Special Workpieces
When sawing curved or round workpieces,
these must be especially secured against slip-
ping. At the cutting line, no gap may exist be-
tween workpiece, fence and saw table.
Provide for special fixtures, if required.
Sawing Profile Strips/Mouldings (Floor and Ceiling Strips)
Profile strips/mouldings can be sawn in two dif-
ferent ways:
– Placed against the fence
– Lying flat on the saw table. In addition, the cut can be perfomed with or
without slide movement depending on the
width of the profile strip/moulding.
Always make trial cuts with the mitre angle set-
ting first on scrap wood.
