Cutting base mouldings
The cutting of base moulding is performed at a 45° bevel angle.
• Always make a dry run without power before making any cuts.
• All cuts are made with the back of the moulding laying flat on the saw.

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
31.62° mitre and 33.85° bevel. 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.

Grooving (fig. T)
Your saw is equipped with a grooving stop (12) and thumbscrew (15) to
allow for groove cutting.
• Flip the grooving stop (12) towards the front of the saw.
• Adjust the thumbscrew (15) to set the depth of the groove cut. It might
be necessary to release the lock nut (66) first.

SET THIS BEVEL ANGLE ON SAW
• Place a piece of scrap material of approx. 5 cm between fence and
workpiece in order to perform a straight groove cut.
Dust extraction (fig. A2 & A6)
This machine is provided with a dust extraction point (24) for connection of
a dust extraction kit (37) (available as an option).
• Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in
accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.
Cutting small pieces (fig. A5)
The fence insert (36) (available as an option) will increase the ease of
cutting small pieces.
Support for long pieces (fig. A4)
• Always support long pieces.
• For best results, use the extension work support (35) to extend the
table width of your saw (available from your dealer as an option).
Support long workpieces using any convenient means such as saw-
horses or similar devices to keep the ends from dropping.
Saw blades
To obtain the stated cutting capacities, always use 216 mm saw blades
with 30 mm arbor holes.
Applying special saw blades with increased number of teeth or increased
body thickness will decrease the number of cuts per battery charge.
Consult your dealer for further information on the appropriate accessories.
Transporting (fig. B2)
In order to conveniently carry the tool, a carrying strap can be attached to
the base. The carrying strap (see fig. A7) is available as an option.
• To transport the saw, lower the head and depress the lock down pin (14).
• Lock the rail lock knob with the saw head in the front position, lock the
mitre arm in the utter right mitre angle, slide the fence (3) completely
inward and lock the bevel lever (11) with the saw head in the vertical
position to make the tool as compact as possible.
• Always use the hand indentations (31) shown in fig. B2 to transport the saw.
