When setting bevel and miter angles for all compound
miters, remember that:
The angles presented for crown moldings are very pre-
cise and difficult to set exactly. Since they can easily
shift slightly and very few rooms have exactly square
corners, all settings should be tested on scrap molding.
PRETESTING WITH SCRAP MATERIAL IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
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 molding fence accessory (DW7084) is highly
recommended 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 encoun-
tered, the saw can be quickly and easily adjusted for them.
Use 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.

Be sure to properly secure workpiece. Refer to page 3 for
correct saw blade.
Bowed Material:
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown
in Figure 28 and never like that shown in Figure 29.
Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the
blade near the completion of the cut.
Cutting Plastic Pipe or Other Round Material
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be
cut just like wood and
CLAMPED OR HELD FIRMLY TO
THE FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING
. This is
extremely important when making angle cuts.
Cutting Large Material
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too
large to fit beneath the blade guard. A little extra height can
be gained by rolling the guard up out of the way, as shown
in Figure 24. Avoid doing this as much as possible, but if
need be, the saw will operate properly and make the big-
ger cut. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE
GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.
Maintenance
1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and
need no further maintenance.
2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around
AND UNDER the base and the rotary table. Even
though slots are provided to allow debris to pass
through, some dust will accumulate.
3. The brushes are designed to give you several years of
use. If they ever need replacement follow the instruc-
tions on page 6 or return the tool to the nearest serv-
ice center for repair. A list of service center locations is
packed with your tool.
Repairs
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
maintenance and adjustment (including brush inspection
and replacement) should be performed by authorized serv-
ice centers or other qualified service organizations, always
using identical replacement parts.

Special Cuts
NEVER MAKE ANY CUT UNLESS THE MATERIAL IS
SECURED ON THE TABLE AND AGAINST THE FENCE.
Aluminum Cutting:
Certain workpieces, due to their size, shape or surface
finish, may require the use of a clamp or fixture to prevent
movement during the cut. Position the material so that you
will be cutting the thinnest cross section, as shown in Figure
26. Figure 27 illustrates the wrong way to cut these
extrusions. Use a stick wax cutting lubricant when cutting
aluminum. Apply the stick wax directly to the saw blade
before cutting. Never apply stick wax to a moving blade.
The wax, available at most hardware stores and industrial
mill supply houses, provides proper lubrication and keeps
chips from adhering to the blade.
