additional safety instructions for miter saw
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert
and knowing how your miter saw works
BEFORE USING THE SAW:
WARNING: TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD
CAUSE SERIOUS, PERMANENT INJURY, DO NOT
PLUG THE SAW IN UNTIL THE FOLLOWING STEPS
HAVE BEEN SATISFACTORILY COMPLETED.
1. Assembly and alignment.
2. Learn the function and prope_ use of:
a. The on-off switch,
b. The upper and lower blade guards
c The arbor lock and handle latch.
d. The bevel clamp, fence clamps, and miter lock
handle.
3. Read and understand all safety instructions and
operating procedures throughout the manual.
4. Read the following label on the miter saw:
_AFCTY ................................ ]FOR YOUR OWN _ L o..... _=_.,_*, ....... g ...... !
WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVINGTHE SAW:
1. To avoid iniury from unexpected saw movement:
a Place the saw on a firm level surface where there
is plenty of room for handling and properly sup-
porting the workpiece.
b Support the saw, so the table is level and the saw
does not rock.
c. Bolt or clamp the saw to its support.
2. Before moving the saw, lock the miter, bevel and
power-head positions Unplug electric cord.
3 To avoid back injury, get help when you need to lift
the saw more than 10 inches. Hold the too! close to
your body. Bend your knees so you can lift with your
legs, not your back. Lift by using the hand-hold areas
at the bottom of the base. Never carry the tool by
the cord or power head handle. Damage to insulation
could cause an electric shock. Damage to wire con-
nections could cause a fire.
4. Place the saw so others will stay out from behind it.
Thrown debris could injure people in its path.
BEFORE EACH USE:
1. Inspect your saw. If any part of this miter saw is
missing, or bent, or has failed in any way, or any
electrical parts don't work properly, turn the saw off
and unplug the saw. Replace damaged, missing, or
failed parts before using the saw again.
2. Plan Your Work to protect your eyes, hands,
face, ears.
a. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply
with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package). Using any
power tool can result in foreign objects being
thrown into the eyes, which can result in perma- _,.o'-
nent eye damage. Safety goggles are available .._
at Sears retail catalog stores. Use of glasses or
use of goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z871
could result in severe injury from breakage of the
eye protection
WEAR YOUR
b. For dusty operations, wear a face shield along
with safety goggles.
c. To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces:
1. Choose the right 10-inch diameter blade for
the material and the type of cutting you plan
to do, Use this miter saw to cut only wood,
wood-like products or soft metals like
aluminum Other materials may shatter, grab
at the blade, or create other dangers.
2. Make sure the direction of rotation arrow on
the blade matches the direction arrow on the
saw, The blade teeth should always point
downward at the front of the Saw
3. Make sure the blade is sharp, undamaged
and properly aligned. With the saw unplugged,
push the power-head all the way down. Hand
spin the blade and check for clearace. Tilt the
power-head to 45 degree bevel and repeat
the check. If the blade hits anything, make
the adjustments shown in the Maintaining
Maximum .Cutting Capacity section.
a. Make sure the blade and arbor collars are
clean.
5. Make sure the collars' recessed sides are fac-
ing toward the blade.
6. Make sure the recessed side of the blade
washer (just under the arbor screw head)
faces the collar
7. Using _/5-inch box end wrench, make sure the
arbor cap screw retaining the blade collars is
firmly hand tightened.
8. Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and
there is no excessive play in any parts.
9. Never cut FREEHAND:
a. Brace your workpiece solidly against the
fence and table top so it will not rock or
twist during the cut. Make sure no debris
is caught beneath the workpiece.
b. Make sure no gaps between the work-
piece, fence and table will let the workpiece
shift after it is cut in two.
c. Use jigs, fixtures or a different tool for un-
stable workpieces 3
10. Never out more than one workpiece at atime.
11. Make sure the cut off piece can move side-
ways after it's cut off. Otherwise, it could
get wedged against the blade and thrown
violently.
12. Use extra caution with large, very small or
awkward workpieces:
a. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses,
blocks, etc.) for any workpieces large
enough to tip when not held down to the
table top.
b. Do not use this saw to cut pieces too
small to let you easily hold the work while
you keep the thumb side of your index
(pointer) finger against the outside edge
of the fence.
c. When cutting irregularly shaped work-
pieces, plan your work so it wil! not slip
and pinch the blade. A piece of molding,
for exarnple, must tie flat or be held by a
fixture or jig that will not let it twisL rock
or slip while being cut.
d. Properly support round material such as
dowel rods, or tubing. They have a ten-
dency to roll while being cut, causing the
blade to "bite." To avoid this, always use
a fixture designed to properly hold your
work piece.
13. Make sure there are no nails or foreign ob-
jects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.
14. Make sure bystanders are clear of the tool
and workpiece. Keep them clear of the area
behind the saw where debris will be thrown.
15. Never turn your miter saw "ON" before clear-
ing everything except the workpiece and
related support devices off the table.
d. To avoid risk of hearing damage, wear ear plugs
or muffs during extended periods of operation.
e. To avoid being suddenly pulled into the blade:
1. Do not wear gloves.
2. Remove all jewelry and loose clothing.
3. Tie back long hair.
4. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
f. To avoid injury from accidental starting, always
unplug saw before disconnecting the guard, in-
stalling or removing any blade, accessory or
attachment, or making any adjustments.
g. To avoid an electrical shock, make sure your
fingers do not touch the metal prongs on the plug
when inserting or removing the plug to or from
a live outlet.
h. Never put lubricants on the blade while it's
spinning.
i. To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use
the saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases.
j. To avoid injury from unsafe accessories, use only
accessories shown on the recommended acces-
sories list in this manual.
WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING:
WARNING: DON'T ALLOW FAMILIARITY (GAINED
FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR MITER SAW) TO
CAUSE A CARELESS MISTAKE. ALWAYS RE-
MEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SEC-
OND IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A SEVERE INJURY.
1. Before actually cutting with the saw, let it run for a
while If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it
vibrates excessively, stop immediately. ]-urn the saw
off. Unplug the saw. Do not restart until finding and
correcting the problem
2. Neve_ confine the piece being cut off. Never hold it
clamp it, touch it, or use length stops against it It
must be free to move sideways. If confined, it could
get wedged against the blade and thrown violently
3. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause a hand to move into the blade
4. Let the blade reach full speed before cutting
5. Feed the saw into the workpiece only fast enough
to let the blade cut without bogging down or binding
6. Before freeing jammed material, release switch and
unplug the saw. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
7. After finishing a cut, keep holding the power-head
down. release the switch, and wait for all mowng
parts to stop before moving your hands

