Saw Operations
Crown Molding Lying Flat on Table
NOTE: Position workpiece with its back flat on
the saw table.
Always place top edge of molding against fence
(decorative edge is at the bottom of crown
molding.)
“Spring angle” refers to angle between wall and
crown molding.
Cutting crown molding flat on the table can be
done either as a chop cut or a slide cut depend-
ing on the width of the workpiece.
Refer to special auxiliary fence for narrow cut-
offs when cutting crown flat on table (see page
54).
1. For 90° corner, set the bevel and miter an-
gles using charts below. Tighten the miter
lock knob and the bevel lock lever.
2. Position molding on saw table. Clamp work-
piece in place using the quick clamp.
Use clamping position
that does not interfere
with operation. Before switching “ON”, lower
head assembly to make sure clamp clears
guard and head assembly.
Be aware of the path of
the saw blade. Make a dry
run with the saw Off by conducting a simu-
lated cutting cycle, and observe the projected
path of the saw blade. Keep hands at least six
(6) inches away from the projected path of
the saw blade.
3. Follow procedures for either chop cut or
slide cut (see pages 39-40).
4. Wait until blade comes to a complete stop
before returning head assembly to the
raised position and/or removing workpiece.
NOTE: Always take a test cut using scrap to con-
firm correct angles.
