English CAUTION: Always confirm that the motor head (see Fig. 1) does not contact the crown molding vise ass'y when it is lowered for cutting. If there is any danger that it may do so, loosen the 6mm knob bolt and move the crown molding vise ass'y to a position where it will not contact the saw blade. Position crown molding with its WALL CONTACT EDGE against the guide fence and its CEILING CONTACT EDGE against the crown molding Stoppers as shown in Fig. 40-b. Adjust the crown molding Stoppers according to the size of the crown molding. Tighten the 6mm wing bolt to secure the crown molding Stoppers. Refer to the lower table for the miter angle.
