Cutting Crown Molding Flat on the
Miter Saw Table
The advantage of cutting crown molding flat on the
table is that it is easier to secure the molding at the
correct cutting position. Also larger pieces of crown
molding may be cut lying flat on the miter saw table.
1. Set the bevel and miter angles using the Crown
Molding Miter Angles chart. Tighten the miter lock
lever and the bevel adjustment lever.
2. Using the Positioning section below, correctly
positions the molding.
NOTE: Always make a test cut on scrap material
to confirm all angles are correct.
3. Make the cut according to "Making a Chop Cut".
Cutting Crown Molding Angled Against
the Fence (Nested – in position)
Always use a crown stop (Cat.No. 43-98-0295) when
cutting crown molding angled against the fence. When
cutting crown molding angled against the fence does
not require 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).

MAINTENANCE
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disassemble
the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool
operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger
to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool, battery pack and charger to a MILWAUKEE
service facility for inspection.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with
a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on
the battery pack. If the tool still does not work prop-
erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a
MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.
Adjusting the Miter Saw
This Miter Saw is fully adjusted at the factory. If it is not
accurate due to shipping and handling, please follow
these steps to accurately set up your saw. Once the
saw is properly adjusted, it should remain accurate
°
under normal jobsite and transportation conditions.
Squaring the Blade (90°) to the Fence (0° Miter)
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Place a square against the fence and blade and
ensure that the square is not touching blade teeth
as this will cause an inaccurate measurement.
3. Loosen the miter lock lever and move the saw to
the 0° miter position. Do not tighten the lock lever.
4. If the saw blade is not exactly perpendicular to
the fence, use the supplied wrench to loosen the
screws that hold the miter scale to the table. Move
the scale left or right until the blade is perpendicular
to the fence. Use the square to verify that the blade
is perpendicular to the fence. Retighten the screws.
5. Loosen the miter pointer adjustment screw and
reposition the pointer the so that it indicates ex-
actly zero. Once the pointer is properly positioned,
retighten the miter pointer adjustment screw.
