Clauses with an -ing participle maybe introduced by any of the subordinators for -ed participle clauses, except that the subordinators where, wherever, as [manner] and as soon as are excluded.

This sentence looks a little odd to me. It uses “except” and “excluded” in one sentence that way. What about just saying this?
