Grizzly G0452 Owner's Manual page 38

When the cutterhead guard is removed,
attempting any other cut besides a rabbet
directly exposes the operator to the moving
cutterhead. Always replace the cutterhead
guard after rabbet cutting!
To rabbet cut on the jointer:
1. Read and understand SECTION 1: SAFETY,
beginning on Page 7.
2.
Make sure your stock has been inspected
for dangerous conditions as described in the
Stock Inspection instructions, beginning on
Page 31.
3.
Set the cutting depth for your operation. (We
suggest between
1
ting, using a more shallow depth for hard
wood species or for wide stock.)
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
firm pressure, and feed the workpiece over
the cutterhead.
Note: When your leading hand gets within
4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the
cutterhead, 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 feed-
ing, 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 moving!
8. Repeat Step 7 until the your rabbet is cut to
depth.
