12" Sliding Compound Miter Saw

Operator’s Manual GMSDB1512L

CUTTING BASE MOLDING (FIG 26)

Base molding can be cut using two methods: standing vertically against the fence or horizontally, laying ﬂat on the

miter table. Using the vertical method is limited by the height capacities of your compound miter saw.

Flat or Horizontal Cutting:

1. Lay the base molding’s back onto the miter table with the

bottom of the base molding placed against the fence.

2. Set the miter angle to 0°.

3. Turn on the laser and set the blade’s bevel to the desired angle,

such as 45° for one half of 90° corners.

4. Align the cut line on the workpiece with the blade and laser

light.

5. Conﬁrm the saw settings, turn on the saw and make the cut as

described earlier.

Vertical Cutting: (FIG 26)

1. Stand the base molding upwards with the molding back

against the fence and molding bottom sitting on the miter

table.

2. Set the bevel angle to 0°.

3. Turn on the laser and set the miter table to the desired angle,

such as 45° for one half of 90° corners.

4. Align the cut line on the work piece with the blade and laser

light.

5. Conﬁrm the saw settings, turn on the saw and make the cut as

described earlier.

CUTTING CROWN MOLDING (FIG 27, 28,

29)

Your compound miter saw is the ideal tool for cutting crown

molding, which bridges the wall and ceiling. The most common

style of crown molding used today has a top rear angle of 52°

at the ceiling and a bottom rear angle of 38° where it meets the

wall. For an installation with tight ﬁtting corners where the right

and left pieces meet, extremely accurate bevel and miter angle

settings are required.

There are two methods for cutting crown molding. 1) Cutting

Crown Molding Flat on the Miter Table. 2) Cutting Crown Molding

Vertically Nested against Miter Fence.

Cutting Crown Molding Flat on the Miter Table (FIG 27)

Since the most common corners encountered when using crown molding measure 90° inside and outside, the

following instructions will be for cutting 52°/38° crown molding to ﬁt 90° corners with the molding laying ﬂat on

the saw table.
