OPERATIONS
Cutting Tenon Cheeks
1. DISCONNECT TABLE SAW FROM POWER!
2. Make sure all tenoning jig lock levers are tightened,
and workpiece is properly mounted and securely
clamped to jig.
3. Clear away all setup tools.
4. Ensure no part of tenoning jig will contact saw blade
during cutting operation.
5. Slide jig and workpiece up to saw blade, then use
micro-adjust knob to correctly align first structural
cheek cut mark with saw blade (see Figure 25).
Note: Remember to allow for width of kerf when
aligning workpiece. Also, keep cuts close to side
support backing board, as shown in Figure 25, to
support waste piece and reduce risk of it breaking
off during cut.
6. Raise saw blade to required depth of cut for tenon
cheek.
7. Move jig and workpiece back and away from blade,
then connect table saw to power and turn it ON.
8. Firmly grasp both handles of jig, then slowly slide jig
and workpiece through blade to make first structural
cheek cut (see Figure 26).
Note: Do not move jig and workpiece into blade
quickly or force of blade will attempt to lift jig up
and away from table.
ALWAYS move workpiece completely
through blade to reduce risk of
kickback. ALWAYS turn saw OFF,
disconnect it from power, and wait
for blade to come to a complete stop
before removing workpiece or moving
tenoning jig to avoid making contact
with spinning blade.
Figure 25. Aligning workpiece for first
structural cheek cut.
Figure 26. Making the first structural
cheek cut.
If it is necessary to remove side support
plywood to perform a cut, make sure
metal side support of tenoning jig stays
at least
1
⁄2" away from saw blade at all
times. If tenoning jig makes contact
with saw blade, serious personal injury
could result and damage will occur to
saw and tenoning jig.
