OPERATION
TO MAKE DADO CUTS
A dado is a non-through cut and typically refers to a channel
cut, both with the grain and across the grain. (The Ryobi part
number for the 6 in. dado set is 4650306.)
Unplug your saw.
WARNING:
Unplug the saw to avoid possible injury.
Remove the blade guard assembly. See page 25.
Retighten the two hex nuts on base assembly.
Remove the blade.
Remove the appropriate spacers on the blade arbor to get
the correct width for the dado blade.
Reinstall the inner blade washer.
Mount the dado blade, using the instructions with the dado
set.
Reinstall the outer blade washer and arbor nut.
Make sure the arbor nut is fully engaged and the arbor
extends at least one full thread past a securely tightened
arbor nut.
When mounting dado blades, make sure both the inner
blade washer and outer blade washer are used.
Replace the throat plate with optional Dado Throat Plate
(4070331). When ordering parts, always give the model

WARNING:
Always put all spacers in proper location when changing
back to saw blade. Failure to do so may result in possible
injury and damage to the tool.
WARNING:
Always use push blocks, push sticks, or featherboards
when making dado cuts to avoid the risk of serious injury.
WARNING:
All blades must be rated for at least 5,500 RPM to prevent
possible injury or damage to the tool.
