Crown Molding Lying Flat on Table
Use clamping position that
does not interfere with op-
eration. Before switching "ON", lower head as-
sembly to make sure clamp clears guard and
head assembly.
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.
NOTE: Position workpiece with its back flat on
the saw table (Fig. 48, 19).

Always place top edge of molding against fence
(11). (The 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 (19) can
be done either as a chop cut or a slide cut de-
pending on the width of the workpiece.
1. For 90° corner, set the bevel and miter
angles, see the table "Miter and Bevel Set-
tings for Standard Crown Molding Cuts
(With Molding Flat on Table)" on page 45.
Tighten the miter lock knob (17) and the
bevel lock knob (Fig. 44, 30).
2. Position molding on saw table (Fig. 48, 19).
Clamp workpiece in place using the quick
clamp (40).
3. Follow either the procedure "Chop Cuts" on
page 35 or "Slide Cuts" on page 36.
4. Wait until saw blade comes to a complete
stop before returning head assembly (Fig.
47, 24) to the raised position and then re-
move workpiece.
NOTE: Always take a cut using scrap to confirm
correct angles.
See the table
tings for Standard
(With Molding Flat on Table)" on page 45 for
helpful hints on cutting crown molding for cor-
ners that have 90° angles.
