tice feeding the workpiece across the tables
as described below. This procedure will better
prepare you for the actual operation.
TO BEVEL CUT ON THE JOINTER
1. Read and understand SECTION "SAFETY..."
2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for
dangerous conditions as described in the Stock
Inspection & Requirements instructions.
3. Set the cutting depth for your operation.
(We suggest between 1⁄16" and 1⁄8" for bevel
cutting, using a more shallow depth for hard
wood species or for wide stock.)
4. Make sure your fence is set to the angle of
your desired cut.
5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place
it so the concave edge is face down on the sur-
face of the infeed table.
6. Start the jointer.
7. With a push block in your leading hand,
press the workpiece against the table and
fence with firm pressure, and feed the work-
piece over the cutterhead.
NOTE: If your leading hand gets within 4" of
the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutter-
head, 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 mov-
ing!

8. Repeat Step 7 until the angled cut is satisfac-
tory to your needs.
RABBET CUTTING
The purpose of rabbet cutting is to remove
a section of the workpiece edge. When com-
bined with another rabbet cut edge, the rab-
bet joints create a simple, yet strong method
of joining stock.
NOTICE: If you are not experienced with a
jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice
feeding the workpiece across the tables as de-
scribed. This procedure will better prepare you
for the actual operation.
TO RABBET CUT ON THE JOINTER

2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for

3. Set the cutting depth for your operation.
(We suggest between 1⁄16" and 1⁄8" for rab-
bet cutting.
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
