ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR CUTTING CROWN MOLDING (FIG. 27)
Place the molding on the table at an angle between the fence and the saw table, as shown
in Figure 27. Use of the crown molding fence accessory (DW7084) is highly recommended
because of its degree of accuracy and convenience (Refer to Optional Accessories). The
crown molding fence accessory is available for purchase from your local dealer.
The advantage to cutting crown molding using this method is that no bevel cut is required.
Minute changes in the miter angle can be made without affecting the bevel angle. This way,
when corners other than 90º are encountered, the saw can be quickly and easily adjusted
for them. Use the crown molding fence accessory to maintain the angle at which the molding
will be on the wall.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING CROWN MOLDING ANGLED BETWEEN THE
FENCE AND BASE OF THE SAW FOR ALL CUTS
1. Angle the molding so the bottom of the molding (part which goes against the wall when
installed) is against the fence and the top of the molding is resting on the saw table, as
shown in Figure 27.
2. The angled "flats" on the back of the molding must rest squarely on the fence and saw
table.

Certain workpieces, due to their size, shape or surface finish, may require the use of a clamp
or fixture to prevent movement during the cut. Position the material so that you will be cutting
the thinnest cross section, as shown in Figure 28. Figure 29 illustrates the wrong way to cut
these extrusions.
Use a stick wax cutting lubricant when cutting aluminum. Apply the stick wax cutting lubricant
directly to the saw blade before cutting. Never apply stick wax to a moving blade. The
wax, available at most hardware stores and industrial mill supply houses, provides proper
lubrication and keeps chips from adhering to the blade.
Be sure to properly secure workpiece.
Refer to Saw Blades under Optional Accessories for correct saw blade.

BOWED MATERIAL (FIG. 30, 31)
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in Figure 30 and never like that
shown in Figure 31. Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade near
the completion of the cut.

CORRECT
CUTTING PLASTIC PIPE OR OTHER ROUND MATERIAL
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut just like wood and CLAMPED
OR HELD FIRMLY TO THE FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. This is extremely
important when making angle cuts.
