bluplanet: I have an old 5008. It is very similar. I make sure my sacrificial piece has a squared corner from the front to the side stop. Then line my project piece with that edge. I use the flat side of a narrow steel rule to make sure both are flush.

My 5008 is about 30 years old. I think the 4112 is a generation or two newer. There were two versions of the 4112 sold by PC, one with plastic guides and one with aluminum. Which do you have?
