Cutting Base Moulding from 70 mm up to 150 mm High
Vertically Against the Fence (Fig. K, U)
NOTE: Use the slide lock lever
62
, shown in FigureK, when cutting base
moulding measuring from 70 mm to 150 mm high vertically against
thefence.
Position material as shown in FigureU.
All cuts should be made with the back of the moulding against the fence
and with the bottom of the moulding against thetable.

Cutting Crown Moulding (Fig. A1, V1, V2)
Your mitre saw is well suited to the task of cutting crown moulding. In
order to fit properly, crown moulding must be compound mitred with
extremeaccuracy.
Your mitre saw has special pre-set mitre latch points at 22.5°, 31.6° and
35.3° left and right for cutting crown moulding at the proper angle and
bevel stop pawls at 22.5° and 30° left and right. There is also a mark on
the bevel scale
10
at 33.9°. The chart below gives the proper settings for
cutting crownmoulding.
NOTE: Pretesting with scrap material is extremely important!
Instructions for Cutting Crown Moulding Laying Flat and
Using the Compound Features (Fig. V1)
1. Moulding should lay flat with the broad back surface down on the
sawtable
17
.
2. Place the top of the moulding against the fence

.

Alternative Method for Cutting Crown Moulding
Cutting crown moulding using this method does not require a bevel cut.
Minute changes in the mitre angle can be made without affecting the
bevel angle. When corners other than 90° are encountered, the saw can be
quickly and easily adjusted forthem.
Instructions for Cutting Crown Moulding Angled Between
the Fence and Base of the Saw for All Cuts (Fig. V2)
1. Angle the moulding so the bottom of the moulding (the part which
goes against the wall when installed) is against the fence
13
and the
top of the moulding is resting on the saw table
17
.
2. The angled “flats” on the back of the moulding must rest squarely on
the fence and sawtable.

Special Cuts

WARNING: Never make any cut unless the material is secured
on the table and against thefence.
Aluminum Cutting (Fig. W1, W2)
ALWAYS USE THE APPROPRIATE SAW BLADE MADE ESPECIALLY FOR
CUTTINGALUMINUM.
Certain workpieces may require the use of a clamp or fixture to prevent
movement during the cut. Position the material so that you will be cutting
the thinnest cross section, as shown in FigureW1. FigureW2 illustrates the
wrong way to cut theseextrusions.
Use a stick wax cutting lubricant when cutting aluminum. Apply the stick
wax directly to the saw blade
46
before cutting. Never apply stick wax to
a moving blade. The wax provides proper lubrication and keeps chips from
adhering to theblade.
Bowed Material (Fig. X1, X2)
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in FigureX1 and
never like that shown in FigureX2. Positioning the material incorrectly will
cause it to pinch theblade.
Cutting Plastic Pipe or Other Round Material
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut just like wood
and CLAMPED OR HELD FIRMLY TO THE FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM
ROLLING. This is extremely important when making anglecuts.
Cutting Large Material (Fig.Y)
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit
beneath the lower guard. If this occurs, place your right thumb on the
upper side of the guard
1
and roll the guard up just enough to clear the
workpiece, as shown in FigureY. 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.
MAINTENANCE
Your 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.

WARNING:To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
The charger and battery pack are notserviceable.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additionallubrication.
Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing with dry air
as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around the air vents. Wear
approved eye protection and approved dust mask when performing
thisprocedure.
