1. Loosen the bevel locking knob (A) Fig.10.
2. Position the saw head to the desired position. Tighten the bevel locking knob.
3. Turn the table rotation handle to release the table and turn the table to the desired angle. Tighten the table rotation han-
dle to secure the saw table.
4. Position yourself in alignment with the handle to make the
cut.
13. SKIRTING BOARD CUTS
Skirting boards may be cut using a mitre saw. The
method used depends on the skirting board, its characteristics
and uses.
1. Use fastening vices, clamps or hand screws
whenever possible. Place a strip of protective tape on the
surface to tighten to avoid damaging the surface of the
skirting board.
2. Locate the part of the skirting board to cut in order to avoid
projections and draw a cutting line on the piece to be cut.
3. Make several test cuts on scrap before you make
the final cut.
NOTE: splintering may be due to the thickness of the
skirting board or the improper choice of blade type.
14. CORNICE AND MOULDING CUTS
One of the unique characteristics of the saw is the ease with
which you can cut cornices.
Cornices must be cut with extreme accuracy.
Both surfaces of the cornice must adapt to a wall or
ceiling, and vice versa.
The following is an example of cutting inside and outside
corners on cornices with wall angles of 52/38° (Fig.21).
Please note: When cutting wall angle cornices of 45°,
the following method is the same for inside and
outside corners, except that the bevel position remains
30 degrees at all times and the mitre position is 35-1/4° to
the right or left.
1. Adjust the table for a mitre angle of 31.62° to the
right. A positive stop is provided to quickly set the table for this
angle. Tilt the saw blade at a bevel angle
of 33.9°.
2. Place the cornice on the saw table, with the ceiling side of the
cornice against the guide, and make the cut. It should be noted
that a clamp must be used to hold the piece to be cut firmly
against the table. The piece of cornice used for the outer corner
is always to the right of the blade. The piece of
cornice used for the inner corner is always to the left
of the blade.
3. To make the matching halves of the inner and
outer corners, simply turn the table to the left bevel cutting position
of 31.62°. A positive stop is provided in order to
quickly adjust the table to this angle. The saw blade is already
inclined to the bevel angle of 33.9 ° for the previous cut.
4. Place the cornice on the saw table, with the wall side of the
cornice against the guide, and make the cut. You are once again reminded that a clamp must be used to hold the piece firmly
against the table. The piece of cornice used for the outside corner is always to the right of the blade. The piece of cornice
used for the inside corner is always to the left of the blade.
