CUTTING BASE MOLDING (FIG. AA)<br />
Base mold<strong>in</strong>gs and many other mold<strong>in</strong>gs can<br />
be cut on a compound miter saw. The setup of<br />
the saw depends on mold<strong>in</strong>g characteristics and<br />
application, as shown.<br />
Perform practice cuts on scrap material to<br />
achieve best results:<br />
1. Always make sure mold<strong>in</strong>gs rest firmly aga<strong>in</strong>st<br />
fence and table. Use hold-down or C-clamps,<br />
whenever possible, and place tape on the<br />
area be<strong>in</strong>g clamped to avoid marks.<br />
2. Reduce spl<strong>in</strong>ter<strong>in</strong>g by tap<strong>in</strong>g the cut area prior<br />
to mak<strong>in</strong>g cut. Mark cut l<strong>in</strong>e directly on the<br />
tape.<br />
3. Spl<strong>in</strong>ter<strong>in</strong>g typically happens due to wrong<br />
blade application and th<strong>in</strong>ness of the material.<br />

possible before power is applied to the saw.<br />
CUTTING CROWN MOLDING (FIG. BB, CC)<br />
Your compound miter saw is suited for the<br />
difficult task of cutt<strong>in</strong>g crown mold<strong>in</strong>g. To fit<br />
properly, crown mold<strong>in</strong>g must be compoundmiterd<br />
with extreme accuracy.<br />
The two surfaces on a piece of crown mold<strong>in</strong>g<br />
that fit flat aga<strong>in</strong>st the ceil<strong>in</strong>g and wall are at<br />
angles that, when added together equal exactly<br />
90°.<br />
Most crown mold<strong>in</strong>g has a top rear angle (the<br />
section that fits flat aga<strong>in</strong>st the ceil<strong>in</strong>g) of 52°<br />
and a bottom rear angle (the section that fits flat<br />
aga<strong>in</strong>st the wall) of 38°.<br />
In order to accurately cut crown mold<strong>in</strong>g for<br />
a 90° <strong>in</strong>side or outside corner, lay the mold<strong>in</strong>g<br />
with its broad back surface flat on the saw table.<br />
When sett<strong>in</strong>g the bevel and miter angles for<br />
compound miters, remember that the sett<strong>in</strong>gs are<br />
<strong>in</strong>terdependent; chang<strong>in</strong>g one changes the other,<br />
as well.<br />
