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.
