Saw Operations
Crown Molding Angled to Table and fence
The preferred method for cutting crown molding with this saw is with the molding laying flat on the table.
•The advantage to cutting moldings angled against fence is that no bevel setting is required. Only the miter angle is adjusted.
•The maximum crown molding width that can be cut and angled to table and fence is 6".
•When cutting crown molding in this fashion it is recommended to purchase and use the optional MS 1221 Horizontal Clamp and Crown Molding Stop Accessory.
follow these instructions for cutting crown molding angled to table and fence.
1.Position the molding so the bottom (decorative part, which is installed against the wall) is against the fence.
2.For 90º corner, set the miter angle using Chart below. Tighten the miter lock knob (Figure 36).
3.Support crown molding against the fence (see “Body and Hand Position” on page 19.)
4.Follow the procedures for chop or slide cut (see page 23).
5.Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before
returning head assembly to the raised position and/or removing workpiece.
NOTE: AlWAYS TAKE A TEST CUT USING SCRAp TO CONfIRM CORRECT ANGlES.
