Cutting Crown Molding - Skil MS6305-00 Manual Del Propietário

Cutting crown molding

Crown molding must be cut exactly to fit properly.
•
Your miter saw has special miter detents at 31.6° left and right and a bevel indicator at 33.9°
•
for cutting crown molding flat on the table.
These special detent angles have been designed into your sliding miter saw for the standard
•
crown molding used in the United States with the following angles:
52° between the back of the molding and the top flat surface that fits against the ceiling.
•
38° between the back of the molding and the bottom flat surface that fits against the wall.
•
NOTICE: These detents cannot be used with 45° crown molding.
Even though these angles are standards, most rooms do not have angles of exactly 90°,
•
therefore, you will need to fine-tune your settings with the miter and bevel scales.
Cutting crown molding flat on the table:
1. Move the sliding fence to the proper
position.
2. Set the bevel and miter angles using the
Chart in this section. Tighten the miter-lock
knob and the bevel-lock knob.
3. Position the molding on the saw table
( Fig.46 ) . Use the chart to determine the
correct position. Clamp the workpiece in
place with the work clamp.
WARNING
with operation. Before switching on the saw,
lower the head assembly to make sure that
the clamp clears the guard and the head
assembly.
4. Activate the switch. Lower the head assembly and make your cut.
5. Wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before returning the head assembly to the
raised position and/or removing the workpiece.
NOTICE: Always make a test cut using scrap to confirm that the angles are correct.
