33.8°
2. Miter table set left 31.62°
3. Save left end of cut
LEFT SIDE, OUTSIDE CORNER:
1. Bottom of molding against fence
33.8°
2. Miter table set left 31.62°
3. Save right end of cut
RIGHT SIDE, OUTSIDE CORNER:
1. Top of molding against fence
33.8°
2. Miter table set right 31.62°
3. Save right end of cut
NOTE: When setting bevel and miter angles for all compound miters, 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.

PRETESTING WITH SCRAP MATERIAL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR CUTTING CROWN MOLDING
Place the molding at an angle between the fence (K) and the saw table (AV), with the top
side of the molding on the table and the bottom side of the molding on the fence as shown
in Figure 20.
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 (K) and the top of the molding is resting on the saw table
(AV), as shown in Figure 19.
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. 21, 22)
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in Figure 21 and never like that
shown in Figure 22. Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade near
the completion of the cut.
FIG. 21
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.
CUTTING LARGE MATERIAL (FIG. 23)
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of
wood a little too large to fit beneath the lower
guard. To clear the guard over the wood,
with the saw off and your right hand on the
operating handle, place your right thumb
outside of the upper portion of the guard
and roll the guard up just enough to clear the
wood, as shown in Figure 23. Release the
guard prior to starting the motor. The guard
mechanism will function properly during the
cut. Only do this when necessary. NEVER
TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE
GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS
SAW.