WARNING: TO AVOID ELECTRICAL HAZARDS,
FIRE HAZARDS, OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL, USE
PROPER CIRCUIT PROTECTION. YOUR SAW IS
WIRED AT THE FACTORY FOR 120V OPERATION.
CONNECT TO A 120V, 15-AMP, BRANCH CIRCUIT
AND USE A 15-AMP TIME DELAY FUSE OR CIRCUIT
BREAKER. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF POWER
CORD IS WORN OR CUT, OR DAMAGED IN ANY
WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
DOUBLE INSULATED
The miter saw is double insulated to provide a double
thickness of insulation between you and the tool's elec-
trical system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from
the internal metal motor components with protecting
insulation.
Your unit has a plug that looks like the one shown below.
This power tool is equipped with a 2-conductor cord
listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). The plug
permits you to use any conventional !20-volt electrical
outlet without necessity for maintaining a ground
connection.
CAUTION: Double insulation does not take the
place of normal safety precautions when operating
this tool.
DANGER: To avoid electrocution:
1. Use only identical replacement parts when servicing
a tool with double insulation. Servicing should be
performed by a qualified service technician.
2. Do not use {n rain or where floor is wet
This tool is intended for indoor residential use only.
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
CAUTION: To avoid motor damage, this motor
should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to
keep sawdust from interfering with normal motor
ventilation.
1. Connect this tool to a 120V, 15-amp branch circuit
with a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
Using the wrong s_ze fuse can damage the motor.
2. If the motor won't start, release the trigger switch
immediately. UNPLUG THE TOOL. Check the saw
blade to make sure it turns freely. If the blade is free,
try to start the motor again, tf the motor still does
not start, refer to the "Motor Trouble-Shooting Chart."
3. If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting wood, re-
lease the trigger switch, unplug the tool, and free
the blade from the wood. The motor may now be
restarted and the cut finished.
4. Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip fre-
quently if:
a. MOTOR IS OVERLOADEDiQverloading can
occur if you feed too rapidly or make too many
start!stops in a short time.
b. Voltages not more than 10% above or below the
nameplate voltage can handle normal loads. For
heavy loads, however, the voltage at motor
terminals must equal the voltage specified on
nameplate.
5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incor-
rect connections, overload, low voltage (such as
small size wire in the supply circuit) or to overly long
supply circuit wire Always check the connections,
the load and the supply circuit whenever motor
doesn't work well. Check wire sizes and length with
the Wire Size Chart below,
WIRE SIZES
The use of any extension cord will Cause some loss of
power, To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-
heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to
determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension
cord.
For orcuits that are farther than 100 feet away from
electrical service box, the w_re s_ze must be increased
proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the
saw motor.

