WARNING:
When the workpiece is secured on the left or right side of the blade, the short cut-off
portion will come to rest on the right or left side of the saw blade. Always turn the
power off and let the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the
workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may
become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about
dangerously.
7. Compound cutting procedures
For compound cutting, follow the instructions in paragraphs 5 and 6 above.
For maximum dimensions for compound cutting, refer to "SPECIFICATIONS" table on page 9.
CAUTION:
Always secure the workpiece with the right or left hand side for compound cutting.
Never rotate the table to the right for compound cutting (left bevel), because the
saw blade might then contact the clamp or vise that secures the workpiece, and
cause personal injury or damage.
Never rotate the table to the left for compound cutting (right bevel), because the
saw blade might then contact the clamp or vise that secures the workpiece, and
cause personal injury or damage.

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 table has been set to either of the angles described, move the table adjusting miter 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
Move handle on bevel section to the right and 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.
