Crown Molding Laying Flat on Table
Notes: Position workpiece with its back flat on the
saw table.
Always
place top edge of molding against fence
(Decorative edge is at the bottom of crown molding.)
• "Spring angle" refers to angle between wall and
crown molding.
• Cutting crown molding flat on the table can be done
either as a chop cut or a slide cut depending on the
width of the workpiece.
1. For 90 ° corner, set the bevel and miter angles
using Charts below. Tighten the miter lock knob
and the bevel lock lever.
2. Position molding on saw table. Clamp workpiece in
place using the quick clamp.
Use clamping position that does not
interfere
with
operation.
Before
switching
on, lower head assembly
to make sure
clamp clears guard and head assembly.
3. Follow procedures for either chop cut or slide cut
(see page 26).
4. Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before
returning
head assembly
to the raised position
and/or removing workpiece.
