Material up to 3.9" (3-7/8)" can be cut as described
above. For wider boards [up to 5.5" (5-1/2")] several
minor concessions must be made.
When cutting a board between 3.9" (3-7/8") and 5.5"
(5-1/2") in width the roller on the tip of the guard will hang
up on the workpiece. If this occurs, simply place your
right thumb on the upper side of the guard and roll the
guard up just enough to clear the workpiece, as shown in
Figure 25. Once you have cleared the workpiece, you
can release the guard and it will continue to open as the
cut progresses.
When mitering to the right side of a base molding wider
than 3.9" (3-7/8") standing vertically against the fence as
in Figure 22, the saw can only cut through the board up
to 1 inch from the end of the board. Trying to cut more
than an inch will cause the saw’s gear case to interfere
with the workpiece. If you want to cut base molding
between 3-7/8" and 5-1/2" wide vertically follow the
directions on next page.
