PRETESTING WITH SCRAP MATERIAL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
Alternative Method for Cutting Crown Molding (Fig. EE)
Place the molding on the table at an angle between the fence and the saw table, as shown in
FigureEE. Use of the crown molding fence accessory (DW7084) is highly recommended because
of its degree of accuracy and convenience (Refer to Optional Accessories). The crown molding
fence accessory is available for purchase from your localdealer.
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. Use the crown molding fence accessory to maintain the angle at which the molding will
be on thewall.
Instructions for Cutting Crown Molding Angled Between the
Fence and Base of the Saw For All Cuts
1. Angle the molding so the bottom of the molding (part which goes against the wall when
installed) is against the fence and the top of the molding is resting on the saw table, as
shown in FigureEE.
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.
Aluminum Cutting (Fig. FF, GG)
ALWAYS USE THE APPROPRIATE SAW BLADE MADE ESPECIALLY FOR CUTTING ALUMINUM. These
are available at your local
DeWALT
retailer or
DeWALT
service center. Certain workpieces, due to
their size, shape or surface finish, may require the use of a clamp or fixture to prevent movement
during the cut. Position the material so that you will be cutting the thinnest cross section, as
shown in FigureFF. FigureGG illustrates the wrong way to cut theseextrusions.
Use a stick wax cutting lubricant when cutting aluminum. Apply the stick wax cutting lubricant
directly to the saw blade before cutting. Never apply stick wax to a moving blade. The wax,
available at most hardware stores and industrial mill supply houses, provides proper lubrication
and keeps chips from adhering to theblade.
Be sure to properly secureworkpiece.
Refer to Saw Blades under Optional Accessories for correct sawblade.

Bowed Material (Fig. HH, II)
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in Figure HH and never like that
shown in Figure II. Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade near the
completion of thecut.

Cutting Plastic Pipe or Other Round Material
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut just like wood and CLAMPED OR
HELD FIRMLY TO THE FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. This is extremely important when
making anglecuts.
