CAUTION:
For a 1/8" cut width, the outside cutter is
assembled to the spindle in the same manner as
the saw blade.
The outer flange must be used for each cut width.
The hex nut alone must not be used to secure the
dado on to the spindle.
NOTE:
When widths slightly greater than the above are
required, fit the paper washers in between the
inside and outside cutters to adjust the width.
1. Arrange the cutters so that the tips of the inside
cutters are positioned at the gullets of the outside
cutter. When more than one inside cutter is used,
space the tips of the inside cutters equidistantly in
relation to one another. Poorly spaced cutters
may cause vibration and noise.

When installing two outside cutters without any inside
cutter, be sure that the cutter tips do not face each other.

2. While tightening the hex nut, be careful to
maintain the even spacing between the tips of the
inside cutters.
3. Rotate the dado head one turn by hand to make
sure that it does not contact anything before
operation.
When dadoing, use featherboards. The diagram shown
illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard.
It should be made from a straight piece of wood that is
free of knots or cracks.
