Table Saw Operation: Make sure that you

manual, and take all instructed safety precau-
tions.

Riving Knife: you must use a riving knife
that is properly installed behind the blade to
ensure the kerf does not close on the blade
and cause kickback.

Saw blades: Make sure that your saw
blades are not damaged and that the teeth
are sharp.
•
Saw adjustments: When using the tenoning
jig, the accuracy of the cuts depend upon the
accuracy of the saw blade. Make sure that
your saw blade is perpendicular to the table
and parallel with the miter slots.
•
Miter Slot and Table: Make sure the miter
slots and table are free from burrs or debris
that may interfere with the smooth operation
of the jig.

Lighting: Make sure the top of your table has
adequate lighting so that the tenoning jig and
workpiece are properly illuminated without
shadows.
