Rough Cutting A Dado
By using the depth adjustment cam it is
possible to rough cut a dado as shown.
On the outside of the depth adjustment
cam are a series of marks. Use these
marks as a reference to help set the blade
to the correct cutting depth.
After the two outside cuts have been com-
pleted the inside material (represented
by slanted lines) is removed with a chisel.
To set the depth stop:
1. Position depth adjustment cam so it
engages locking collar.
2. Loosen lock knob.
3. Position depth stop cam so the power-
head stops at the desired depth.
4.Cut the two outside grooves.
5.Use a wood chisel to remove the mate-
rial between the outside grooves.
6.To override depth setting pull depth
stop cam outward and rotate so flat is
up.
NOTE: It is not necessary to loosen depth
adjustment knob.
NOTE: Because of the sawblades cutting
arc material at the beginning or end of the
cut(s) may have to be removed with a
chisel.
