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 several 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 surface of the saw base as indicated in the table (B).
