OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
29. Cutting Crown Molding against the Miter
Fence
To nest pieces of crown molding less than 3-5/8 in.
tall:
a. Remove the battery pack from the saw.
b. Set the bevel angle at 0° and the miter angle at
45°, to either the left or the right as needed.
c. Lay the crown molding on the saw with its
bottom edge resting at a natural angle flush
against the fence and its top edge resting flush
against the miter table.
d. Secure the crown molding against miter fence
with a spring clamp and hold the crown
molding securely. Make sure that the work
piece is clamped firmly against the table and
the fence.
e. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry dun of the cutting operation to make sure that no
problems will occur when the cut is made.
f. Turn the sliding-lock knob (AB) counterclockwise to release the slide bar. Slide the saw
arm toward the operator.
g. Attach the battery pack to the saw.
h. Before turning the saw on, lower the saw arm to make sure that lower guard and the saw
arm clear the clamp.
i. Turn on On/Off the switch (B). Always allow the blade to reach full speed before cutting.
Lower the saw arm and make your cut.
j. Wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before returning the saw arm to the raised
position and/or removing the work piece.
NOTE: The advantage to cutting crown molding using this method is that no bevel cut is
required. Minor 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.
See the following table for correct miter settings.
Angle the molding so the bottom of the molding (the part which goes against the wall when
installed) is against the fence and the top of the molding is resting on the base of the saw (Fig 29).
