IMPROPER HAND POSITION ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR CUTTING CROWN MOLDING Place the molding on the table at an angle between the fence and the saw table, as shown in Figure 25A. Use of the crown MITER molding fence accessory (DW7084) is highly recommended SCALE because of its degree of accuracy and convenience. The crown molding fence accessory is available at extra cost 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 90 degrees are encountered, the saw can be quickly and easily adjusted for them. Use FIG. 20 the crown molding fence accessory (DW7084) 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 base of the saw, as shown in Figure 25A. 2. The angled “flats” on the back of the molding must rest squarely on the fence and base of the saw.
