Alternative method for cutting crown molding
Place the molding at an angle between the fence (12) and the
saw table (11), with the top side of the molding on the table
and the bottom side of the molding on the fence as shown
in figure S2.
The advantage to cutting crown molding using this method
is that no bevel cut is required. Minute changes in the miter
angle can be made without affecting the bevel angle. This
way,when corners other than 90º are encountered, the saw
can be quickly and easily adjustedfor them.
Instructions for cutting crown molding angled
between the fence and base of the saw for all cuts
This saw can cut up to 14 mm x 92 mm crown molding nested.
Angle the molding so the bottom of the molding (part
u
which goes against the wall when installed) is against the
fence (12) and the top of the molding is resting on the saw
table (11), as shown in figure S2.
The angled "flats" on the back of the molding must rest
u
squarely on the fence and saw table.

Special Cuts
Never make any cut unless the material is secured on the
table and against the fence.
Bowed material (fig. T1, T2)
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in
figure T1 and never like that shown in figure T2. Positioning
the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade near
the completion of the cut.
Cutting round material
Rounded material should be clamped or held firmly to the
fence to keep It from rolling. This is extremely important when
making angle cuts.
Cutting large material (fig. U)
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too
large to fit beneath the lower guard.
To clear the guard over the wood, with the saw off and your
right hand on the operating handle, place your right thumb
outside of the upper portion of the guard and roll the guard up
just enough to clear the wood, as shown in figure U. Release
the guard prior to starting the motor. The guard mechanism
will function properly during the cut. Only do this when neces-
sary.

Lubricate the sliding portions with machine oil to prevent
u
rust.
When storing the tool, pull the carriage toward you fully.
u
Carrying the tool
Make sure the tool is unplugged.
u
Secure the blade at the 0° bevel angle and turn the base
u
to the right mitre angle fully with the slide bar locking scre
(28).
Secure the slide bars after pulling the carriage toward you
u
fully.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the position by
u
pushing in the saw head locking pin (17).
Carry the tool by holding the carry handle (22).
u
If you remove the clamp, dust bag, etc., you can carry the
u
tool more easily.
Carry the tool by one hand holding the carrying handle
u
(22) and one hand holding the tool base.

the tool.
Saw head locking pin (17) is for carrying and storage
purposes only and not for any cutting operations.
