Two Methods for Cutting Crown Molding
The angles created on a piece of crown molding that

together, equal 90° (A + B = 90°).The most common
crown molding angles are :
52
°
/38
°
: A 52° angle against the ceiling (A) and a 38°
angle against the wall (B). The mitr

setting at 33.9° to use when cutting 52°/ 38° crown

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disassemble
the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact a
MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
Inspect your tool for issues such as undue noise,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, or any other condition that may affect the tool
operation. Return the tool, battery pack, and charger
to a
MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for repair. After six
months to one year, depending on use, return the
tool, battery pack and charger to a
MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for inspection.
If the tool does not start or operate at full power with
a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on
the battery pack. If the tool still does not work prop-
erly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a
MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for repairs.
Adjusting the Mitre Saw
This Mitre Saw is fully adjusted at the factory. If it is not
accurate due to shipping and handling, please follow
these steps to accurately set up your saw. Once the
saw is properly adjusted, it should remain accurate
under normal jobsite and transportation conditions.
Cutting Crown Molding Angled Against
the Fence (Nested – in position)
Always use a crown stop when cutting crown
molding angled against the fence. When cutting
crown molding angled against the fence does
not require bevel settings. Small changes in the
mitre angle can be made without affecting the
bevel angle. When using this method the saw
can be quickly and easily adjusted for corners
that are not 90° (square).
