Compound Cutting - Makita LS1219 Manual De Instrucciones

8. 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.

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.
Miter angle
Left and Right 0° - 45°
When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press cut-
ting", "Slide (push) cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel
cut" explanations
Cutting base boards
CAUTION:
Make sure to use the horizontal
vise (optional accessory) when cutting the base
board.
CAUTION:
When cutting the workpiece of the
thickness 20 mm or thinner, make sure to use a
spacer block to secure the workpiece.
When cutting the base board in 45° miter angle, engage
the stopper lever to prevent the blade case from con-
tacting the base board. This will keep the clearance
between the base board and the blade case when the
carriage is fully pushed forward.
Refer to the SPECIFICATIONS for base board cutting
capacity.

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.

There are crown and cove molding joints which are
made to fit "Inside" 90° corners ((a) and (b) in the figure)
and "Outside" 90° corners ((c) and (d) in the figure.)

Measuring
Measure the wall width, and adjust the width of the
workpiece according to it. Always make sure that width
of the workpiece's wall contact edge is the same as wall
length.

workpiece 4. Wall contact edge
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).
