Crown Molding Angled to Table and
Fence
Be aware of the path of the
saw blade. Make a dry run
with the battery pack disconnected and the
saw switched OFF by conducting a simulated
cutting cycle, and observe the projected path
of the saw blade. Keep hands at least six (6)
inches (152mm) away from the projected path
of the saw blade.
The preferred method for cutting crown mold-
ing with this saw is with the molding lying flat
on the table.
The advantage to cutting molding angled against
fence (Fig. 47, 11) is that no bevel setting is re-
quired. Only the miter angle is adjusted.
The maximum crown molding width that can
be cut and angled to table and fence is 6-1/2"
(165mm).
When cutting crown molding in this fashion it is
recommended to purchase and use the Crown
Stop Set (optional) (Fig. 47).

Follow these instructions for cutting crown
molding angled to table and fence.
1. Position the molding so the bottom edge
(Fig. 47), the decorative part, which is in-
stalled against the wall, is against the fence
(11).
2. For 90° corner, set the miter angle using
chart below. Tighten the miter lock knob
(17).
3. Support crown molding against the fence
(11). (See "Body and Hand Position" on
page 29.)
4. Follow either the procedure "Chop Cuts" on
page 35 or "Slide Cuts" on page 36.
5. Wait until saw blade comes to a complete
stop before returning head assembly (24) to
the raised position and then remove work-
piece.
NOTE: Always take a test cut using scrap to con-
firm correct angles.
