Cutting rabbets with the dado blade:
1. Adjust the saw blade to the maximum height
needed for the rabbeting operation.
Never perform a through cut operation with
a dado blade. A dado blade was designed to
make non-through cuts only. Failure to fol-
low this warning could result in serious per-
sonal injury.
2. If rabbeting along the long length of your
workpiece, adjust the distance between the
fence and the workpiece to suit your needs
as shown in Figure 36.
