Cutting base molding (Fig. R)
Straight 90º cuts:
Position the wood against the fence and hold it in place as
shown in Figure R. Turn on the saw, allow the blade to reach
full speed and lower the arm smoothly through the cut.
Cutting base molding up to 70 mm / 90 mm high
vertically against the Fence
BES700 - 70 mm for 216 mm
BES710 - 90 mm for 254 mm
Position material as shown in Figure R All cuts should be
made with the back of the molding against the fence and with
the bottom of the molding against the table.

Cutting crown molding
In order to fit properly, crown molding must be compound
mitred with extreme accuracy.
The two flat surfaces on a given piece of crown molding are
at angles that, when added together, equal exactly 90°. Most,
but not all, crown molding has a top rear angle (the section
that fits flat against the ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear angle
(the part that fits flat against the wall) of 38°.
Your mitre saw has special preset mitre detent points at 31.6°
left and right for cutting crown molding at the proper angle.
There is also a mark on the bevel scale at 33.9°.
The Bevel Setting/Type of Cut chart gives the proper settings
for cutting crown molding. (The numbers for the mitre and
bevel settings are very precise and are not easy to accurately
set on your saw.) Since most rooms do not have angles of
precisely 90°, you will have to fine-tune your settings anyway.
Instructions for cutting crown molding laying flat
and using the compound features
Lay the molding with broad back surface down flat on saw
u
table (Fig. S1).
The settings below are for all standard crown molding with
u
52° and 38° angles.

Note: When setting bevel and mitre angles for all compound
mitres, remember that the angles presented for crown moldings
are very precise and difficult to set exactly. Since they can easily
shift slightly and very few rooms have exactly square corners, all
settings should be tested on scrap molding.
Alternative method for cutting crown molding
Place the molding at an angle between the rear fence (12)
and the rotary table (11), with the top side of the molding on
the table and the bottom side of the molding on the fence as
shown in Figure S2.
The advantage to cutting crown molding using this method
is that no bevel cut is required. Minute changes in the mitre
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 14 mm x 92 mm crown molding nested.
Angle the molding so the bottom of the molding (part
u
which goes against the wall when installed) is against the
rear fence (12) and the top of the molding is resting on the
rotary table (11), as shown in Figure S2.
The angled "flats" on the back of the molding must rest
u
squarely on the fence and saw table.
