• Reduce splintering by taping the cut area prior to
making cut. Mark cut line directly on the tape.
• Splintering typically happens due to wrong blade ap-
plication and thinness of the material.
CUTTING CROWN MOULDING (F. 28, 29)
Your compound mitre saw is suited for the difcult task of
cutting crown moulding. To t properly, crown moulding
must be compound-mitreed with extreme accuracy. The
two surfaces on a piece of crown moulding that t at
against the ceiling and wall are at angles that, when added
together, equal exactly 90°.
Most crown moulding has a top rear angle (the section that
ts at against the ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear angle
(the section that ts at against the wall) of 38°.
In order to accurately cut crown moulding for a 90° inside
or outside corner, lay the moulding with its broad back surface at on the saw table. When setting the bevel
and mitre angles for compound mitres, remember the settings are interdependent; changing one changes
the other, as well.

Cut two parallel grooves as shown.
• Use a wood chisel or make multiple passes with a
router to remove the material between the two out-
side grooves to create the groove.
CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL
When cutting warped material, be sure that the convex
side is against the fence. If the workpiece is placed with
the concave side facing the fence, it will pinch the blade
near the completion of the cutting.
AUXILIARY WOOD FENCE
When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in cut-
off pieces of 1” (2.5 cm) or less, it is possible for the saw
blade to catch the cut-off piece and throw it out of the
saw or into the blade guard and housing, possibly causing
damage or injury. To minimize this, an auxiliary wood fence
can be mounted to your saw. Holes are provided in the
saw fence to attach an auxiliary wood fence (this provides
additional depth of cut). This fence should be constructed
of straight auxiliary wood approximately 3/4” (1.9 cm)
thick by 2” (5.1 cm) high by 19” (48.3 cm) long. Attach the
wood fence securely and make a full depth cut to make a
blade slot. Check for interference between the wood fence
and the lower blade guard. Adjust if necessary.
CUTTING BASE MOULDING
Base mouldings and many other mouldings can be cut
on a compound mitre saw. The setup of the saw depends
on moulding characteristics and applications, as shown.
Perform practice cuts on scrap material to achieve best
results:
• Always make sure mouldings rest firmly against
the fence and table. Use hold-down or C-clamps,
whenever possible, and place tape on the area being
clamped to avoid marks.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
Always perform a dry run cut so you can determine if the operation being attempted is possible before
power is applied to the saw.
