Cutting Base Mouldings
The cutting of base moulding is performed at a 45° bevel angle.
• Always make a dry run without power before making any cuts.
• All cuts are made with the back of the moulding laying flat on the
saw.

Cutting Crown Mouldings
The cutting of crown moulding is performed in a compound mitre.
In order to achieve extreme accuracy, your saw has pre-set angle
positions at 31.62° mitre and 33.85° bevel. These settings are for
standard crown mouldings with 52° angles at the top and 38° angles
at the bottom.
• Make test cuts using scrap material before doing the final cuts.
• All cuts are made in a left bevel and with the back of the moulding
against the base.

GROOVING (FIG. T)
Your saw is equipped with a grooving stop (12) and grooving depth
adjustment knob (15) to allow for groove cutting.
• Flip the grooving stop (12) towards the front of the saw.
• Adjust the grooving depth adjustment knob (15) to set the depth of
the groove cut. It might be necessary to release the lock nut (66)
first.
• Place a piece of scrap material of approx. 5 cm between fence and
workpiece in order to perform a straight groove cut.
DUST EXTRACTION (FIG. A2 & A5)
This machine is provided with a dust extraction point (24) for connection
of a dust extraction kit (36) (available as an option).
• Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in
accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.
CUTTING SMALL PIECES (FIG. J1)
The upper part of the left side of the fence (3) can be adjusted to
provide maximum support when cutting small pieces.
• Put the saw blade into vertical position.
• Loosen the plastic knob (29) at least 3 full turns.
• Adjust the fence as close to the blade as possible.
• Tighten the knob securely.
SUPPORT FOR LONG PIECES (FIG. A4)
• Always support long pieces.
• For best results, use the extension work support (35) to extend the
table width of your saw (available from your dealer as an option).
Support long workpieces using any convenient means such as
saw-horses or similar devices to keep the ends from dropping.
SAW BLADES
To obtain the stated cutting capacities, always use 216 mm saw blades
with 30 mm arbor holes. Consult your dealer for further information on
the appropriate accessories.
TRANSPORTING (FIG. B2)
In order to conveniently carry the tool, a carrying strap can be attached
to the base. The carrying strap (see fig. A6) is available as an option.
• To transport the saw, lower the head and depress the lock down
pin (14).
• Lock the rail lock knob with the saw head in the front position, lock
the mitre arm in the right mitre angle, slide the fence (3) completely
inward and lock the bevel lever (11) with the saw head in the
vertical position to make the tool as compact as possible.
• Always use the hand indentations (30) shown in fig. B2 to transport
the saw.
