G0605X/G0606X Extreme Series 12" Table Saw
-37-
To cut rabbets with the standard blade:
Note: Cutting rabbets with a standard saw blade
DOES NOT require the use of a sacrificial fence.
Note: Reduce motor overloading and blade wear
by using a ripping blade. Ripping blades are
designed to clear the sawdust quickly.
1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2. Ensure that the riving knife is installed.
3. Clearly mark the width of the rabbet cut on
the workpiece.
Note:
Include marks on the edge of the
workpiece to clearly identify the intended cut
while it is laying flat on the saw table.
4. Raise the blade up to the desired depth of cut
(depth of rabbet channel desired).
When cut-
ting deep rabbets,
take more than one pass
to reduce the risk of kickback.

10. Adjust the saw blade height to intersect with
the first cut.
11. Perform the second cut to complete the rab-
bet.
6. Reconnect the saw to the power source and
turn the saw
ON.
7. When the blade has reached full speed, per-
form a test cut with a scrap piece of wood.
8. If the cut is satisfactory, repeat the cut with
the final workpiece.
9. Stand the workpiece on edge as shown in
Figure 53.
5. Adjust the fence so the blade is aligned with
the inside of your rabbet channel as shown in
Figure 52.
The danger of kickback increases relative to
the depth of a cut. Reduce the risk of kick
-
back by making multiple passes to achieve
the desired depth of cut. Failure to follow
these warnings could result in serious per
-
sonal injury.
