Cutting rabbets with the dado blade:

1.Adjust the saw blade to the maximum height needed for the rabbeting operation.

Never perform a through cut operation with a dado blade. A dado blade was designed to make non-through cuts only. Failure to fol- low this warning could result in serious per- sonal injury.

2.If rabbeting along the long length of your workpiece, adjust the distance between the fence and the workpiece to suit your needs as shown in Figure 36.
