W1761/W1762 12" Table Saw with Riving Knife
To cut rabbets with the standard blade, do these steps:
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 cutting deep rabbets, take more than one pass to reduce the risk of kickback.
The danger of kickback increases relative to the depth and width of a cut. Reduce the risk of kickback by making multiple passes to achieve the desired depth of cut. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury.
5.Adjust the fence so the blade is aligned with the inside of your rabbet channel as shown in Figure 53.
6.Reconnect the saw to the power source and turn the saw ON.
7.When the blade has reached full speed, perform 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 54.
10.Adjust the saw blade height to intersect with the first cut.
11.Perform the second cut to complete the rabbet.