Assembly and Alignment
Step One--Blade Square to Table
NOTE: The miter saw was assembled, aligned, and
inspected before shipment. Alignment should be
checked and any adjustments made to insure accurate
cuts.
1. Check miter lock handle setting The miter lock han-
dle should be at the 0° position. To reset the miter
angle, turn the miter lock handle counter clockwise
and press down the index spring.
2. Lower the blade and lock the handle latch Use the
combination square to check blade squareness to
table. If the blade does not contact the ful! length of
the square, follow the alignment procedure.
a. Loosen bevel lock handle.
b. Grasping meta! upper guard, move the cutting
head left or right until blade makes contact with
the full length of the square.
c. Tighten the bevel lock handle.
3. Check the bevel indicator. If indicator needs adjust-
ment use a phillips screwdriver and slide the
indicator to the 0 ° on the scale.
Step Two--Checking and Aligning Blade with Turn
Table Slot
1 The blade should look like it's parallel to the sides
of the turn table slot. The blade should be 1/8"closer
to left side than right,
2. If blade looks parallel with turn table slot proceed
to step three. If necessary, realign blade with turn
table slot, adjust as follows.
a. Use a %d' hex "U' wrench to loosen (but do not
remove) the two cap screws that attach pivot
support to turn table. Move blade power-head so
it is parallel with turn table slot. Securely tighten
cap screws. Recheck blade position and readjust
if necessary, Always check blade clearance to
table when the miter saw is fully tilted to the left.

Step Three--Checking and Adjusting Blade Square-
ness to Fence (Front Fence Position)
1 To check blade squareness to fence, use a combina-
tion square Place the square against the fence and
next to the blade as illustrated. Place the square so
the set in the teeth won't hold it from the blade. The
blade should contact the full length of the square.
2. If blade contacts full length of square, proceed to
next step, If blade is not square to the fence, follow
the alignment procedure.
a Loosen miter lock handle a half turn The latch
handle should still be secured with btade in low-
ered position.
NOTE: Take the saw off its stand, bench or
plywood base if readjustment is necessary.
CAUTION: TO keep from losing control of the unit,
steady the base with one hand while loosening the
two bolts with the other hand.
b. With the unit securely resting on a large stable
surface, tilt the unit by lifting up on one side or
the other of the base. Loosen the two miter arm
bolts on the underside of the turn table with a
1/,_,,wrench or socket. Tilt the unit by lifting up on
one side or the other of the base
c. Return the saw to its normal resting position.
Make sure the miter lock handle is loose but do
not release the index spring.
d. Use the miter saw handle to turn the turn table
and saw so that the blade contacts the full length
of the square. Watch out for tooth set Turn the
miter lock handle clockwise to lock saw square
to fence.
e. Tilt saw as in Step B and tighten bolts,
f. Recheck blade squarenesss to fence and read-
just if necessary.

