OPERATION

TO MAKE A NON-THROUGH CUT

See Figure 29.

Non-through cuts can be made with the grain (ripping) or across the grain (cross cut). The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves and rabbets. DO NOT perform bevel non-through cuts on this machine.

NOTE: This is the only type of cut that is made without the blade guard assembly installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly is reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut.

Read the appropriate section which describes the type of cut in addition to this section on non-through cuts. For example, if your non-through cut is a straight cross cut, read and understand the section on straight cross cuts before proceeding.

WARNING:

When making a non-through cut, the cutter is covered by the workpiece during most of the cut. Be alert to the exposed cutter at the start and finish of every cut to avoid the risk of serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Never feed wood with your hands when making any non- through cut such as rabbets. To avoid personal injury, al- ways use push blocks, push sticks, and featherboards.
