Cutting Crown Moulding Vertically Nested Against Miter
Fence (FIG 30)
Always use a crown moulding fence when cutting crown moulding
angled against the fence. Cutting crown moulding angled against
the fence does not require any special bevel settings. Small
changes in the miter angle can be made without affecting the bevel
angle. When using this method the saw can be quickly and easily
adjusted for corners that are not 90° (square).
When cutting crown moulding in this method, the bottom of the
moulding goes against the fence. Think of the table of the saw
being the ceiling, and the fence as being the wall. Angled "flats"
on back of moulding must rest squarely on the fence and base of
the saw.
The following instructions are for cutting crown moulding for a 90°
corner.

1) Miter RIGHT at 45°
2) Save RIGHT End of Cut
Right Side
1) Miter LEFT at 45°
2) Save LEFT End of Cut
CUTTING WARPED WORKPIECES
NOTE:
It is recommended that you do not cut warped material.
Sometimes you have no choice but to use a piece of warped material. To cut warped workpieces, make sure it is
positioned on the miter saw table with the convex side against the fence. DO NOT place the concave side of the
workpiece against the miter saw fence; when it is cut it will collapse near the completion of the cut, pinching the
blade.
WArNINg:
never place the concave portion of bowed or warped material against the fence.
To avoid possible serious personal injury and possible kickback,