Step Four--Pivot Adjustments
NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory
and normally do not require readjustment,
1. The miter saw should rise completely to the up posi-
tion by itself, If the saw will not raise by itself or if
there is play in the pivot joints the following adjust-
ments are necessary.
Travel Pivot Adjustments
a, Hold the pivot bolt with an adjustable or _5!16"wrench.
Loosen the hex lock nut with an adjustable or _5/18"
wrench.
b. Recheck the saw travel. Saw should rise freely to
its up travel stop. Check to see that the saw will
raise from all positions and there is no looseness in
the pivot. If saw still won't fully rise, have Sears
Service check and repair it.

Bevel Pivot Adjustment
1. The miter saw should bevel easily by loosening the
bevel lock handle and tilting the power head to the
left. If movement is tight or if there is looseness in
the pivot follow the adjustment procedure.
a. Loosen the bevel lock handle.
b. Turn the hex lock nut with an adjustable or 15/1_"
wrench.
c. Recheck bevel movement of the miter saw. Re-
adjust if necessary.
Depth Stop
The depth stop limits the blades downward travel, It
allows the blade to go below the work table enough to
maintain full cutting capacities. The depth stop positions
the blade 1/4"from the cast iron table support. The depth
stop is factory set and should never need adjustment.
Maintaining Maximum Cutting Capacity
WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED
STARTING OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT PLUG
THE SAW IN. THE POWER CORD MUST REMAIN
UNPLUGGED WHENEVER YOU ARE WORKING ON
THE SAW.
Unplug the saw before any adjustment is attempted.
This tool is factory set to provide maximum cutting
capacity for the 10" saw blade provided. When the
diameter of the blade has been reduced due to sharpen-
ing, it may be necessary to adjust depth stop to provide
maximum cutting capacity, When a new blade is in-
stalled, it is necessary to check the clearance of the
blade to the turn table structure.
1. To adjust the depth stop use an adjustable wrench
and loosen the hex nut at the rear of the miter
saw arm.
2. Use a flat blade screwdriver to adjust the depth stop
adjusting bolt. The saw blade is lowered by turning
the bolt counterclockwise and raised by turning the
bolt clockwise.

Themiter saw has two fence positions. The front fence
position is used for workpieces up to standard 2 x 4 for
cut off and bevel operation, floor and ceiling moldings,
and door casings. The rear fence position is used
for cut off and bevel operation for a standard 2 x 6
workpiece.
Standard 2 x 4 measures 11/2"x 31/2''
Standard 2 x 6 measures 1!/2'' x 5'/2"
The base on either side of the work table has two sets
of holes for locating the fence. To change the fence
position, remove the two fence lock handles. Put the
fence in the other fence position and install the fence
lock handles.
The rear fence position is designed to slide side to side
when the miter setting is changed. This feature lets the
fence move to provide maximum support for the work-
piece. If it is necessary to change the miter cut in the
rear position first loosen the rip fence lock handles.
Release the miter lock handle and move it to the desired
miter angle. Tighten the miter lock handle and the fence
lock handles.
CAUTION: Do not try to change the miter position
while the fence is in the rear fence position before
loosening the fence lock handles. You might dam-
age the fence alignment arm.
On/Off Trigger Switch
To prevent the trigger from being accidentally engaged,
a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, press in
the lock-off button and squeeze the trigger. Release
the trigger to stop the miter saw.

