•The saw has a bevel angle detent pin which can only be engaged at 33.9° left or right - this is the bevel angle required when cutting 38° “spring angle” crown molding flat on the table. NOTE: If the bevel detent pin automatically engages at 33.9° and prevents tilting the saw to another angle, simply pull it to the front and rotate its cross pin 1/4 turn so it rests in the disengaged position. If pin is sticking in, tilt and rock saw head side to side as you pull on it (see Figure 52).
