Cut it at 44 degrees form the back, then turn it around. . The first person is right. Cut it at 44 degrees form the back, then turn it around.

I suggest a couple of things. TEST the issue on SCRAP material for one thing; and depending on WHAT you happen to be mitering; consider that "ONE" degree, may not be "surgically critical."

I don`t know what this saw looks like but here are some suggestions: If this is framing, thats close enough. Nail it! Set miter to 44, use other piece of board! Clamp a shim in between to make it cut 46. Borrow somebodies table saw. I think you`re putting me on! When all else fails 'RTFM' If you don`t know what that means then 'RTFM' Crazy question!

Put another way, the miter saw cuts two angles simultaneously. If you cut a 46 degree angle, It also creates a 44 degree angle by default (46 +44 = equals 90 degree - right angle). Give ten to the first answer. good luck It all comes back to the geometry days: 45 + 45 equals 90 degrees. Put another way, the miter saw cuts two angles simultaneously.
