Crown molding stoppers (optional accessories)
allow easier cuts of crown molding without tilting the
saw blade. Install them on the turn base as shown
in the figures.
Fig. B: At right 45° miter angle
Fig. C: At left 45° miter angle
Position crown molding with its WALL CONTACT
EDGE against the guide fence and its CEILING
CONTACT EDGE against the crown molding stop-
pers as shown in the figure. Adjust the crown mold-
ing 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. Use the sub-fence R to secure the
crown molding more firmly.
7. 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.
8. 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 and
6 mm (1/4”) screws.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a sug-
gested wood facing.
CAUTION:
• Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood
facing.
• When cutting workpieces from 115 mm (4 -1/2”) to
120 mm (4 - 3/4”) high, use a wood facing to
prevent a portion of the workpiece near the guide
fence from being left uncut.
