Reconnect saw to power source and turn
saw ON. When blade has reached full speed,

— If the cut is satisfactory, repeat the cut with
the final workpiece.
Cutting Rabbets with a Standard
Blade
A ripping blade is typically the best blade to use
for cutting rabbets when using a standard blade
because it removes sawdust very efficiently. (See
Page 45 for blade details.) Also, a sacrificial fence
is not required when cutting rabbets with a stan-
dard blade.
To cut rabbets with the standard blade:
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Mark width of rabbet cut on edge of workpiece,
so you can clearly identify intended cut while
it is laying flat on saw table.
