INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING CROWN MOLDING
ANGLED BETWEEN THE FENCE AND BASE OF THE
SAW FOR ALL CUTS:
1. Angle the molding so the bottom of the molding (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, as shown in Figure 18A.
2. The angled "flats" on the back of the molding must rest
squarely on the fence and base of the saw.

Special Cuts
NEVER MAKE ANY CUT UNLESS THE MATERIAL IS
SECURED ON THE TABLE AND AGAINST THE FENCE.
ALUMINUM CUTTING
ALWAYS USE THE APPROPRIATE SAW BLADE MADE
ESPECIALLY FOR CUTTING ALUMINUM. These are
available at your local D
WALT retailer or D
E
center. Certain workpieces, due to their size, shape or
surface finish, may require the use of a clamp or fixture to
prevent movement during the cut. Position the material so
that you will be cutting the thinnest cross section, as shown
in Figure 19. Figure 19A illustrates the wrong way to cut
these extrusions. Use a stick wax cutting lubricant when
cutting aluminum. Apply the stick wax directly to the saw
blade before cutting. Never apply stick wax to a moving
blade.
The wax, available at most hardware stores and industrial mill
supply houses, provides proper lubrication and keeps chips
from adhering to the blade.
Be sure to properly secure workpiece.
Refer to Saw Blades under Optional Accessories for
correct saw blade.
BOWED MATERIAL
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown
in Figure 20 and never like that shown in Figure 20A.
Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the
blade near the completion of the cut.
CUTTING PLASTIC PIPE OR OTHER ROUND MATERIAL
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut
just like wood and CLAMPED OR HELD FIRMLY TO THE

important when making angle cuts.
CUTTING LARGE MATERIAL
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too
large to fit beneath the blade guard. If this occurs, simply
place your right thumb on the upper side of the guard and
roll the guard up just enough to clear the workpiece, as
shown in Figure 21. Release the lower blade guard before
turning the saw on and beginning the cut. Avoid doing this
as much as possible, but if need be, the saw will operate
properly and make the bigger cut. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR
OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING
THIS SAW. NEVER RAISE THE LOWER GUARD ASSEMBLY
MANUALLY UNLESS THE BLADE IS STOPPED.
SPECIAL SET-UP FOR WIDE CROSSCUTS
Your saw can cut very wide [up to 10" (406 mm)] workpieces
when a special set up is used. To set the saw up for these
workpieces, follow these steps:
1. Remove both left and right sliding fences from the saw
and set aside. To remove them, unscrew the fence

knobs several turns and slide each fence outward.
Adjust and lock the miter control so that it is at 0° miter.
2. Make a platform using a piece of 1.5 inch (38 mm) thick
particleboard or similar flat strong 1.5" (38 mm) thick
wood to the dimensions: 10" x 24" (254 x 610 mm). The
platform must be flat otherwise the material could move
during cutting and cause injury.
3. Mount the 10" x 24" (254 x 610 mm) platform to the saw
using 4 three-inch (76 mm) long wood screws through
the holes in the base fence (Fig. 22). Four screws
must be used to properly secure the material. When
the special set up is used, the platform will be cut into
two pieces. Ensure the screws are tightened properly
otherwise material could loosen and cause injury. Ensure
the platform is firmly flat on the table, against the fence,
and centered evenly from left to right.
