6. Compound cutting procedures
For compound cutting, follow the instructions in paragraphs 4 and 5 above. At a bevel angle of 45° and
a miter angle of 45°, a workpiece of 1-3/4" (44 mm) in height and up to 3-1/2" (89 mm) in width can be
cut.
CAUTION:
Always secure the workpiece with the right hand side for compound cutting. Never
rotate the table to the right for compound cutting, because the saw blade might
then contact the clamp or vise that secures the workpiece, and cause personal injury
or damage.
7. Crown molding cutting procedures
Fig. 26 shows two common crown molding types having angles of (
θ
) 38° and 45°.
For the typical crown molding fittings, see Fig. 27.
Fig. 26
Fig. 27
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.
