2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)
(Fig. 42 & 43)
Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise and also
push forward the lock lever so that the carriage can slide
freely. Secure the workpiece with the vise.
Pull the carriage toward you fully. Switch on the tool with-
out the blade making any contact and wait until the blade
attains full speed. Press down the handle and PUSH
THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE AND
THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is com-
pleted, 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:
• Whenever performing the slide cut, FIRST PULL THE
CARRIAGE TOWARD YOU FULLY and press down the
handle to the fully lowered position, then PUSH THE
CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE. NEVER
START THE CUT WITH THE CARRIAGE NOT FULLY
PULLED TOWARD YOU. If you perform the slide cut
without pulling the carriage fully or if you perform the
slide cut toward your direction, the blade may kickback
unexpectedly with the potential to cause serious PER-
SONAL INJURY.
• Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked in
the lowered position by pressing the stopper pin.
• Never loosen the knob which secures the carriage
while the blade is rotating. This may cause serious
injury.
3. Mitre cutting
Refer to the previously covered "Adjusting the miter
angle".
4. Bevel cut (Fig. 44)
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 work-
piece 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.
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 workpiece 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).

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 rotat-
ing, 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 down the handle, apply pressure in par-
allel 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.
• Before bevel-cutting, the adjustment of upper fence and
lower fence is required. Refer to the section titled
"Guide fence adjustment".
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
at angle shown in the table.
Miter angle
Left and Right 0° – 45°
When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press cut-
ting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut" expla-
nations.
6. 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. (Fig. 45)
There are crown and cove molding joints which are made
to fit "Inside" 90° corners ((1) and (2) in Fig. 46 & 47) and
"Outside" 90° corners ((3) and (4) in Fig. 46 & 47).
