ENGLISH
Attach the wood fence securely and make a full depth cut
to make a blade slot.
Check for interference between the wood fence and the
lower blade guard. Adjust if necessary.
NOTE: This auxiliary fence is used only with the saw blade
in the 0° bevel position (90° to the table). The auxiliary
wood fence must be removed when bevel cutting.
Cutting Base Molding (Fig. LL)
Base moldings and many other moldings can be cut on a
compound miter saw. The setup of the saw depends on
molding characteristics and application, as shown. Perform
practice cuts on scrap material to achieve best results:
1. Always make sure moldings rest firmly against fence
and table. Use hold-down, crown molding vice or
C-clamps, whenever possible, and place tape on the
area being clamped to avoid marks.
2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut area prior to
making the cut. Mark the cut line directly on the tape.
3. Splintering typically happens due to an incorrect blade
application and thinness of the material.

Cutting Crown Molding (Fig. MM, NN)
Your compound miter saw is suited for the difficult task
of cutting crown molding. To fit properly, crown molding
must be compound-mitered with extreme accuracy.
The two surfaces on a piece of crown molding that fit
flat against the ceiling and wall are at angles that, when
added together, equal exactly 90°.
Most crown molding has a top rear angle (the section that
fits flat against the ceiling) of 52° and a bottom rear angle
(the section that fits flat against the wall) of 38°.
In order to accurately cut crown molding for a 90° inside or
outside corner, lay the molding with its broad back surface
flat on the saw table.
When setting the bevel and miter angles for compound
miters, remember that the settings are interdependent.
