Jointing_ : : ,
Joiniing is the removal of wood along the edge'of a piece
Of wood so as to make that edge straight, smooth and
squal_e to the wood face which is against the fence.
To ensure a square cut, the workpiece face must be held
flat against the fence throughout the entire cut.

Beveling/Chamfering
Adjust the fence to the desired angle. Lock fence in posi-
tion using fence tilt knob and fence sliding knob.
For pieces of wood 3 inches or wider hold the board
firmly down on both tables and firmly against the fence
(as illustrated) with your hands on the side and top of the
workpiece. Keep fingers close together,
NOTE: Removing only the comer on the edge of a board is
known as chamfering while beveling is removing the cor-
ner or the edge of the board down to the board's surface.
Normally a chamfer is made with one cut and only the
corner of the wood is cut off. Therefore, a cut deeper that
1/t6 of an inch may be made.
For pieces of wood less than 3 inches wide use hold-
down/push-blocks (as illustrated) on the side of the work-
piece so you can hold the workpiece in toward the fence
at all times as well as down against the table top.
WARNING: Do not contact the cutting knives or i
: lithe guard With the push-blocks.

Rabbeting
Rabbeting is very similar to jointing except that only part
of the edge is jointed. Do not remove the guard for rab-
beting. To rabbet hold the workpiece firmly against the
fence. Do not make cuts greater than 1/8". To make a
•deeper rabbet, make cuts in 1/8" deep increments.
Because the workpiece is supported by the outfeed table
during a rabbet cut, the infeed table must be lowered
after each pass.
Stop Pin Operation
A step pin is supplied to prevent against planing or joint-
ing more than 1/8" depth o! cut. Planing and jointing
operations greater than 1/8' per pass are not, recom-
: mended. Rabbeting operations greater than 1/8 can be
performed by putiing the stop pin out and lowering the
: infeed tabte in:l/8 increments. The pin automatically
i resets Sen. you return to the 0" to 1/8" depth of cut
rangel N_ver Cut a full 1/2" rabbet in one cut. Cut in 1/8"
depth increments until your full depth is acquired.
