Measuring
Measure the wall length and adjust workpiece on
table to cut wall contact edge to desired length.
Always make sure that cut workpiece length at the
back of the workpiece is the same as wall length.
Adjust cut length for angle of cut. Always use sev-
eral pieces for test cuts to check the saw angles.
When cutting crown and cove moldings, set the
bevel angle and miter angle as indicated in the
table (A) and position the moldings on the top sur-
face of the saw base as indicated in the table (B).
