Let us know if it helps.
You can take this one step further. Suppose you need to make a cut that is not square but angles across the top face and angles down the edge…a completely arbitrary, non-square, but straight cut. Put your head where the layout lines look kink-free, plop your saw on it and cut. As long as the starting angle isn’t so extreme that the saw skates, you’ll probably find that you get exactly the cut you want, although you may be in an uncomfortable body position. Works for me!
