NESTING CROWN MOLDING AGAINST THE
MITER FENCE
See Figures 39 - 40.
To nest pieces of crown molding less than 3-1/2 in. tall:

Set the bevel angle at 0° and the miter angle at 45° to
either the left or the right.
 Lay the crown molding on the saw with its bottom edge
resting at a natural angle flush against the fence and its
top edge resting flush against the miter table, this is called
“nesting”.

Nest and secure the crown molding against miter fence
using a spring clamp and hold crown molding securely.
 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cut-
ting operation to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.

Grasp the saw handle firmly. Squeeze the switch trigger.
Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum
speed.

Slowly lower the blade into and through the crown molding.

Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop
rotating before raising the blade out of the crown molding
and removing the crown molding from the miter table.
