8. Load and secure the workpiece (L) Fig. 31 on the

tenoning jig and adjust the jig to perform the third and

fourth cosmetic cheek cuts. Connect the machine to

the power source, turn the saw “on”, and make the

cuts.

NOTE: When cutting the cosmetic cheek cuts, do not use

the spacer block (K) Fig. 28. You can turn the workpiece

180 degrees. The discrepancies in the workpiece are not as

critical when cutting the cosmetic cheeks as compared to

the structural cheeks.

Disconnect the Machine

from the Power Source!

To avoid personal injury or damage to the machine, always use a cross-cut blade to perform the

shoulder cuts of the tenon.

When performing the shoulder cuts of the tenon, do not cut into the cheeks of the tenon. It will greatly

reduce the strength of the joint.

NOTE: Perform your practice cuts on scrap material before cutting good wood.
