rooms have exactly square corners, all settings should be tested on
scrap molding.
PRETESTING WITH SCRAP MATERIAL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
Alternative method for Cutting Crown Molding
Place the molding at an angle between the fence
table 43 , as shown in Figure U.
The advantage to cutting crown molding using this method is that no bevel
cut is required. Minute changes in the mitre angle can be made without
affecting the bevel angle. This way, when corners other than 90º are
encountered, the saw can be quickly and easily adjusted for them.
Instructions for Cutting Crown Molding Angled Between
the Fence and Base of the Saw for All Cuts
This saw can cut up to 14 mm x 92 mm crown molding nested.
1. Place the molding at an angle between the fence
table 43 , as shown in Figure U.
2. The angled "flats" on the back of the molding must rest squarely on the
fence and saw table.

Special Cuts
NEVER MAKE ANY CUT UNLESS THE MATERIAL IS SECURED ON THE
TABLE AND AGAINST THE FENCE.
Bowed Material (Fig. V, W)
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in Figure V and
never like that shown in Figure W. Positioning the material incorrectly will
cause it to pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.
Cutting Round Material
ROUNDED MATERIAL SHOULD BE CLAMPED OR HELD FIRMLY TO THE
FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. This is extremely important when
making angle cuts.
Cutting Large Material (Fig. X)
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit
beneath the lower guard. To clear the guard over the wood, with the saw
off and your right hand on the operating handle, place your right thumb
outside of the upper portion of the guard and roll the guard up just enough
to clear the wood, as shown in Figure X. Release the guard prior to starting
the motor. The guard mechanism will function properly during the cut. Only
do this when necessary. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD
OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.
