Helpful Hints

Use plastic clamps for added security. (Fig. 26) Always cut longer side first so if a mistake is made, they may be used for shorter sides. Use 80 to 100 tooth saw blades for best results. Lower blade into material slowly for best results. Check cut lengths by laying them side by side on a hard, even surface; align one end and check the other. (Fig. 27) If not exactly even, use Logan Elite Sander F200-2 to produce accurate size and precise 45° angles.

Quick start

  1. Set the fence height so each end of the fence is even with the saw base, then tighten the bracket screws.
  2. Mount the saw to a table or a 12" x 80" MDF or plywood board, 28" from the right end of the board.
  3. Align each fence with the saw using a straight edge, mark and drill 9/64" holes, and screw the brackets down. The short fence goes on the right, the long fence on the left.
  4. Unplug the saw, set it to a 45° left cut and use the scale gauge to mark the label for Scale A.
  5. Apply Scale A at the 6" mark, then butt Scale B against it.
  6. Attach a stop, slide the mitered moulding to the needed dimension and lock the stop against it.
  7. Cut at 45° right and 45° left as described, adding 1/8" to lengths for clearance.
