horizontal board under the comb but slide it back
slightly out of the cutting area, see fig 35.

Use the wider part of the set gauge to position board
edge to the centre of the comb slot, see fig 36.

horizontal board cut.

, see fig 37.
4)
Try the fit, see fig 38. If more material needs to be
removed to achieve perfect corner edge alignment then
simply use the comb adjuster knobs to move the comb
towards you & recut the board -
NB
Ensure that both
comb adjuster knobs are moved the same amount to
ensure that the comb stays parallel to the board edge,
see 39-40.
