For maximum dimensions for compound cutting, refer to "SPECIFICATIONS" table on
page 12.
CAUTION:
12. Crown molding cutting procedures
Fig. 37 shows two common crown molding types having angles of (θ) 38° and 45°.
For the typical crown molding fittings, see Fig. 38.

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.
32
Always check that the side handle is secured and the turntable is
clamped.
If you attempt angle cutting without clamping the turntable, then
the turntable might shift unexpectedly causing injuries.
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.
