Crown molding stoppers (optional accessories) allow
easier cuts of crown molding without tilting the saw
blade. Install them on the base as shown in the figures.
Position crown molding with its WALL CONTACT EDGE
against the guide fence and its CEILING CONTACT
EDGE against the crown molding stoppers as shown in
the figure. Adjust the crown molding stoppers according
to the size of the crown molding. Tighten the screws to
secure the crown molding stoppers. Refer to the table
(C) for the miter angle.
6. Cutting aluminum extrusion
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks
or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to prevent
deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricant
when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-up
of the aluminum material on the blade.
CAUTION:
• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum extrusions.
Thick aluminum extrusions may come loose during
operation and round aluminum extrusions cannot be
secured firmly with this tool.
7. Wood facing
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts in
workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence
using the holes in the guide fence.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a sug-
gested wood facing.
