SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety
warnings GEA010-2
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Safety instructions for mitre saws
ENB130-2
1. Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like
products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-
off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as
bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving
parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from
abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf
insert and other plastic parts.
2. Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever
possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you
must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from
either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to
cut pieces that are too small to be securely
clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too
close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of
injury from blade contact.
3. The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or
held against both the fence and the table. Do not

feed the workpiece into the blade or cut
“freehand” in any way. Unrestrained or moving
workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing
injury.
4. Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull
the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut,
raise the saw head and pull it out over the
workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press
the saw head down and push the saw through the
workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause
the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and
violently throw the blade assembly towards the
operator.
5. Never cross your hand over the intended line of
cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding
the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your
left hand or vice versa is very dangerous. (Fig. 1)
6. Do not reach behind the fence with either hand
closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw
blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other
reason while the blade is spinning. The proximity of
the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be
obvious and you may be seriously injured.
7. Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the
workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the
outside bowed face toward the fence. Always
make certain that there is no gap between the
workpiece, fence and table along the line of the
cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and
may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while
cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in
the workpiece.
8. Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all
tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece.
Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects
that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with
high speed.
9. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple
workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced
and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
10. Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a
level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm
work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw
becoming unstable.
11. Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel
or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable
fence is set correctly to support the workpiece
and will not interfere with the blade or the
guarding system. Without turning the tool “ON” and
with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade
through a complete simulated cut to assure there will
be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
12. Provide adequate support such as table
extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that
is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces
longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not
securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece
tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the
spinning blade.
13. Do not use another person as a substitute for a
table extension or as additional support. Unstable
support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind
or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation
pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.
14. The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed
by any means against the spinning saw blade. If
confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece
could get wedged against the blade and thrown
violently.
15. Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to
properly support round material such as rods or
tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut,
causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with your
hand into the blade.
16. Let the blade reach full speed before contacting
the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the
workpiece being thrown.
17. If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn
the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop
and disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free
the jammed material. Continued sawing with a
jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or
damage to the mitre saw.
18. After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the
saw head down and wait for the blade to stop
before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with
your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
19. Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete
cut or when releasing the switch before the saw
head is completely in the down position. The
braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to
be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
20. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that is
marked on the tool or specified in the manual. Use
of an incorrectly sized blade may affect the proper
guarding of the blade or guard operation which could
result in serious personal injury.
21. Only use the saw blades that are marked with a
speed equal or higher than the speed marked on
the tool.
22. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,
aluminum or similar materials.
23. (For European countries only)
Always use the blade which conforms to EN847-1.
Additional instructions
1. Make workshop kid proof with padlocks.
2. Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could occur if
the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally
contacted.
3. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn the
power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
4. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
Check blade guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate saw if blade guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the blade guard into the open position.
5. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still cause
severe injury.
6. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the
full rear position after each crosscut operation.
7. Always secure all moving portions before carrying
the tool.
14
8. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down is
for carrying and storage purposes only and not for
any cutting operations.
9. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
blade immediately. Gum and wood pitch hardened
on blades slows saw and increases potential for
kickback. Keep blade clean by first removing it
from tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch
remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use
gasoline to clean blade.
10. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can occur.
KICKBACK occurs when the blade binds in the
workpiece during a cutting operation and the saw
blade is driven rapidly towards the operator. Loss
of control and serious personal injury can result. If
blade begins to bind during a cutting operation,
do not continue to cut and release switch
immediately.
11. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
12. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage
to these parts could result in blade breakage.
13. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured
so it will not move during operation. Use the holes
in the base to fasten the saw to a stable work
platform or bench. NEVER use tool where operator
positioning would be awkward.
14. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
15. Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn
base in the lowest position.
16. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
17. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
18. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it
run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
19. Stop operation immediately if you notice anything
abnormal.
20. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the “ON”
position.
21. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
22. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
WARNING:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool. Failure to switch off and unplug the tool
may result in serious personal injury from accidental
start-up.
Blade guard (Fig. 5)
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises
automatically. The blade guard returns to its original
position when the cut is completed and the handle is
raised.
WARNING:
Never defeat or remove the blade guard or the
spring which attaches to the guard. An exposed
blade as a result of defeated guarding may result in
serious personal injury during operation.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain the
blade guard in good condition. Any irregular operation of
the blade guard should be corrected immediately. Check
to assure spring loaded return action of guard.
WARNING:
Never use the tool if the blade guard or spring are
damaged, faulty or removed. Operation of the tool
with a damaged, faulty or removed guard may result in
serious personal injury.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or
workpiece is no longer easily visible, unplug the saw and
clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use
solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic
guard because this may cause damage to the guard.
If the blade guard becomes dirty and needs to be cleaned
for proper operation follow the steps below:
15
With the tool switched off and unplugged, use the
supplied socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the
center cover. Loosen the hex bolt by turning it
counterclockwise and raise the blade guard and center
cover. (Fig. 6)
With the blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be more
completely and efficiently accomplished. When cleaning is
complete reverse procedure above and secure bolt. Do
not remove spring holding blade guard. If guard becomes
damaged through age or UV light exposure, contact a
Makita service center for a new guard. DO NOT DEFEAT
OR REMOVE GUARD.
Positioning kerf board (Fig. 7 & 8)
This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn base
to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The kerf
boards are factory adjusted so that the saw blade does
not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the kerf
boards as follows:
First, unplug the tool. Loosen all the screws (3 each on left
and right) securing the kerf boards. Re-tighten them only
to the extent that the kerf boards can still be easily moved
by hand. Lower the handle fully and push in the stopper
pin to lock the handle in the lowered position. Loosen the
screw which secures the slide poles. Pull the carriage
toward you fully. Adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf
boards just contact the sides of the blade teeth. Tighten
the front screws (do not tighten firmly). Push the carriage
toward the guide fence fully and adjust the kerf boards so
that the kerf boards just contact the sides of blade teeth.
Tighten the rear screws (do not tighten firmly).
After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper pin
and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws securely.
NOTICE:
After setting the bevel angle ensure that the kerf
boards are adjusted properly. Correct adjustment of
the kerf boards will help provide proper support of the
workpiece minimizing workpiece tear out.
Maintaining maximum cutting capacity
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum
cutting capacity for a 255 mm saw blade.
Unplug the tool before any adjustment is attempted.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit
position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows:
(Fig. 9 & 10)
First, unplug the tool. Push the carriage toward the guide
fence fully and lower the handle completely. Use the hex.
wrench to turn the adjusting bolt until the periphery of the
blade extends slightly below the top surface of the turn
base at the point where the front face of the guide fence
meets the top surface of the turn base.
With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while
holding the handle all the way down to be sure that the
blade does not contact any part of the lower base. Re-
adjust slightly, if necessary.
WARNING:
After installing a new blade and with the tool
unplugged, always be sure that the blade does not
contact any part of the lower base when the handle is
lowered completely. If a blade makes contact with the
base it may cause kickback and result in serious
personal injury.
Stopper arm (Fig. 11)
The lower limit position of the blade can be easily
adjusted with the stopper arm. To adjust it, move the
stopper arm in the direction of the arrow as shown in the
figure. Adjust the adjusting screw so that the blade stops
at the desired position when lowering the handle fully.
Adjusting the miter angle (Fig. 12)
Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. Turn the turn
base while pressing down the lock lever. When you have
moved the grip to the position where the pointer points to
the desired angle on the miter scale, securely tighten the
grip clockwise.
CAUTION:
After changing the miter angle, always secure the turn
base by tightening the grip firmly.
NOTICE:
When turning the turn base, be sure to raise the handle
fully.
Adjusting the bevel angle (Fig. 13)
To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the lever at the rear of

while pressing it. Take out the old dry cells and put the
new ones as shown in the figure. After replacing, return
the lid to cover it.
