CUTTING

CROWN MOULDING

One of the many features of your saw is the ease of cut- ting crown moulding. The following is an example of cut- ting both inside and outside corners on 52/38° wall angle crown moulding. NOTE: When cutting 45° wall angle crown moulding the following procedure for inside and outside corners is the same with the exception that the bevel position will always be at 30° and the miter position will be 35-1/4° to the right or left.

1.Move the table to the 31-5/8° right miter position and lock the table in position. NOTE: A triangle indicator is provided on the miter scale to find this angle quickly.

2.Tilt the saw blade to the 33-7/8° left bevel position and tighten bevel lock handle. NOTE: A triangle indica- tor is provided on the bevel scale to find this angle quickly.

3.Place the crown moulding on the table with the CEILING EDGE of the moulding against the fence, and make the cut, as shown in Fig. 44. NOTE: The piece of crown moulding used for the outside corner will always be on the right hand side of the blade, as shown at (A) Fig. 44. The piece of crown moulding used for the inside corner will always be on the left hand side of the blade, as shown at (B) Fig. 44.

4.To make the matching halves of the inside and outside corners simply rotate the table to the 31-5/8° left miter position and tighten table lock handle. NOTE: A triangle indicator is provided on the miter scale to find this angle quickly.

5.Place the crown moulding on the table with the WALL EDGE of the crown moulding against the fence as shown in Fig. 45, then make the cut. Again, the piece of crown moulding used for the outside corner will always be on the right side of the blade, as shown at (C) Fig. 45. The piece of crown moulding used for the inside corner will always be on the left side of the blade, as shown at

(D) Fig. 45.
