Whencuttingcrownmolding by this method the bevel angle should be sot at 33.85 °. The miter angle should be sot at 31.62 ° either right or left, depending on the desired cut for the application. See the chart below for correct angle settings and correct positioning of crown molding on miter table.
The settings in the chart below can be used for cutting
All Standard (U.S.) crown molding with 52 ° and 38 ° angles. The crown molding is placed flat on the miter table using the compound features of your miter saw.

CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL
See Figures 33 and 34.
When cuffing warped material, always make sure it is positioned on the miter table with the convex side against the fence as shown in figure 33.
If the warped material is positioned the wrong way as shown in figure 34, it will pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.
WARNING: To avoid a kickback and to avoid serious personal injury, never position the
concave edge of bowed or warped material against the fence.
