Cutting crown molding
Crown molding must be cut exactly to fit
•
properly.
Your miter saw has special miter detents at
•
31.6° left and right and a bevel indicator at
33.9° for cutting crown molding flat on the
table.
These special detent angles have been
•
incorporated into your miter saw for the
standard crown molding used in the United
States with the following angles:
52° between the back of the molding and the
•
top flat surface that fits against the ceiling.
38° between the back of the molding and the
•
bottom flat surface that fits against the wall.
These detents cannot be used with 45° crown molding.
NOTICE
Even though these angles are standards, most rooms do not have angles of exactly 90°,
•
therefore, you will need to fine-tune your settings with the miter and bevel scales.
Cutting crown molding flat on the table:
1. Set the bevel and miter angles using the Chart in this section. Press down the miter-lock
lever and tighten the bevel-lock knob.
2. Position the molding on the saw table ( Fig. 39 ) . Use the chart to determine the correct
position. Clamp the workpiece in place with the work clamp.
WARNING
clamp clears the guard and the head assembly.
4. Turn the saw on. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed. Lower the
head assembly and make your cut.
5. Release the power switch and wait until the blade comes to a complete stop before
returning the head assembly to the raised position and/or removing the workpiece.
Always make a test cut using scrap to confirm that the angles are correct.
