CUTTING

CROWN MOULDING

One of the many features of your saw is the ease of cut-
ting crown moulding. The following is an example of cut-
ting both inside and outside corners on 52/38° wall
angle crown moulding. NOTE: When cutting 45° wall
angle crown moulding the following procedure for inside
and outside corners is the same with the exception that
the bevel position will always be at 30° and the miter
position will be 35-1/4° to the right or left.
1. Move the table to the 31-5/8° right miter position and
lock the table in position. NOTE: A triangle indicator is
provided on the miter scale to find this angle quickly.
2. Tilt the saw blade to the 33-7/8° left bevel position
and tighten bevel lock handle. NOTE: A triangle indica-
tor is provided on the bevel scale to find this angle
quickly.
3. Place the crown moulding on the table with the
CEILING EDGE of the moulding against the fence, and
make the cut, as shown in Fig. 44. NOTE: The piece of
crown moulding used for the outside corner will always
be on the right hand side of the blade, as shown at (A)
Fig. 44. The piece of crown moulding used for the inside
corner will always be on the left hand side of the blade,
as shown at (B) Fig. 44.
4. To make the matching halves of the inside and outside
corners simply rotate the table to the 31-5/8° left miter
position and tighten table lock handle. NOTE: A triangle
indicator is provided on the miter scale to find this angle
quickly.
5. Place the crown moulding on the table with the WALL
EDGE of the crown moulding against the fence as
shown in Fig. 45, then make the cut. Again, the piece of
crown moulding used for the outside corner will always
be on the right side of the blade, as shown at (C) Fig. 45.
The piece of crown moulding used for the inside corner
will always be on the left side of the blade, as shown at
(D) Fig. 45.
6. Fig. 46, illustrates the two outside corner pieces;
(A) being the piece cut at (A) Fig. 44, and (C) being the
piece cut at (C) Fig. 45.
7. Fig. 47, illustrates the two inside corner pieces;
(B) being the piece cut at (B) Fig. 44, and (D) being the
piece cut at (D) Fig. 45.
