Cutting Crown molding

• Crown molding must be cut exactly to fit properly.
• There are two ways to cut crown molding: flat on table or
angled to table and fence.
• Your miter saw has special miter detents of 31.6° left and
right and a bevel indicator at 33.9° for cutting crown
molding flat on the table.
• These special detents angles have been designed into
your compound miter saw for the standard crown molding
used in the United States with the following angles:

fine tune your settings using the detent override and the
vernier scale.