Cleaning of the lens for the laser light
If the lens for the laser light becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the laser line is no longer
easily visible, unplug the saw and remove and clean the
lens for the laser light carefully with a damp, soft cloth. Do
not use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the
lens.
NOTE:
When laser line is dim and almost or entirely invisible
because of the direct sunlight in the indoor or outdoor
window-by work, relocate the work area to a place not
exposed to the direct sunlight.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before working on the tool. Failure to
switch off and unplug the tool may result in serious
personal injury.

wrench on its other end (Fig. 23)
The socket wrench is stored as shown in the figure. When
the socket wrench is needed it can be pulled out of the
wrench holder.
After using the socket wrench it can be stored by returning
it to the wrench holder.
Installing or removing saw blade
WARNING:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
Accidental start up of the tool may result in serious
personal injury.
Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to
install or remove the blade. Failure to use the wrench
may result in overtightening or insufficient tightening of
the hex bolt and serious personal injury. (Fig. 24)
Lock the handle in the raised position by pushing in the
stopper pin. (Fig. 25)
To remove the blade, use the socket wrench to loosen the
hex bolt holding the center cover by turning it
counterclockwise. Raise the blade guard and center
cover.
17
WARNING:
Do not remove any screw other than the hex bolt
illustrated. If you mistakenly remove another screw
and the blade guard comes off, make sure to re-
assemble the blade guard.
Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the socket
wrench to loosen the hex bolt clockwise. Then remove the
hex bolt, outer flange and blade. (Fig. 26)
NOTE:
If the inner flange is removed be sure to install it on the
spindle with its protrusion facing away from the blade. If
the flange is installed incorrectly the flange will rub
against the machine.
WARNING:
Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always
be sure that the correct ring for the blade’s arbor
hole you intend to use is installed between the
inner and the outer flanges. Use of the incorrect
arbor hole ring may result in the improper mounting of
the blade causing blade movement and severe
vibration resulting in possible loss of control during
operation and in serious personal injury. (Fig. 27)
To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle,
making sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface
of the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the
blade case.
Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the
socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed)
securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock.
(Fig. 28 & 29)
Return the blade guard and center cover to its original
position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure the
center cover. Release the handle from the raised position
by pulling the stopper pin. Lower the handle to make sure
that the blade guard moves properly. Make sure the shaft
lock has released spindle before making cut.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner.(Fig. 30)
Dust bag (Fig. 31)
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations cleaner
and dust collection easier. To attach the dust bag, fit it
onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag
of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles
adhering to the insides which might hamper further
collection.
Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always secure the
workpiece correctly with the proper type of vise or
crown molding stoppers. Failure to do so may result
in serious personal injury and cause damage to the tool
and/or the workpiece.
After a cutting operation do not raise the blade
until it has come to a complete stop. The raising of a
coasting blade may result in serious personal injury
and damage to the workpiece.
When cutting a workpiece that is longer than the
support base of the saw, the material should be
supported the entire length beyond the support
base and at the same height to keep the material
level. Proper workpiece support will help avoid blade
pinch and possible kickback which may result in
serious personal injury. Do not rely solely on the
vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the
workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support
workpiece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch
and possible KICKBACK. (Fig. 32)
Guide fence (SLIDING FENCE)
adjustment (Fig. 33)
WARNING:
Before operating the tool, make sure that the sliding
fence is secured firmly.
Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part of the
tool, especially the blade, contacts the fence when
fully lowering and raising the handle in any
position and while moving the carriage through its
full range of travel. If the tool or blade makes contact
with the fence this may result in kickback or
unexpected movement of the material and serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
When performing bevel cuts, slide the sliding fence to
the left and secure it as shown in the figure. Otherwise,
it will contact the blade or a part of the tool, causing
possible serious injury to the operator. (Fig. 34)
This tool is equipped with the sliding fence which should
ordinarily be positioned as shown in the figure.
