    Rabbet Cutting Dado blades have a higher risk of kickback than normal blades because their larger size applies stronger forces to the workpiece. This risk increases Figure 55 relative to the depth and width of the cut.

  • Page 41 Cutting Rabbets with a Standard Blade Page 25 To cut rabbets with the standard blade, do these steps: DO NOT place a tall board on edge to perform a rabbet cut with a standard blade. Workpieces that are too tall to be properly supported with the fence can easily shift during operation and cause kickback.
  • Page 42 Resawing Resawing operations require proper procedures to avoid serious injury. Extra care must be taken to prevent kickback when resawing. Any tilting or movement of the workpiece away from the fence will cause kickback. Be certain that stock is flat and straight. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury.
