Material up to 91mm (3-5/8") can be cut as described above. For boards
[up to 173mm (6-3/4")] several minor concessions must be made:
When cutting a board between 91mm (3-5/8") and 173mm (6-3/4"),
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 17. 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 91mm (3-5/8")
standing vertically against the fence as in Figure 16, the saw can only
ANGLE "A"
cut through the board up to 25.4mm (1") 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
91mm (3-5/8") and 173mm (6-3/4") vertically follow the directions
on this page.

your final length then make the miter cut as described above.
