Bevel Cut; Compound Cutting - Makita DLS714 Manuel D'instruction

Bevel cut

WARNING:
After setting the blade for a bevel
cut, before operating the tool ensure that the car-
riage and blade will have free travel throughout
the entire range of the intended cut. Interruption of
the carriage or blade travel during the cutting oper-
ation may result in kickback and serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
While making a bevel cut keep
hands out of the path of the blade. The angle of the
blade may confuse the operator as to the actual blade
path while cutting and contact with the blade will
result in serious personal injury
WARNING:
The blade should not be raised
until it has come to a complete stop. During a
bevel cut the piece cut off may come to rest against
the blade. If the blade is raised while it is rotating the
cut-off piece maybe ejected by the blade causing
the material to fragment which may result in serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
(Only for tools with sub-fence)
Always set the sub-fence outside when perform-
ing left bevel cuts.

► 1. Holder assembly
1.
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.
2. Secure the workpiece with a vise.
3. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
4.
Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
5. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion while applying pressure in parallel with the blade
and push the carriage toward the guide fence to cut
the workpiece.
6. 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.
NOTICE:
When pressing down the handle, apply
pressure in parallel with the blade. If a force is
applied perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pres-
sure direction is changed during a cut, the precision
of the cut will be impaired.

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 the angle shown in the table.
Miter angle
Left and Right 45°
Right 50°
Right 55°
Right 57°
When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press
cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut"
explanations.
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.

There are crown and cove molding joints which are
made to fit "Inside" 90° corners ((a) and (b) in the figure)
and "Outside" 90° corners ((c) and (d) in the figure.)