However, when performing left bevel cuts, set it to the left
position as shown in the figure if the tool head contacts it.
When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don’t forget
to return the sliding fence to the original position and
secure it by firmly tightening the clamping screw.
Sub-fence R
WARNING:
Before operating the tool, make sure that the sub-fence
R is secured firmly.
Before performing right bevel cuts, remove the sub-
fence R. It will contact the blade or a part of the tool,
causing possible serious injury to the operator.
(Fig. 35)
The sub-fence R can be removed from the right side of
the guide fence. To remove the sub-fence R, loosen the
screw which secures the sub-fence R and pull it out.
Follow the removal procedure in reverse to install it.
When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don’t forget
to return the sub-fence R to the original position and
secure it by firmly tightening the clamping screw.
Vertical vise (Fig. 36)
The vertical vise can be installed on either the left or right
side of the guide fence. Insert the vise rod into the hole in
the guide fence and tighten the screw on the back of the
guide fence to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
18
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the opposite
side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool
contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
WARNING:
The workpiece must be secured firmly against the
turn base and guide fence with the vise during all
operations. If the workpiece is not properly secured
against the fence the material may move during the
cutting operation causing possible damage to the
blade, causing the material to be thrown and loss of
control resulting in serious personal injury.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
(Fig. 37)
The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. When performing
10° or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the
side opposite the direction in which the turn base is to be
turned. (Fig. 38)
By flipping the vise nut counterclockwise, the vise is
released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the
workpiece, push the vise knob forward until the vise plate
contacts the workpiece and flip the vise nut clockwise.
Then turn the vise knob clockwise to secure the
workpiece.
The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured
by the horizontal vise is 215 mm.
When installing the horizontal vise on the right side of the
base, also use the sub-fence R to secure the workpiece
more firmly. Refer to the “Sub-fence R” section described
on previously for installing the sub-fence R.
WARNING:
Always rotate the vise nut clockwise until the
workpiece is properly secured. If the workpiece is
not properly secured the material may move during the
cutting operation causing possible damage to the
blade, causing the material to be thrown and loss of
control resulting in serious personal injury.
When cutting a thin workpiece, such as base boards,
against the fence, always use the horizontal vise.
OPERATION
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when
cutting. Too much force may result in overload of the
motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Push down
handle with only as much force as is necessary for
smooth cutting and without significant decrease in
blade speed.
Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If the
handle is pressed down with force or if lateral force is
applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark (saw
mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will
be impaired.
During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward the
guide fence without stopping. If the carriage movement
is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in the
workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with the
workpiece may result in kickback and serious personal
injury.
CAUTION:
Do not release the saw head uncontrolled from the fully
down position. Uncontrolled saw head may hit you and
it will result in personal injury.
1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces) (Fig. 39)
Workpieces up to 91 mm high and 70 mm wide can be
cut in the following manner.
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
tighten the locking screw clockwise to secure the
carriage. Secure the workpiece correctly with the
proper type of vise. Switch on the tool without the
blade making any contact and wait until the blade
attains full speed before lowering. Then gently lower
the handle to the fully lowered position to cut the
workpiece. 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.
WARNING:
Firmly tighten the knob clockwise so that the
carriage will not move during operation. Insufficient
tightening of the knob may cause possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury.
2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)
(Fig. 40)
Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise so that the
carriage can slide freely. Secure the workpiece with
the proper type of vise. Pull the carriage toward you
fully. Switch on the tool without the blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
Press the handle down and PUSH THE CARRIAGE
TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE AND THROUGH THE
WORKPIECE. 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.
WARNING:
Whenever performing a slide cut, first pull the
carriage full towards you and press the handle all
the way down, then push the carriage toward the
guide fence. Never start the cut with the carriage
not pulled fully toward you. If you perform the slide
cut without the carriage pulled fully toward you
unexpected kickback may occur and serious personal
injury may result.
