D. General Operations
The general operating procedures are just that: “gener-
al in nature”. They are not the final word on perform-
ing any one of the many functions that are possible
with The Rebel
® . If you are a beginning woodworker,
gather as much information as you can and understand
all safety procedures about woodworking relating to
your particular operation. There are plenty of informa-
tion sources available, from public TV, books and
video’s to the high school shop instructor or wood-
working club in your area. Do not jump right in and
attempt to perform something beyond your capabili-
ties. Instead, start by making simple projects to gain
the experience necessary to do more complex tasks. No
matter what your skill level, always practice good safe-
ty procedures and follow the recommendations listed
in this manual.

Before you use your Rebel ® , Please review the general
safety rules for all power tools listed in the beginning

able that increase the safety factor when processing
material. These hold-down devises include spring-
loaded pressure wheels and feather boards. Figure 21

When adjusting the fence, replacing router bits
or performing any maintenance or inspection,
always turn the router off, make sure it has come
to a complete stop and pull the plug from the out-
let BEFORE performing such duties.Serious per-
sonal injury may occur.
Please observe all safety rules specified in your
router owners manual. Make sure you fully under-
stand your capabilities and that you have a complete
understanding of your router and the inherent haz-
ards associated with it. You must follow all safety
procedures and perform each operation in the safest
way possible. Failure to do so may result in serious
personal injury.
