INSTALLING THE BLADE
(FIG. 35, 36, 37)
1. Unplug the saw from the outlet.
2. Raise the miter saw to the upright
position. Slide the cutting head
assembly completely toward the
rear of the unit and tighten the
sliding carriage lock knob.
3. Raise the lower blade guard (1) to
the uppermost position.
Changing Blades
WARNING! To avoid injury from
accidental starting, always turn the
switch off and remove the power
plug from the power source before
changing the blades. Use correctly
sharped saw blades. Observe the
maximum speed and tooth type
marked on the saw blade. Blade
replacement procedure including
the method for repositioning that
this must be carried out correctly.
Do not use a saw blade which is
not recommended in this owner’s
manual.
CROWN MOLDING CUT (FIG. 33, 34)
Your compound miter saw is suited
for the difcult task of cutting crown
molding. To t properly, crown molding
must be compound-mitered with
extreme accuracy. The two surfaces
on a piece of crown molding that t
at against the ceiling and wall are at
angles that, when added together,
equal exactly 90°.
Most crown molding has a top rear
angle (the section that ts at against
the ceiling) of 52°and a bottom rear
angle (the section that ts at against
the wall) of 38°.
In order to accurately cut crown
molding for a 90° inside or outside
corner, lay the molding with its broad
back surface at on the saw table.
When setting the bevel and miter
angles for compound miters, remember
that the settings are interdependent;
changing one changes the other, as
well.
