When making rabbet cuts with a standard blade, use a ripping-type blade to reduce motor overloading and blade wear. Also, you will need to remove the blade guard/dust hood, but leave the riving knife installed, making sure that its height is slightly lower than the blade.

Efk\1Cutting rabbets with a standard saw blade DOES NOT require the use of a sacrificial fence.

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.

4.Adjust the fence so the blade is aligned with the inside of your rabbet channel as shown in Figure /+.

5.Reconnect the saw to the power source and turn the saw FE.

6.When the blade has reached full speed, perform a test cut with a scrap piece of wood.

7.If the cut is satisfactory, repeat the cut with the final workpiece.

8.Stand the workpiece on edge as shown in Figure /,.
