NON THROUGH SAWING

Add 8" high flat facing board to the fence, the full
length of the fence (Fig. 59).
Use featherboards for all "Non Through Sawing"
operations (when sawblade guard must be re-
moved). Featherboards are used to keep the work
in contact with the fence and table as shown, and
to stop kickbacks.
Mount featherboards to fence and table as shown,
so that leading edges of featherboards will support
workpiece until cut is complete, and the workpiece
has been pushed com pletely past the cutter (saw-
blade, dado head, etc.) with a Push Stick, as in rip-
ping.
Before starting the operation (switch saw "OFF"
and set cutter below table surface):
A. Install featherboards so they exert pressure on
the work piece; BE POSITIVE THEY ARE SE-
CURELY ATTACHED.
B. Make sure by trial that the featherboards will
stop a kick back if one should occur.
Featherboards are not employed during non
through sawing operations when using the miter
gauge.
REPLACE THE SMART GUARD SYSTEM AS
SOON AS THE NON THROUGH 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. 60).
Making a RABBET requires cuts which do not go
all the way through the material. Therefore the
Smart Guard System must be removed.
1. Remove blade guard.
2. For rabbeting along an edge (long way of work-
piece) as shown, add facing to rip fence approx-
imately as high as the workpiece is wide. Adjust
rip fence and blade to required dimensions,
then make first cut with board flat on table, fol-
low set-up shown in Fig. 57. Make second cut
with workpiece on edge. Follow all precautions,
safety instructions, and operation instructions
as for ripping or rip type operations, including
featherboards and Push Stick, etc.
3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 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 rabbeting across the end.
4. INSTALL SMART GUARD SYSTEM IMMEDI-
ATELY UPON COM PLETION OF RABBETING
OPERATION.
Rabbet cuts can also be made in one pass of the
workpiece over the cutter using the dado head.
