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 base of the saw, as
shown in Figure U.
2. The angled "flats" on the back of the molding must rest squarely on the fence and base of
the saw.

Special Cuts
NEVER MAKE ANY CUT UNLESS THE MATERIAL IS SECURED ON THE TABLE AND AGAINST
THE FENCE.

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 V. Figure W illustrates the wrong way to cut these extrusions. Use a stick wax
cutting lubricant when cutting aluminum. Apply the stick wax 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 Accessories for correct saw blade.

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.
Cutting Large Material (Fig. L)
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit beneath the lower guard.
To clear the guard over the wood, with the motor off and your right hand on the operating
handle, place your right thumb outside of the upper portion of the guard and roll the guard
up just enough to clear the wood, as shown in Figure L. Release the guard prior to starting the
motor. The guard mechanism will function properly during the cut. Only do this when necessary.
NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.
