CUTTING MOLDING USING THE CROWN MOLD=
ING STOP
See Figures 43 - 44.
To use this method for accurately cutting crown molding
for a 90° inside or outside corner, place the crown molding
upside down on the miter table.
Keep in mind that the angles for crown moldings are very
precise and difficult to set. Since it is very easy for these
angles to shift, all settings should first be tested on scrap
molding. Also most walls do not have angles of exactly
90°, therefore, you will need to fine tune your settings.
When cutting crown molding by this method the bevel
angle should be set at 0°. The miter angle should be set at
45° either right or left, depending on the desired cut for the
application.
Using the markings on the throat plate, you can accurately
cut All Standard (U.S.) with 52° and 38°angles in sizes
of 2-3/4 in., 3-5/8 in., 4-5/8 in., and 5-1/4. You cannot
use the markings on the throat plate when cutting crown
molding with 45° and 45°angles.
[] Loosen the crown molding stop by turning the knob
counterclockwise.
[] Place the stop in the hole on either the left or the right
side of the saw's base. See figure 43.
[] With the bottom of the molding (wall side) against the
miter fence and the top of the molding (ceiling side)
against the miter table, align with the desired mark on
the throat plate then spin the crown molding stop until
it fits snuggly against the crown molding.
[] Secure the crown molding stop in place by turning the
knob clockwise.
[] Hold the crown molding in place with your hand (the
side not secured with the stop).
NOTE: NEVER place your hand inside the "No Hands"
zone while the saw is on.
[] Grasp the saw handle firmly then squeeze the switch
trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach
maximum speed.
[] Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
[] Release the switch trigger and allow the blade to stop
rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. Wait
until the electric brake stops blade from turning before
removing the workpiece from miter table.
