2. Ensure that the saw is switched off and dis-
connected from its power source.
3. Remove the table insert, splitter guard and
the regular saw blade from the arbor.
4. Attach and adjust the dado blade system as
recommended in the dado blade’s instruc-
tions. Raise the blade system according to
your needs. Make sure it will not cut through
the workpiece.
5. If rabbeting along the length of your work-
piece, adjust the distance between the fence
and the outside edge of the blade to suit your
needs. See Figure 41. When cutting across
the wood grain, use the miter gauge as a
guide while rabbeting. Remember: Never
use the fence as a stop in conjunction with
your miter gauge.
6. Using a scrap as a test piece, switch on the
saw and take a pass over the dado blade.
7. If the cut is satisfactory, repeat with your fin-
ish stock.
8. Re-install the blade guard.
Always use push sticks, featherboards,
push paddles and other safety accessories
whenever possible to increase safety and
control during operations which require
that the blade guard and splitter must be
removed from the saw. ALWAYS replace the
blade guard after dadoing is complete.
Instructions on using moulding heads have
been intentionally left out. They are very
dangerous when not used properly.
Considerable skill and training beyond the
scope of this manual are required to safely
operate a moulding head. Serious personal
injury could result if this warning is not fol-
lowed.

Figure 41. Rabbet cutting.
Rabbeting operations can also be accomplished
using a conventional saw blade. To create a sin-
gle-blade rabbet:
1. Clearly mark the width of the rabbet cut on
your workpiece. Include marks on the edge
of your workpiece so you can clearly identify
your intended cut while the material is laying
flat on the saw table.
2. Set the blade height to the depth of cut you
wish to create.
3. If the rabbet runs the length of the material,
adjust the fence so the blade is aligned with
the inside of your rabbet channel.
4. Turn on your saw and make the first cut.
5. Turn off the saw and readjust the fence so
that the next cut will remove another portion
of the wood stock between the inside edge of
the rabbet and the edge of the wood.
6. Turn on the saw and make a second cut.
7. Continue to readjust the blade and cut until
the entire rabbet is made.
8. Re-install the blade guard.
