CAUTION: 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 counterclockwise, and engage in the cutting operation.
10. Crown molding cutting procedures
Fig. 34 shows two common crown molding types having angles of (θ) 38° and 45°.
For the typical crown molding fittings, see Fig. 35.
The table below shows the miter angle and the bevel angle settings that are ideal for
the two crown molding types.
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
Move handle 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.
