CROWN MOLDING ANGLED TO
TABLE AND FENCE
The preferred method for cutting crown
molding with this saw is with the molding
lying flat on the table.
The advantage to cutting molding angled
against fence is that no bevel setting is re-
quired. Only the miter angle is adjusted.
The maximum crown molding width that
can be cut and angled to table and fence is
6-1/2" (165mm).
When cutting crown molding in this fashion
it is recommended to purchase and use the
optional Crown Stop Set (see page 63).
Follow these instructions for cutting
crown molding angled to table and fence.
1. Position the molding so the bottom (dec-
orative part, which is installed against
the wall) is against the fence.
2. For 90° corner, set the miter angle using
chart below. Tighten the miter lock knob.
3. Support crown molding against the
fence (see “Body and Hand Position” on
page 36.)
Be aware of the path of
the saw blade. Make a
dry run with the saw Off by conducting a
simulated cutting cycle, and observe the
projected path of the saw blade. Keep
hands at least six (6) inches (152mm)
away from the projected path of the saw
blade.
4. Follow the procedures for chop or slide
cut (see pages 42–43).
5. 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
confirm correct angles.
