Crown Molding Angled to Table and Fence
Be aware of the path of the saw
blade. Make a dry run with the bat-
tery pack disconnected and the saw switched OFF by con-
ducting a simulated cutting cycle, and observe the pro-
jected path of the saw blade. Keep hands at least six (6)
inches (152mm) away from the projected path of the saw
blade.
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 (Fig.
53, 12) is that no bevel setting is required. Only the miter
angle is adjusted.
The maximum crown molding width that can be cut and an-
gled to table and fence is 6-1/2” (165mm).
When cutting crown molding in this fashion it is recommend-
ed to purchase and use the optional Crown Stop Set (Fig. 53).
Follow these instructions for cutting crown molding an-
gled to table and fence.
1. Position the molding so the bottom edge (Fig. 53), the
decorative part, which is installed against the wall, is
against the fence (12).
2. For 90° corner, set the miter angle using chart below.
Tighten the miter lock knob (20).
3. Support crown molding against the fence (12). (See
“Body and Hand Position” on page 30.)
4. Follow either the procedure “Chop Cuts” on page 37
or “Slide Cuts” on page 38.
5. Wait until saw blade comes to a complete stop before
returning head assembly (28) to the raised position and
then remove workpiece.
NOTE: Always take a test cut using scrap to confirm correct
angles.