Never attempt to perform a slide cut by pulling the
carriage towards you. Pulling the carriage towards
19
you while cutting may cause unexpected kickback
resulting in possible serious personal injury.
Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked in
the lowered position.
Never loosen the locking screw which secures the
carriage while the blade is rotating. A loose carriage
while cutting may cause unexpected kickback resulting
in possible in serious personal injury.
3. Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the miter
angle”.
4. Bevel cut (Fig. 41)
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. Secure the
workpiece with a vise. Make sure the carriage is pulled
all the way back toward the operator. Switch on the
tool without the blade making any contact and wait
until the blade attains full speed. Then gently lower the
handle to the fully lowered position while applying
pressure in parallel with the blade and PUSH THE
CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT
THE WORKPIECE. 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.
WARNING:
After setting the blade for a bevel cut, before
operating the tool ensure that the carriage and
blade will have free travel throughout the entire
range of the intended cut. Interruption of the carriage
or blade travel during the cutting operation may result
in kickback and serious personal injury.
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.
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.
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 pressure
direction is changed during a cut, the precision of the
cut will be impaired.
Before bevel-cutting, an adjustment of sliding fence
maybe required. Refer to the section titled “Guide
fence adjustment”.
CAUTION:
Always remove the sub-fence R so that it does not
interfere any part of the carriage when performing right
bevel cuts.
5. 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.
009713
When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press
cutting”, “Slide cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut”
explanations.
6. 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. See illustrations. (Fig. 42)
There are crown and cove molding joints which are
made to fit “Inside” 90° corners ((1) and (2) in Fig. A)
and “Outside” 90° corners ((3) and (4) in Fig. A).
(Fig. 43 & 44)
Measuring
Measure the wall length and adjust workpiece on table
to cut wall contact edge to desired length. Always
make sure that cut workpiece length at the back of
the workpiece is the same as wall length. Adjust cut
length for angle of cut. Always use several pieces for
test cuts to check the saw angles.
When cutting crown and cove moldings, set the bevel
angle and miter angle as indicated in the table (A) and
position the moldings on the top surface of the saw
base as indicated in the table (B).

7. Cutting aluminum extrusion (Fig. 45 & 46)
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
blade.
WARNING:
Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum
extrusions. Thick or round aluminum extrusions can
be difficult to secure and may work loose during the
cutting operation which may result in loss of control and
serious personal injury.
8. Wood facing
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts
in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence
using the holes in the guide fence.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a
suggested wood facing. (Fig. 47)
CAUTION:
Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood
facing.
WARNING:
Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide
fence. The screws should be installed so that the
screw heads are below the surface of the wood
facing so that they will not interfere with the
positioning of the material being cut. Misalignment
of the material being cut can case unexpected
movement during the cutting operation which may
result in a loss of control and serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the turn
base with the handle lowered. The blade and/or the
wood facing will be damaged.
9. Groove cutting (Fig. 48)
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as
follows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the
adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the cutting
depth of the blade. Refer to “Stopper arm” section
described previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade, cut
parallel grooves across the width of the workpiece
using a slide (push) cut as shown in the figure. Then
remove the workpiece material between the grooves
with a chisel.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to perform this type of cut by using
a wider type blade or dado blade. Attempting to
make a groove cut with a wider blade or dado blade
could lead to unexpected cutting results and kickback
which may result in serious personal injury.
Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original
position when performing other than groove
cutting. Attempting to make cuts with the stopper arm
in the incorrect position could lead to unexpected
cutting results and kickback which may result in serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original
position when performing other than groove cutting.
Carrying tool (Fig. 49)
Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at
0° bevel angle and the turn base at the full right miter
angle position. Secure the slide poles so that the lower
slide pole is locked in the position of the carriage fully
pulled to operator and the upper poles are locked in the
position of the carriage fully pushed forward to the guide
fence (refer to the section titled “Slide lock adjustment”.)
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by pushing in the stopper pin.
Wind the power supply cord using the cord rests.
