Cutting base molding:
Base moldings and many other
moldings can be cut on your miter
saw. The setup of the saw depends on
molding characteristics and application.
Perform practice cuts on scrap material
to achieve best results.
1. Place the base molding piece
upside against the fence and table
as shown in Fig. LL.
Fig. LL
2. Measure the angle of corner by
MiterMate™ angle finder and lock
the sliding fences unit in positions.
3. Use the clamp to secure the base
molding piece.
NOTE
: Use the telescoping
extension wings to support long
molding pieces.
4. Cut on the side of the saw as shown
in the following chart.
NOTE : If molding piece is too tall, reset
fences to 0° and cut flat using the bevel
like a conventional saw.
CONVENTIONAL WAY OF CUTTING
CROWN/BASE MOLDING
The following instructions are not the
optimum way to cut molding using
the miter cutting feature. Use these
instructions only for cutting molding too
large for the Miter feature.
Cutting base molding (Fig. MM):
Base moldings and many other
moldings can be cut on a compound
miter saw. The setup of the saw
depends on molding characteristics
and application, as shown. Perform
practice cuts on scrap material to
achieve best results:
1. Always make sure moldings rest
firmly against fence and table. Use
hold-down or C-clamps, whenever
possible, and place tape on the
area being clamped to avoid marks.
2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut
area prior to making cut. Mark cut
line directly on the tape.
3. Splintering typically happens due
to wrong blade application and
thinness of the material.

NOTE: Always perform a dry run cut
so you can determine if the operation
being attempted is possible before
power is applied to the saw.
