Use push blocks to rabbet cut whenever

possible. The rabbeting capacity is 3/4”.

1. Disconnect machine from power source.

2. Set fence for desired width of rabbet.

3. Check width of the rabbet by measuring

the distance from end of knife in the

cutterhead to the fence.

4. Reconnect power. Lower infeed table

1/32” at a time and make successive cuts

until the desired depth of rabbet has been

obtained. See Fig. 21A. NOTE: It is

easier and safer to take a series of

shallow cuts.

JOINTING WARPED SURFACES

If the wood to be jointed is dished or warped,

take light cuts until the surface is flat. Avoid

forcing such material down against the table;

excessive pressure will spring it while passing

the knives, and it will spring back and remain

curved after the cut is completed.

JOINTING SHORT OR THIN WORK

When jointing short or thin pieces, use a push

block to eliminate all danger to the hands.

Two push blocks are shipped with your

jointer. You can also make your own easily

from scrap material. Two types are shown in

Figure 22.

DIRECTION OF GRAIN

Avoid feeding work into the jointer against the

grain. This will result in chipped and

splintered edges. See Figure 23. Feed with

the grain to obtain a smooth surface, as

shown in Figure 24.

BEVELING

To cut a bevel, lock the fence at the required

angle and run the work across the knives

while keeping it firmly against the fence and

tables. Several passes may be necessary to

achieve the desired result.
