G0656 8" Jointer with Built-In Mobile Base
To rabbet cut on the jointer:
1. Read and understand SECTION 1: SAFETY,
beginning on
Page 6.
2. Make sure your stock has been inspected
for dangerous conditions as described in the
Stock Inspection & Requirements
instruc-
tions, beginning on
Page 21.
3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We
suggest between
1
⁄16" and
1
⁄8" for rabbet cut-
ting, using a more shallow depth for hard
wood species or for wide stock.)
4. Remove the cutterhead guard.
5. Make sure your fence is moved forward, so
the amount of infeed/outfeed table exposed
is the same as the size of your rabbet. Also,
make sure your fence is set to 90˚.
6. Start the jointer.
7. With a push block in each hand, press the
workpiece against the table and fence with
firm pressure, and feed the workpiece over
the cutterhead.
When the cutterhead guard is removed,
attempting any other cut besides a rabbet
directly exposes the operator to the moving
cutterhead. Always replace the cutterhead
guard after rabbet cutting!
Note
: If your leading hand gets within 4" of the
cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead,
and place the push block on the portion of the
workpiece that is on the outfeed table.
Now,
focus your pressure on the outfeed end of
the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the
same action with your trailing hand when it
gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your
hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than
4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!
8. Repeat Step 7 until the your rabbet is cut to
depth.
