CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL
Before cutting flat pieces, check to see if the material is bowed. If it is, make sure the material is positioned on the table
as shown in Fig. 30.
If the material is positioned the wrong way, as shown in Fig. 31, the workpiece will pinch the blade near the comple-
tion of the cut.

CUTTING CROWN MOULDING
One of the many features of the saw is the ease of cutting crown moulding. The following is an example of cutting both
inside and outside corners on 52/38° wall angle crown moulding.
NOTE: The following procedure for inside or outside crown molding corners is the same with the exception that the
bevel position will always be at 30° and the miter position will be 35-1/4° to the right or left.
1. Move the table to the 31-5/8° right miter position and lock the table in position. NOTE: A positive stop is provided
to find this angle quickly.
2. Tilt the saw blade to the 33-7/8° left bevel position and tighten bevel lock handle. NOTE: A triangle indicator is pro-
vided on the bevel scale to find this angle quickly.
3. Place the crown moulding on the table with the CEILING EDGE of the moulding against the fence, and make the
cut, as shown in Fig. 32.
NOTE: The piece of crown moulding used for the outside corner will always be on the right hand side of the blade, as
shown at (A) Fig. 32. The piece of crown moulding used for the inside corner will always be on the left hand side of the
blade, as shown at (B) Fig. 32.
4. To make the matching halves of the inside and outside corners, simply rotate the table to the 31-5/8° left miter
position.
NOTE: A positive stop is provided to find this angle quickly. The saw blade is already tilted to the 33-7/8° bevel posi-
tion from the previous cut.
5. Place the crown moulding on the table with the WALL EDGE of the crown moulding against the fence and make
the cut. Again, the piece of crown moulding used for the outside corner will always be on the right side of the blade,
as shown at (C) Fig. 33. The piece of crown moulding used for the inside corner will always be on the left side of the
blade, as shown at (D) Fig. 33.
6. Fig. 34 illustrates the two outside corner pieces; the piece cut at (A) Fig. 32 and the piece cut at (C) Fig. 33.
7. Fig. 35 illustrates the two inside corner pieces; the piece cut at (B) Fig. 32, and the piece cut at (D) Fig. 33.
Make sure that the fence is clear of the guard and blade before operating the saw.
