All cuts made with the back of the molding against the fence
and bottom of the molding against the base.

Material up to 4.25" (108mm) can be cut as described above.
For wider boards [up to 5.25" (133mm)] several minor
concessions must be made.
When cutting a board between 4.25" (108mm) and 5.25"
(133mm) in width the roller on the tip of the guard will hang up
on the workpiece. If this occurs, roll the guard up just enough
to clear the workpiece , as shown in Figure 28. Once you
have cleared the workpiece, you can release the guard and it
will continue to open as the cut progresses. Hold the
workpiece securely against the fence and base before
starting the cut.
When mitering to the right side of a base molding wider than
3.9" (99mm) standing vertically against the fence as in
Figure 27, 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 4-1/4"
(108mm) and 5-1/4" (133mm) wide vertically follow the
directions below.
