10. Crown molding cutting procedures
Fig. 35 shows two common crown molding types having angles of (θ) 38° and 45°.
For the typical crown molding fittings, see Fig. 36.

The table below shows the miter angle and the bevel angle settings that are ideal for the two crown
molding types.
NOTE:
For convenience, positive stops are provided for the miter setting (left and right 31.6°) positions.
For miter cut setting
If the turntable has been set to either of the angles described, move the turntable adjusting side handle
a little to the right and left to stabilize the position and to properly align the miter angle scale and the tip
of the indicator before the operation starts.

NOTE:
Miter Scale
Always secure the workpiece with the right or left hand and cut it by sliding the
round portion of the saw backwards with the left hand.
It is very dangerous to rotate the turntable to the left during compound cutting
because the saw blade may come into contact with the hand that is securing the
workpiece.
In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by left bevel, turn the sub-fence
counterclockwise, and engage in the cutting operation.

center setting, at 15°, 22.5°, 31.6° and 45° settings.
Check that the miter scale and the tip of the indicator
are properly aligned.
* Operation of the saw with the miter scale and indicator
out of alignment, or with the side handle not properly
tightened, will result in poor cutting precision.
