Example:
In the case of cutting 52/38° type crown molding for
position (a) in the above figure:
• Tilt and secure bevel angle setting to 33.9° RIGHT.
• Adjust and secure miter angle setting to 31.6° RIGHT.
• Lay crown molding with its broad back (hidden) sur-
face down on the turn base with its WALL CONTACT
EDGE against the guide fence on the saw.
• The finished piece to be used will always be on the
RIGHT side of the blade after the cut has been made.
Crown molding stopper

Optional accessory

Crown molding stoppers allow easier cuts of crown
molding without tilting the saw blade. Install them on the
turn base as shown in the figures.

Position crown molding with its WALL CONTACT EDGE
against the guide fence and its CEILING CONTACT
EDGE against the crown molding stoppers as shown in
the figure. Adjust the crown molding stoppers according
to the size of the crown molding. Tighten the screws to
secure the crown molding stoppers. Refer to the table
(C) for the miter angle.

Cutting aluminum extrusion
► Fig.63: 1. Vise 2. Spacer block 3. Guide fence
4. Aluminum extrusion 5. Spacer block
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks
or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to prevent
deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricant
when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-up
of the aluminum material on the circular saw blade.
WARNING:
round aluminum extrusions. Thick or round alumi-
num extrusions can be difficult to secure and the work
may loosen during the cutting operation which may
result in loss of control and serious personal injury.
Special max width cutting capacities
technique
The maximum cutting capacity of width can be achieved
by following the steps below:
For the maximum cutting width of this tool, refer
to the cutting capacities for special cuttings in the
SPECIFICATIONS section.
1.
Set the tool at 0° or 45° miter angle and make sure
that the turn base is locked. (Refer to the section for
miter angle adjustment.)
2. Remove both right and left upper fences temporar-
ily and set aside them.
3. Cut a platform to the dimensions indicated in the
figure using a 38 mm thick, flat stock material such as
wood, plywood or particle board.
► Fig.64: 1. 0° Miter angle: Over 450 mm 2. 45° Miter
angle: Over 325 mm 3. 38 mm 4. Over
760 mm
WARNING:
platform. Stock that is not flat may move during the
cutting operation which may result in kickback and
serious personal injury.
NOTE: The maximum cutting capacity in height will
be reduced by the same amount as the platform
thickness.
4.
Place the platform on the tool so that it extends
equally over each side of the tool base.
Secure the platform to the tool using four 6 mm wood
screws through four holes in the lower fences.
