Alternative Method for Cutting Crown
Molding
Place the molding at an angle between the fence
the saw table
44
, with the top side of the molding on the
table and the bottom side of the molding on the fence as
shown in Figure V.
The advantage to cutting crown molding using this method
is that no bevel cut is required. Minute changes in the miter
angle can be made without affecting the bevel angle. This
way, when corners other than 90º are encountered, the saw
can be quickly and easily adjusted for them.
Instructions for Cutting Crown Molding
Angled Between the Fence and Base of
the Saw for All Cuts
This saw can cut up to 9/16" (14 mm) x 3-5/8" (92 mm)
crown molding nested.
1. Angle the molding so the bottom of the molding (part
which goes against the wall when installed) is against
the fence
and the top of the molding is resting on

the saw table

, as shown in Figure V.
2. The angled "flats" on the back of the molding must rest
squarely on the fence and saw table.

Special Cuts
NEVER MAKE ANY CUT UNLESS THE MATERIAL IS
SECURED ON THE TABLE AND AGAINST THE FENCE.
Bowed Material (Fig. W, X)
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in
Figure W and never like that shown in Figure X. Positioning
the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade near
the completion of the cut.

Cutting Round Material
Rounded material should be clamped or held firmly to the
fence to keep it from rolling. This is extremely important
when making angle cuts.
