Thank you purchasing this product. Crown-Cut is the easiest way to cut crown and cove moulding because it holds the
moulding at its intended angle, and locks it in place while you cut it. You do not use nor need complicated compound
cuts with this tool! Please take time to read through this entire manual before using this tool.
With Crown-Cut you must use the "upside down and backwards" cutting method. This means you always cut the
moulding upside down. To understand why we cut the moulding upside down, it may help to visualize the miter saw table
as the ceiling, and the the miter saw fence as the wall. In other words, imagine that it's the saw that is upside down, not
the moulding! See figure A, below. Why it's also called "backwards" is because the left piece on the wall is the right piece
on the saw, and the right piece on the wall is the left piece on the saw. This makes sense because you're cutting the
moulding upside down. In other words, left is right, and right is left. Be sure to always cut the moulding upside down and
follow the cutting guides on the tool.
Please consult the many DIY books and articles on installing moulding, as this is beyond the scope of this manual. Also,
be sure to check our website for new information about this tool. We can tell you from experience that most mistakes
happen from incorrect cuts or incorrect measuring. Crown-Cut is your solution for incorrect cuts. You are the solution for
incorrect measuring. Measuring twice and cutting once is always good advice. For more accurate results, use the help of
another person when measuring your moulding lengths.
Adjust Crown-Cut to fit moulding
1. Adjust fence riser.
Be sure to load the moulding upside down. The fence risers should
extend to the top of the moulding, just enough to support it. Both
mating surfaces on the moulding should fit as closely to the tool as
possible. Tighten all screws, knobs, and bolts before use. Store the
risers in the down position when not needed for larger moulding.

Figure A
Here the moulding and Crown-Cut are
purposely inverted to illustrate why you
load the moulding upside down. As you
can see, the moulding is now shown in its
proper orientation!
Are you coping?
Coping inside miters still
requires one inside miter cut,
which Crown-Cut will do. And
remember, you cannot cope
outside miter joints. For these
cuts you must use Crown-Cut.
