Non Thru-Sawing

Add 8" high flat facing board to the fence, the full length of the
fence (Fig. 52).
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.
Before starting the operation, switch saw "OFF," and remove blade
guard and anti-kickback pawls. Set riving knife to middle position
and set cutter below table surface.
Mount featherboards 1 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 completely past the
cutter (sawblade, dado head, molding head, etc.) with a Push Stick
2, as in ripping.
A. Install featherboards so they exert pressure on the workpiece;
BE POSITIVE THEY ARE SECURELY ATTACHED.
B. Make sure by trial that the featherboards will stop a kickback 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. 53).
Making a RABBET requires cuts which do not go all the way
through the material. Therefore the Smart Guard System must be
removed.
1. Before starting the operation, switch saw "OFF," and remove
blade guard and anti-kickback pawls. Set riving knife to middle
position and set cutter below table surface.
2. 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
setup (Fig. 52). 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 IMMEDIATELY UPON
COMPLETION OF RABBETING OPERATION.
Rabbet cuts can also be made in one pass of the workpiece over
the cutter using the dado head or molding head.
