easier cuts of crown molding without tilting the saw blade.
Install them in the base both-sides side to be shown in Fig. 41-
a. After inserting Tighten the 6mm wing bolts to secure the crown
molding Stoppers.
[Optional accessories used]
• Crown molding Vise Ass’y (Include Crown molding Stopper

(2) The crown molding vise (B) (Optional accessory) can be

mounted on either the left fence (Fence (B)) or the right fence
(Fence (A)). It can unite with the slope of the crown molding
and vice can be pressed down.
Then turn the upper knob, as necessary, to securely attach the
crown molding in position. To raise or lower the vise assembly,
first loosen the 6mm knob bolt.
After adjusting the height, firmly tighten the 6mm wing bolt;
then turn the upper knob, as necessary, to securely attach the
crown molding in position. (See Fig. 41-b)

WARNING:

Always firmly clamp or vise to secure the crown molding to the fence; otherwise the
crown molding might be thrust from the table and cause bodily harm.
Do not bevel cutting. The main body or saw blade may contact the sub fence, resulting
in an injury.

CAUTION:

Always confirm that the motor head (see Fig. 1) does not contact the crown molding
vise ass’y when it is lowered for cutting. If there is any danger that it may do so,
loosen the 6mm knob bolt and move the crown molding vise ass’y to a position
where it will not contact the saw blade.

Position crown molding with its WALL CONTACT EDGE against the guide fence and its CEILING CONTACT
EDGE against the crown molding Stoppers as shown in Fig. 41-b.
Adjust the crown molding Stoppers according to the size of the crown molding.
Tighten the 6mm wing bolt to secure the crown molding Stoppers.

9. Cutting easily-deformed materials, such as aluminum sash

Materials such as aluminum sash can easily deform when tightened too much in a vise assembly. This
will cause inefficient cutting and possible overload of the motor.
When cutting such materials, use a wood plate to protect the workpiece as shown in Fig. 42-a. Set the
wood plate near the cutting section.
When cutting aluminum materials, coat the saw blade with cutting oil (non-combustible) to achieve
smooth cutting and a fine finish.
In addition, in case of a U-shaped workpiece, use the wood plate as shown in Fig. 42-b to ensure
stability in the lateral direction, and clamp it near the cutting section of the workpiece and tighten it
using both the vise assembly and the clamp available in the market.
