NOTE

: This lever position is for left and right mitre cuts up to 45°

 

Ŷ

Push the saw head all the way toward the rear of the saw until the 
saw head stops and tighten the slide lock knob.

 

Ŷ

Perform a dry run prior to making any cut after repositioning the 
sliding mitre fences to ensure there is no interference.

 

Ŷ

To disengage the crown setting lever, unlock the slide lock knob, 
push the crown and baseboard setting lever in.

To position for vertical base molding:

 

Ŷ

Unplug the saw.

 

Ŷ

Loosen the slide lock knob and push the saw away from you and 
toward the rear of the saw.

 

Ŷ

Flip the crown and baseboard setting lever up while pulling the 
saw head toward the front of the saw until the baseboard lock 
groove engages.

NOTE

: This lever position is for cuts between 45° left and 45° 

right.

 

Ŷ

Tighten the slide lock knob securely.

 

Ŷ

Perform a dry run prior to making any cut after repositioning the 
sliding mitre fences to ensure there is no interference.

 

Ŷ

To disengage the baseboard setting lever, unlock the slide lock 
knob, push the crown and baseboard setting lever in.

CUTTING BASE MOLDING

See figure 40.

 

Ŷ

Set the mitre angle at 0° and the bevel angle at 45° to either the 
left or the right. (For making 90° corners.)

 

Ŷ

Place and secure the base molding flat against the fence using 
the work clamp and hold the base molding securely.

 

Ŷ

Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting 
operation to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut 
is made.

 

Ŷ

Grasp the saw handle firmly. Squeeze the switch trigger. Allow 
several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

 

Ŷ

Slowly lower the blade into and through the base molding.

CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL

See figures 41 - 42.

When cutting warped material, always make sure it is positioned on 
the mitre table with the convex side against the fence as shown in 
figure 41.

If the warped material is positioned the wrong way as shown in figure 
42, it will pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.

 

WARNING! 

To avoid kickback and to avoid serious personal 

injury, never position the concave edge of bowed or warped material 
against the fence.
