CROWN MOLDING LYING FLAT ON TABLE
NOTE: Position workpiece with its back flat on the saw
table.
Always place top edge of molding against fence (deco-
rative edge is at the bottom of crown molding.)
"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.
Refer to special auxiliary fence for narrow cutoffs when
cutting crown flat on table (see page 57).
1.
For 90° corner, set the bevel 36 and miter 15 angles
using charts below. Tighten the miter lock knob 12
and the bevel lock lever 14.
2.
Position molding on saw table. Clamp workpiece in
place using the quick clamp 30.
Use clamping position that
does not interfere with oper-
ation. Before switching "ON", lower head assembly
to make sure clamp clears guard and head assembly.
Be aware of the path of the
saw blade. Make a dry run
with the saw Off by conducting a simulated cutting
cycle, and observe the projected path of the saw
blade. Keep hands at least six (6) inches (152mm)
away from the projected path of the saw blade.
3.
Follow procedures for either chop cut or slide cut
(see pages 42–43).
4.
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.
