out of path of saw blade.
• During a bevel cut, 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 rotating, this piece
may be caught by the blade, causing fragments
to be scattered which is dangerous. The blade
should be raised ONLY after the blade has
come to a complete stop.
• When pressing the handle down, apply pressure
parallel to the blade. If the pressure is not par-
allel to the blade during a cut, the angle of the
blade might be shifted and the precision of the
cut will be impaired.
CAUTION:
(Only for tools with sub-fence)
Always set the sub-fence outside when perform-
ing left bevel cuts.

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 angle shown in the table.

When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press
cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut"
explanations.
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. See illustrations.
