Compound cutting can be performed by following the instructions in 7 and 10 above. For
maximum dimensions for compound cutting, refer to "SPECIFICATIONS" table on page 12.
CAUTION:
12. Crown molding cutting procedures
Fig. 35 shows two common crown molding types having angles of (θ) 38° and 45°.
For the typical crown molding fi ttings, 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.
For bevel cut setting
Turn the clamp lever on bevel section to the left and check that the position is stable and
that the bevel angle scale and the tip of the indicator are properly aligned. Then tighten the
clamp lever.
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 (B) counterclockwise, and engage in the cutting
operation.
In case of compound cutting (angle + bevel) by right bevel, turn
the sub-fence (A) clockwise, and engage in the cutting operation.
