Cutting Crown Mouldings
The cutting of crown moulding is performed in a compound
mitre.
In order to achieve extreme accuracy, your saw has
pre-set angle positions at 31.6° mitre and there is also a
mark on the Bevel scale at 33.9° . These settings are for
standard crown mouldings with 52° angles at the top and
38° angles at the bottom.
♦ Make test cuts using scrap material before doing the
final cuts.
♦ All cuts are made in a left bevel and with the back of
the moulding against the base.

Special Cuts
♦ All cuts are made with the material secured to the
24
table and against the fence. Be sure to properly secure
workpiece.
Bowed Material (Fig. 36, 37)
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown
in Figure 35 and never like that shown in Figure 36.
Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch
the blade near the completion of the cut.
Cutting Plastic Pipe or Other Round Material
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be
cut just like wood/ aluminum and clamped or held firmly
to the fence to keep it from rolling. This is extremely
important when making angle cuts.
Cutting Large Material
Occasionally a piece of wood will be too large to fit beneath
the blade guard. A little extra height can be gained by
rolling the guard up out of the way, as shown in Figure 37.
Avoid doing this as much as possible, but if need be, the
saw will operate properly and make the bigger cut. NEVER
TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN
WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.
Dust Extraction (Fig. 2, 3)
Fit the dustbag (ff) onto the dust spout (n).
WARNING: Whenever possible, connect a dust
extraction device designed in accordance with
the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.
Connect a dust collection device designed in
accordance with the relevant regulations. The air velocity
of externally connected systems shall be 20 m/s ±2 m/s.
Velocity to be measured in the connection tube at the point
of connection, with the tool connected but not running.
Transporting (Fig. 2, 6)
In order to conveniently carry the mitre saw, a carrying
handle (m) has been included on the top of the saw arm.
♦ To transport the saw, lower the head and depress the
lock down pin (o).
♦ Always use the carrying handle (m) or the hand
indentations (r) to transport the saw.
MAINTENANCE
Your STANLEY power tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper
tool care and regular cleaning.
♦ Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using
a soft brush or dry cloth.
♦ Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth.
Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.This
machine is not user-serviceable. If problems occur
contact an authorised repair agent.
Lubrication
Closed-type, grease-sealed ball bearings are used
throughout. These bearings have sufficient lubrication
packed in them at the factory to last the life of the mitre
saw.
