CUTTING MOLDING USING THE CROWN MOLD-
iNG STOP
See Figures 39 - 40.
To use this method for accurately cutting crown molding
for a 90 inside or outside corner, place the crown molding
upside down on the miter table.
Keep in mind that the angles for crown moldings are very
precise and difficult to set. Since it is very easy for these
angles to shift, all settings should first be tested on scrap
molding. Also most wails do not have angles of exactly
90, therefore, you will need to fine tune your settings.
When cutting crown molding by this method the bevel
angle should be set at 0. The miter angle should be set at
45 either right or Idt, depending on the desired cut for the
application.
Using the markings on the throat plate, you can accurately
cut All Standard (U.S.) crown molding with 52 and 38
angles in sizes of 2-3/4 in., 3-5/8 in., and 4-5/8 in. You
cannot use the markings on the throat plate when cutting
crown molding with 45 angles.
[] Loosen the crown molding stop by turning the knob
counterclockwise.
[] Place the stop in the hole on either the left or the right
side of the saw's base. See Figure 39.
[] With the bottom of the molding (wall side) against the
miter fence and the top of the molding (ceiling side)
against the miter table, align with the desired mark on
the throat plate then spin the crown molding stop unti!
it fits snuggly against the crown molding.
[] Secure the crown molding stop in place by turning the
knob clockwise.
[] Hold the crown molding in place with your hand (the
side not secured with the stop).
NOTE: NEVER have your hand inside the no hands
zone while the saw is on.
[] S!owly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
[] Release the switch trigger and allow the blade to stop
rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. Wait
until the electric brake stops blade from turning before
removing the workpiece from miter table.
