▶ Non-Thru Cutting

Add 8" high flat facing board to the fence, the
full length of the fence (Fig. 60).
Use featherboards for all "Non Thru-Sawing"
operations (when sawblade guard must be
removed). Featherboards 1 are used to keep
the work in contact with the fence and table
as shown, and to stop kickbacks.
Mount featherboards 1 to fence and table as
shown, so that leading edges of feather-
boards will support workpiece until cut is
complete, and the workpiece has been
pushed com pletely past the cutter (saw-
blade, dado head, molding head, etc.) with a
Push Stick 2, as in ripping.
Before starting the operation (switch saw
"OFF" and set cutter below table surface):
A. Install featherboards so they exert pres-
sure on the work piece; be positive they
are securely attached.
B. Make sure by trial that the feather-
boards will stop a kick back if one
should occur.
Featherboards are not employed during non
thru-sawing operations when using the miter
gauge.
Replace the smart guard system as soon as
the non thru-sawing operation is complete.

▼ RABBETING

RABBETING is known as cutting out a section
of the corner of a piece of material, across an
end or along an edge (Fig. 61).
Making a RABBET requires cuts which do not
go all the way through the material. Therefore
the Smart Guard System must be removed.
A. Remove blade guard.
B. For rabbeting along an edge (long way
of workpiece) as shown, add facing to
rip fence approximately as high as the
workpiece is wide. Adjust rip fence and
blade to required dimensions; then
make first cut with board flat on table,
follow set-up Fig. 60. Make second cut
with workpiece on edge. Follow all pre-
cautions, safety instructions, and oper-
ation instructions as for ripping or rip
type operations, including feather-
boards and Push Stick, etc.
C. For rabbeting across an end, for work-
piece 10-1/2" and narrower make the

rabbet cut with the board flat on the
table. Using the miter gauge fitted with
a facing, follow the same procedures
and instructions for crosscutting making
suc cessive cuts across the width of the
workpiece to obtain the desired width
of cut. DO NOT use the rip fence for rab-
beting across the end.
D. INSTALL SMART GUARD SYSTEM IMME-
DIATELY UPON COM PLETION OF RAB-
BETING OPERATION.
Rabbet cuts can also be made in one pass of
the workpiece over the cutter using the dado
head or molding head.
