molding.Alsomost walls do not have angles of exactty
90", therefore,you w,I need to fine tune your settings.
When cuing crown mo_inc3 by this me_od the bevel
angle shouldbe set at 0". The m_tarangle should be s_t at
45"either dght or left, depending on the desired cut for the

Using the markingson the throat plate, you can accurately
cut All Standard (U.S.) with 52"and 38"angles in sizes of
2-314 in., 3-5/8 In., and 4-5/8 in. YOUcannot use the mark-
Ings on the throat plate when cutting crown molding with
45"and 4.5" angles.
