2. For rabbeting along an edge (long way of work-
piece) as shown, add facing to Rip Fence approxi-
mately as highas the workpiece is wide. Adjust Rip
Fence and blade to required dimensions; then make
first cut with board flat on table as any rip(type) cut;
make second cut with workpiece on edge. Follow all
precautions, safety instructions,and operational in-
structions as for dpping, or riptype operations, includ-
ing Featherboards and Push Stick, etc.
3. For rabbeting across an end, for workpiece 10-1/2
inches 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 in-
structions for cross cutting making successive cuts
across the width of the workpiece to obtain the de-
sired width of cut. DO NOT use the Rip Fence for
rabbeting across the end.
4. INSTALL BLADE GUARD 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.
