1. Press cutting

Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the tool

without the blade making any contact and wait until the

blade attains full speed before lowering. Then gently

lower the handle to the fully lowered position to cut the

workpiece. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool

and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COM-

PLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully ele-

vated position.

2. Miter cutting

Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the miter

angle”.

3. Cutting crown and cove moldings

There are two common types of crown moldings and one

type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle crown molding,

45° wall angle crown molding and 45° wall angle cove

molding. See illustrations.

There are crown and cove molding joints which are

made to fit “Inside” 90° corners ((1) and (2) in Fig. A) and

“Outside” 90° corners ((3) and (4) in Fig. A).

Measuring

Measure the wall length and adjust workpiece on table to

cut wall contact edge to desired length. Always make

sure that cut workpiece length at the back of the work-

piece is the same as wall length. Adjust cut length for

angle of cut. Always use several pieces for test cuts to

check the saw angles.
