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
miter lock 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
Tighten the bevel lock handle 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.
