When cutting material up to 3.9" (3-7/8") and 5.5" (5-1/2") in width, the guard will hang up
on the workpiece. If this occurs, place your right thumb on the upper side of the guard and
roll the guard up just enough to clear the workpiece (Figure 14). Once it has 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, 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. To cut these larger moldings, refer to the directions that follow.
Cutting 3-7/8" to 5-1/2" Base Molding Vertically Against the Fence
All cuts are made with the back of the molding against the Fence.

Note: If the cut must be made somewhere other than 1" from the end of the molding, cut off
the molding at 90 degrees, approximately 1" longer than your final length. Then make the
miter cut as described above.
Special Cuts
Caution: Never make any cut without firmly clamping down the workpiece.
Aluminum Cutting -- Aluminum extrusions such as those used when making aluminum
screen and storm windows can easily be cut with the miter saw.
