DADO CUTS (FIG. XX)
1. To perform dado cutting with a stacked dado blade
set a special insert must be used. See page 30 and
31 for ordering information. Remove the saw blade,
original table insert and blade guard. Install the dado
and dado blade insert.
2. Instruction for operating the dado is packed with the
separately purchased dado set. (not included with
unit)
3. The arbor (1) on this saw restricts the maximum
width of the cut to 13/16 in. (20.6 mm).
4. When making full 13/16 in. (20.6 mm) dado cuts, it is
not necessary to install the outside flange (2) before
screwing on the arbor nut (3). Make sure that the
arbor nut (3) is tight, and that at least one thread of
the arbor sticks out past the nut.
5. Do not exceed 8 inches (203.2 mm) diameter dadoes
and keep the width 13/16 in. (20.6 mm) or less. It will
be necessary to remove the blade guard and riving
knife when using a dado blade. Always use caution
when operating a dado blade.
6. Use only the correct number of round outside blades
and inside chippers as shown in the dado set’s
instruction manual. Blade or chipper must not exceed
13/16 inch (20.6 mm).
7. Check saw to ensure that the dado will not strike the
housing, insert, or motor when in operation.
For your own safety, always replace the blade, blade
guard assembly, and blade insert when you are
finished with the dado operation.
