APPLICATIONS

Do not cut stone, brick, concrete,
WARNING
magnesium, or ferrous metals
(iron, steel, stainless steel, or alloys of these
metals) with this saw.
Do not use abrasive wheels with this saw.
Dust created by cutting these materials and/or
using abrasive cut-off wheels can jam the blade
guard and possibly cause personal injury.
Recommended Materials and Applications
The following materials can be cut with the compound
sliding miter saw. There are many types of saw
blades available. Always use the proper blade for the
particular material and application. Use only 7-1/4"
sliding miter saw blades rated at least 5000 RPM.
• Wood - solid wood, plywood, particle board, MDF
(medium density fiberboard), HDF (high density
fiberboard), melamine laminated particle board,
formica laminates, hardboard (masonite).
• Plastics - PVC, CPVC, ABS, solid surfacing materi-
als (such as Corian
When cutting plastic, avoid overheating the blade
and blade teeth to prevent melting the workpiece.
• Nonferrous Metals - aluminum, brass, copper, and
other non-ferrous materials.
Cutting Non-Square Materials
Cutting Round (Cylindrical) Materials
"V" shaped blocks can be used to support round
materials like closet rod and plastic pipe.
Aluminum Sash and Other
Channel Type and Materials
Aluminum sash material can be supported with blocks
to prevent it from deforming while it is being cut.

Two Methods for Cutting Crown Molding
The angles created on a piece of crown molding that
fits flat against the ceiling and wall will, when added
together, equal 90° (A + B = 90°).The most common
crown molding angles are :
52 /38 : A 52° angle against the ceiling (A) and a 38°
° °
angle against the wall (B). The miter saw has spe-
cial miter settings at 31.6° left and right and a bevel
setting at 33.9° to use when cutting 52°/ 38° crown
molding flat on the miter saw table. These settings
are identified with a diamond mark.
45 /45
: A 45° angle against the ceiling (A) and a 45°
° °
angle against the wall (B). The miter saw has special
miter settings at 35.3° left and right and a bevel set-
ting at 30° to use when cutting 45°/ 45° crown flat
on the miter saw table. These settings are identified
with a black circle.
NOTE: Even though all of these angles are standard,
rooms are very rarely constructed so the corners
are exactly 90°. You will need to "fine tune" these
settings and make necessary adjustments to the
cutting angles.

Cutting Crown Molding Flat on the
Miter Saw Table
The advantage of cutting crown molding flat on the
table is that it is easier to secure the molding at the
correct cutting position. Also larger pieces of crown
molding may be cut lying flat on the miter saw table.
1. Set the bevel and miter angles using the Crown
Molding Miter Angles chart. Tighten the miter lock
lever and the bevel adjustment lever.
2. Using the Positioning section below, correctly
positions the molding.
NOTE: Always make a test cut on scrap material
to confirm all angles are correct.
3. Make the cut according to "Making a Chop Cut".
Cutting Crown Molding Angled Against
the Fence (Nested – in position)
Always use a crown stop (Cat.No. 43-98-0295) when
cutting crown molding angled against the fence. When
cutting crown molding angled against the fence does
not require bevel settings. Small changes in the miter
angle can be made without affecting the bevel angle.
When using this method the saw can be quickly and
easily adjusted for corners that are not 90° (square).
