6.Adjust the distance between the fence and the inside edge of the blade as shown in Figure 45 to dado the length of a workpiece.
Figure 45. Stacked or wobble dado cut.
7.If dadoing across the workpiece, use the miter gauge and carefully line up the desired cut with the dado blade. DO NOT use the fence in combination with the miter gauge.
Never try to dado a board that is not flat by holding it down against the table. If kick- back occurs, your hand will likely be pulled into the blade, resulting in serious personal injury.
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.

8.Reconnect the saw to the power source.
9.Turn the saw ON. The blade should run smooth, with no vibrations.
10.When the blade has reached full speed, per- form a test cut with a scrap piece of wood.
11.If the cut is satisfactory, repeat the cut with the actual workpiece.
Using a Standard Saw Blade to Cut Dadoes
Note: Reduce motor overloading and blade wear by using a ripping blade. Ripping blades are designed to clear the sawdust quickly. See Page 31 for more details.
1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2.Ensure that the riving knife and standard insert are installed.
3.Mark the width of the dado cut on the workpiece. Include marks on the edge of the workpiece so the cut path can be aligned when the workpiece is lying on the table. Raise the blade up to the desired depth of cut (depth of dado channel desired). When cut- ting deep dadoes, take more than one pass to reduce the risk of kickback.
The danger of kickback increases relative to the depth and width of a cut. Reduce the risk of kickback by making multiple passes to achieve the desired depth of cut. Failure to follow these warnings could result in seri- ous personal injury.
4.If dadoing across the workpiece, use the miter gauge to support the workpiece, and align the blade to cut one of the dado sides. DO NOT use the fence in combination with the miter gauge.