MOUNTING THE SAW
WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED
SAW MOVEMENT:
a. Before moving the saw, lock the miter, bevel and
power-head positions. Unplug electric cord
b. To avoid back mlury, get help when you need to !ift
the saw more than t0 inches. Hold the tool close to
your body. Bend your knees so you can lift with your
legs, not your back Lift by using the hand-hold areas
at the bottom of the base.
c. Never carry the miter saw by the power cord or the
plastic handle Carrying the toot by the power cord
could cause damage to the insulation or the wire
connections resulting in electric shock or fire.
d. Place the saw so other people cannot stand behind
it. Thrown debris could injure people in its path.
e. Place the saw on a firm, level surface where there
is plenty of room for handling and properly support-
ing the workpiece
f. Support the saw so the table is level and the saw
does not rock.
g. Bolt or clamp the saw to ils support.
Place the saw in the desired location either on a work
bench or the recommended leg set. The base of the

BASIC SAW OPERATIONS
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ AND
UNDERSTAND ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND
OPERATING PROCEDURES THROUGHOUT THE
MANUAL BEFORE USING THIS TOOL.
BEFORE EACH USE:
1. Inspect your saw Replace damaged, missing, or
failed parts before using the saw.
2. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with
ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package).
3. For dusty operations, wear a face shield along with
safety goggles.
4. To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces:
a Choose the right 10-inch diameter blade for the
material and the type of cutting you plan to do.
Use this miter saw to cut only wood, wood-like
products or soft metals like aluminum. Other ma-
terials may shatter, grab at the blade, or create
other dangers
WARNING: IF PLANNING TO SAW ALUMINUM
OR OTHER NON-FERROUS METALS:
=UNDER ADVERSE CONDITIONS, THE
BLADE CAN GRAB WORKPIECE SUD-
DENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY, THIS PRE-
SENTS RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY TO THE OPERATOR OR BY-
STANDERS.
• USE ONLY SAWBLADE SPECIFICALLY
RECOMMENDED FOR NON-FERROUS
METAL CUTTING.
•DO NOT CUT METAL WORKPIECES THAT
MUST BE HAND HELD: USE AUXILIARY
CLAMPS OR OTHER EQUIPMENT AS
APPROPRIATE.
•OPERATOR MUST BE EXPERIENCED IN
CIRCULAR SAWING OF NON-FERROUS
METALS OR UNDER SUPERVISION OF AN
EXPERIENCED PERSON.
b. Make sure the direction of rotation arrow on the
blade matches the direction arrow on the saw.
The teeth of the blade should always point down-
ward at the front of the saw.
c. Make sure the blade is sharp, undamaged and
properIy aligned
d. Make sure the blade and arbor collars are clean.
e. Make sure the collars' recessed sides are facing
toward the blade.
f. Make sure the recessed side of the blade washer
(just under the arbor screw head) faces the collar.
g. Using a _/_"box end wrench, make sure the arbor
screw retaining the blade collars is firmly hand
tightened.
h. Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and
there _s no excessive play in any parts.

