SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXTENSION SPEED AND WIRING CORDS Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong groundingplugs and 3-pole receptaclesthat accept the tool's plug. When usinga power tool at s considerable distance from the powersource, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized extensioncord will causea drop in line voltage, resultingin a foes of powerand causing the motor to overheat. Use the chart provided below to determine the minimumwire size required in an extension cord. Only round Jacketedcords listed by Underwriter'sLaboratories (UL) shouldbe used. The no-load speed of this tool is approximately4,500 rpm. 7his speed is not constant and decreases under a Iced or with fewer voltage. Forvoltage, the widng in a shop is as importantas the motor'shorsepower rating.A line intendedonly for lightscannot properlycarry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enoughfor a short distancewill be too lightfor a greater distance.A finethat can support one power tool may not be able to support two or three tools. -Ampe_ in the event of a malfunctionor breakdown, grounding provides _ path of k_astresistancefor electriccurrentto reduce the risk of electricshock.

This type of cut is used to make picture frames, cut molding,make boxes with sloping sides, end for certain roof framing cuts. • To make this type of cut the conVol arm on the miter table must be rotated to the correct angle and the saw arm must be tilted to the correct bevel angle. Care shouldalways be taken when making compound miter setups due to the interaction of the two angle settings. Beforeturning on the saw. perform a dry run of the cutting opera,|oni_ to make sure tha_no probk_nswilt occur when the cut is made. Adjustments of miter and beveJsettings are interdependent with one another.Each time you adjust the miter setting you change the effect of the bevel setting. Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting you change the effect of the miter setting. It may take several settingsto obtain the desiredcut. The first angle setting should be checked after setting the second angle, since adjusting the secondangle affects the first. Once the two correct settings for a particularout have been obtained, always make a test cut in scrap material beforemaklng a finish cut in good material. TO MAKE A COMPOUND CUT • Puffout the lock pin and rift saw arm to its full height. • Loosen the miter lock levers. • Rotate the saw table untilthe pointeraligns with the desired angle on the miter scala. • Tighten the miter lock levers securely.

COMPOUND-ANGLE SETTINGS FOR POPULAR STRUCTURES 24 1_.17.93 ° CUT'rING CROWN MOLDING Your compound mRer saw does an excellent Jobof cutting crown molding. In general, compound miter saws do a better job of cutting crownmolding than any other tool made. When setting the bevel and miter angles for compound miters, rememberthat the settingsare interdependent; changing one angle changes the other angle as well. Keep in mind that the angles for crownmoldings are very precLseand diffLcuitto sat. Since it tsvery easy for these angles to shift, all settings should first be tested on scrap molding.Also most wells do not have angles of exactly 90", therefore, you witl need to fine tune yoursettings, In order to fit properly,crown molding must be compound mitered with extreme accuracy. The two contact surfaces on a piece of crown molding that fit flat against the ceilingand the wall of a room are at angles that, when added together, equal exactly go'. Most crown molding has a top rear angle (the section that fits fiat against the cs[Ting)of 52"and a bottom rear angle (the section that fits fiat against the wall) of 38". When cutting crown molding by this method the bevel angle should be set at 33.85".The miter angle shouldbe set at 31.62" either dght or left, dependingon the desired cut for the application. See the chart below for correct angle settings and correct positioningof crownmolding on miter _ble. LAYING MOLDING FLAT ON THE MITER TABLE See Figure 31. "1"o usethis method for accucateLycut_mg crownmolding for a 90"inside or outside corner,lay the molding with its broad back surface flat on the miter table and against the fence. 52" The settings in the chart below can be used for cutting All Standard (U.S.) crownmolding with 52"and 38"angles.
