• Notes:Position workpiece with its back flat on the
saw table.
• Always place top edge of molding against fence
(Decorative edge is at the bottom of crown mold-
ing.)
• "Spring angle" refers to angle between wall and
crown molding.
• Cutting crown molding flat on the table can be
done either as a chop cut or a slide cut depending
on the width of the workpiece.
1. For 90º corner, set the bevel and miter angles
using Charts below. Tighten the miter lock knob
and the bevel lock lever (Figure 39).
2. Position molding on saw table. Clamp workpiece
in place using the quick clamp.
Use clamping position that does
not interfere with operation. Before
switching on, lower head assembly to make sure
clamp clears guard and head assembly.
3. Follow procedures for either chop cut or slide cut
(see page 26).
4. Wait until blade comes to a complete stop before
returning head assembly to the raised position
