Crown moulding cut (fig. L)
Crown moulding can only be cut flat on the table
with this mitre saw.
•
This mitre saw has special mitre stops on
31.6° left and right and a bevel stop of 33.9°
for special crown moulding, i.e. 52° between
the back of the moulding and the top flat
surface that fits against the ceiling; 38°
between the back of the moulding and the
bottom flat surface that fits against the wall.

Note: These special stops can not be used with
45° crown moulding.
Note: Since most rooms do not have angles of
exactly 90°, fine tuning is needed, always make
a test cut to confirm the correct angles.
Setting the cutting depth (fig. M)
The depth of cut can be preset for even and
repetitive shallow cuts.
