5. Connect saw to power source.
WARNING: KEEP HANDS ON JIG HANDLES
WHEN PERFORMING CUTS (SEE FIGS. 30 & 31).
6. Turn saw on and perform the first structural cheek
cut as shown in Fig. 30, by feeding the tenon jig toward
the saw blade at a slow feed rate until the saw blade has
exited out of the back of the work piece. Turn tool off and
allow blade to come to a complete stop, then slowly pull
tenon jig back to the position shown in Fig. 29.
7. Loosen clamp (M) Fig. 29, remove spacer block (K),
and secure workpiece (L) Fig. 31, in place as shown,
keeping the same face of workpiece (L) against vertical
support plate (N) and backup board (P), and the
workpiece is properly spaced up from the saw table as
shown. Then turn tool on, perform the second structural
cheek cut as shown, then turn tool off and allow blade to
come to a complete stop, then slowly pull tenon jig back
to the position shown in Fig. 29.
CAUTION: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE.
8. Load and secure the workpiece (L) Fig. 32, onto the
tenon jig as shown and adjust the tenon jig to perform
the third and fourth cosmetic cheek cuts. Connect saw
to power source, turn saw on, and perform the cosmetic
cheek cuts in the same manner the structural cheek cuts
were made. NOTE: When cutting the cosmetic cheek
cuts, the spacer block (K) Fig. 29, does not need to be
used. The workpiece can be turned 180 degrees, for the
discrepancies in the material are not as critical when
cutting the cosmetic cheeks compared to the structural
cheeks.
CUTTING THE SHOULDERS
OF THE TENON
CAUTION: DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER
SOURCE.
WARNING: TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR
DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE, ALWAYS USE A
CROSS-CUT BLADE TO PERFORM THE SHOULDER
CUTS OF THE TENON.
CAUTION: WHEN PERFORMING THE SHOULDER
CUTS OF THE TENON, DO NOT CUT INTO THE
CHEEKS OF THE TENON, FOR IT WILL GREATLY
REDUCE THE STRENGTH OF THE JOINT.
NOTE: IT IS ADVISABLE TO PERFORM CUTS ON
PRACTICE MATERIAL FIRST BEFORE CUTTING THE
GOOD WORKPIECES.
9. Remove tenon jig from tool.
10. Lay the workpiece (L) Fig. 33, onto the saw table as
shown and adjust saw blade (R) to cut the structural
shoulders of the tenon, as shown.
