WHEN MITERING TO THE RIGHT
To increase the miter angle when mitering to the right, move the arm to align the appropriate vernier mark with the closest mark on the miter scale to the right. To decrease the miter angle when mitering to the right, move the arm to align the appropriate vernier mark with the clos- est mark on the miter scale to the left.
WHEN MITERING TO THE LEFT
To increase the miter angle when mitering to the left, move the arm to align the appropriate vernier mark with the clos- est mark on the miter scale to the left. To decrease the miter angle when mitering to the left, move the arm to align the appropriate vernier mark with the closest mark on the miter scale to the right.
CUTTING BASE MOLDING
ALWAYS MAKE A DRY RUN WITHOUT POWER BEFORE MAKING ANY CUTS.
Straight 90° cuts :
Position the wood against the fence as shown in Figure 21. Turn on the saw, allow the blade to reach full speed and lower the arm smoothly through the cut.
CUTTING BASE MOLDING UP TO 3.5" (88.9 MM)
HIGH VERTICALLY AGAINST THE FENCE Position molding as shown in Figure 25.
All cuts are made with the back of the molding against the fence and bottom of the molding against the base.

Material up to 3.5" (88.9 mm) can be cut as described above. For wider boards [up to 4.25" (107.95 mm)] several minor concessions must be made.
When cutting a board between 3.5" (88.9 mm) and 4.25" (107.95 mm) in width the roller on the tip of the guard could hang up on the workpiece. If this occurs, simply place your right thumb on the upper side of the guard and roll the guard up just enough to clear the workpiece, as shown in Figure 28. Once you have cleared the workpiece, you can release the guard and it will continue to open as the cut progresses.

When mitering to the right side of a base molding wider than 3.5" (88.9 mm) standing vertically against the fence as in Figure 25, the saw can only cut through the board up to 1 inch from the end of the board. Trying to cut more than an inch will cause the saw’s gear case to interfere with the workpiece. If you want to cut base molding between
CUTTING 3.5 (88.9 MM)"– 4.25" (107.95 MM) BASE MOLDING VERTICALLY AGAINST THE FENCE
•Position molding as shown in Figure 25.
•All cuts made with the back of the molding against the fence
INSIDE CORNER:
Left side
1.Position molding with bottom of molding against the base of the saw
2.Miter left 45°
3.Save left side of cut
Right side
1.Position molding with top of the molding resting on the base of the saw
2.Miter left 45°
3.Save left side of cut
OUTSIDE CORNER:
Left side
1.Position molding with bottom of molding against the base of the saw
2.Miter right 45°
3.Save left side of cut
NOTE: If the cut must be made somewhere other than
1" from the end of the molding: cut off the molding at 90° approx. 1" (25.4 mm) longer than your final length then make the miter cut as described above.
Right side
1.Position molding with bottom of the molding against the base of the saw
2.Miter left 45°
3.Save the right side of cut
A third method of making the cut necessary is to make a zero degree miter, 45° bevel cut. Your saw can cut a bevel 6. 2" (157.5 mm) wide.
CUTTING BASE MOLDING LAYING FLAT AND USING THE BEVEL FEATURE
•All cuts made with the saw set at 45° bevel and 0 miter
•All cuts made with back of molding laying flat on the saw as shown in Figures 26.
•Move the left side fence out of the path of the blade before attempting any of the following cuts.
