Model G0654 (Mfg. Since 9/07)
the purpose of bevel cutting is to cut a specific
angle into the edge of a workpiece (see
figures
49 & 50).
the model g0654 has preset fence stops at 45˚
inward, 90˚, and 45˚ outward (135˚). if your situ-
ation requires a different angle, the fence can be
locked anywhere between these angles.
To bevel cut on the jointer:
1. read and understand SEcTION 1: SAfETy,
beginning on page 6.
2. make sure your stock has been inspected
for dangerous conditions as described in the
Stock Inspection & Requirements instruc-
tions, beginning on
page 26.
3. set the cutting depth for your operation. (We
suggest between 1 ⁄
16
" and 1 ⁄
8
" for bevel cut-
ting, using a more shallow depth for hard
wood species or for wide stock.)
4. make sure your fence is set to the angle of
your desired cut.
5. if your workpiece is cupped (warped), place
it so the concave edge is face down on the
surface of the infeed table.
6. start the jointer.
7. With a push block in your leading hand (see
figure 49), press the workpiece against the
table and fence with firm pressure, and feed
the workpiece over the cutterhead.
Note: If your leading hand gets within 4" of the
cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead,
and place the push block on the portion of the
workpiece that is on the outfeed table. Now,
focus your pressure on the outfeed end of
the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the
same action with your trailing hand when it
gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your
hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than
4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!
8. repeat Step 7 until the angled cut is satisfac-
tory to your needs.

NOTICE
If you are not experienced with a jointer,
set the depth of cut to zero, and practice
feeding the workpiece across the tables as
described below. This procedure will better
prepare you for the actual operation.