7. Nevercut FREEHAND:
a. Braceyourworkpiecesolidlyagainstthefence
andtabletopsoit willnotrockor twistduring
the cut.Makesurethereis nodebriscaught
beneaththeworkpiece.
b. Make sure no gaps between the workpiece,
fence and table will cause shifting after the work-
piece is cut in two.
c. Use jigs, fixtures or a different tool for unstable
workpieces.
8. Never cut more than one workpiece at a time.
9. Make sure the cut off piece can move sideways
after it's cut off. Otherwise, it could get wedged
against the blade and thrown violently.
Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward
workpieces:
a. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks,
etc.) for any workpieces large enough to tip
when not held down to the table top.
b. Do not use this saw to cut pieces too small to
let you easily hold the work while you keep the
thumb side of your index (pointer) finger against
the outside edge of the fence
c. When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces,
plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the
blade. A piece of molding, for example, must lie
flat or be held by a fixture or jig that will not let
it twist, rock or slip while being cut.
d. Properly support round material such as dowel
rods, or tubing. They have a tendency to roll
while being cut, causing the blade to ."bite." To
avoid this, use a fixture designed to properly
hold your work piece.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in
the part of the workpiece to be cut.
10.
11.
12. Make sure bystanders are clear of the tool and
workpiece. Keep them clear of the area behind the
saw where debris will be thrown.
13, Never turn your miter saw "ON" before clearing
everything except the workpiece and related sup-
port devices off the table.
14. To avoid risk of hearing damage, wear ear plugs
or muffs during extended periods of operation.
15. To avoid being suddenly pulled into the blade:
a. Do not wear gloves.
b. Remove all jewelry and loose clothing.
c. Tie back long hair.
d. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
16. To avoid burns or other fire damage, never use the
saw near flammable liquids, vapors or gases,
WHENEVER SAW IS RUNNING:
17. Before actually cutting with the saw, let it run for a
while. If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if
it vibrates excessively, stop immediately. Turn the
saw off. Unplug the saw. Do not restart until findin 9
and correcting the problem,
18. Never confine the piece being cut off Never hold
it, clamp iL touch it, or use length stops against it
It must be free to move sideways. If confined, tt
could get wedged against the blade and thrown
violently.
19. Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause a hand to move into the blade.
20. Let the blade reach full speed before cutting.
21. Feed the saw into the workpiece only fast enough
to let the blade cut without bogging down or binding.
22. Before freeing jammed material, release switch and
unplug the saw. Wait for all moving parts to stop
23. After finishing a cut, keep holding the power-head
down, release the switch, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before moving your hands.
Body and Hand Position
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operat-
ing the miter saw will make cutting easier and safer.
Never place hands near cutting area. Place hand at
least 4" from path of blade Hold workpiece firmly to
the fence to prevent movement toward the blade. Keep
hands in position until trigger has been released and
the blade has completely stopped. Before making a
cut, make a "dry run" with the power off so you can see
the path of the blade.
WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO CUT SHORT PIECES.
YOU CANNOT PROPERLY SUPPORT THE WORK-
PIECE AND KEEP YOUR HOLD DOWN HAND THE
REQUIRED DISTANCE FROM THE BLADE.
16
MiterCut
Whena miter cut is required, move the saw to the
desired angle. Do not stand in front of the saw table.
Move withthe handle to the miter angle to make the cut.
NOTE: Remember to loosen the fence lock handles
before changing the miter angle with the fence in the
rear position.
Bevel Cut
When a bevel cut is required, tilt the blade to desired
bevel angle. Stand to the left side ofthe handle to make
the cut.
17
CompoundCut
When a compound cut is required, select the correct
bevel and miter position. Move with the handle to the
miter angle to make the cut. If the fence is in the rear
position, loosen the two lock handles before changing
the miter angle.
Cutting Bowed Material
Before cutting a workpiece, check to make sure it is
not bowed. If it is bowed the workpiece must be
positioned and cut as illustrated. Do not position work-
piece incorrectly or try to cut the workpiece without the
support of the fence. This will cause pinching of the
workpiece on the blade. The workpiece could suddenly
jump or move and your hand could hit the blade.
CORRECT INCORRECT
18
Workpiece Support
Long pieces need extra supports. The supports should
be placed along the workpiece so the workpiece does
_not sag and your hand holding the workpiece is
positioned 4" or more from the blade path. The support
should let the workpiece lay flat on the base and work
table during the cutting operation.
WORKPIECE
\

Auxiliary Fence
Certain types of-molding need a fence face extension
due to the size and position of the workpiece. Holes
are provided in the fence to attach an auxiliary fence
made of straight wood typically 1/2inch thick by 3 inches
high by 20 inches long. The auxiliary fence is used with
the saw in the 0°bevel position. If a bevel cut is desired,
the auxiliary fence will have to be removed.

Filler Blocks for Cutting Crown Moldings
The majority of crown moldings have contact surfaces
of 52° and 38° to the rear surface of the molding, When
joining the face of the filler block these angles must be
maintained. The following illustrations show two
methods that can be used when cutting crown moldings
depending on how the filler block is attached to the
fence.
When the filler blocks are attached with the face of the
filler blocks pointing upwards, the molding must be
placed on the table upside down.
When the filler blocks are attached to the fence with
the face of the filler blocks pointing downwards, the
molding must be placed on the table right side up. This
is the same position as it would be when nailed between
the ceiling and wall.
Make 2 filler blocks 10 inches long. Fasten blocks se-
curely to fence, For btock face pointing downward, you
may need to drill new fastener holes in the fence.
