CUTTING C ROWN
MOULDING (Fig. HH, II)
Your compound miter saw is suited for the difficult task of
cutting crown molding. To fit properly, crown molding
must be compound-mitered with extreme accuracy. The
two surfaces on a piece of crown molding that fit flat
against the ceiling and wall are at angles that, when
added together, equal exactly 90 °.
Most crown moldings have a top rear angle (the section
that fits flat against the ceiling) of 52 ° and a bottom rear
angle (the section that fits flat against the wall) of 38 °.
In order to accurately cut crown molding for a 90 ° inside
or outside corner, lay the molding with its broad back
surface flat on the saw table.
When setting the bevel and miter angles for compound
miters, keep in mind that the angles for crown molding
are very precise and difficult to set exactly. Since it is
very easy for these angles to shift slightly, all settings
should be tested on scrap molding.

CHANGING THE BATTERIES (Fig. J J)
• Unplug your saw.
Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
1. Lift open the battery cover (1).
2. Remove and replace the two batteries.
Note: Replace with batteries that have a rating of 1.5
volts (Number 4 series and AAA size or equivalent).
When replacing the batteries, the battery cover
should be thoroughly cleaned. Use a soft paintbrush
or similar device, to remove all sawdust and debris.
