10.If the cut is satisfactory, repeat with your fin- ish stock.
ALWAYS replace the blade guard after dadoing is complete. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury.
Using a standard saw blade:
1.Clearly mark the width of the dado cut on your workpiece. Include marks on the edge of your workpiece so you can clearly identify your intended cut while the material is laying flat on the saw table.
2.Raise the blade up to the desired depth of cut (depth of dado channel desired).
3.If dadoing along the long length of your work- piece, adjust the fence so the blade is aligned with the inside of your dado channel as shown in Figure 33.
Figure 33. Single-blade dado cut.
Never allow hands or arms to be above or behind the saw blade. Should kickback occur, the hands and arms could be pulled into the saw blade causing serious person- al injury.
Always use push sticks, featherboards, push paddles and other safety accessories whenever possible to increase safety and control during operations which require the blade guard and splitter to be removed from the saw. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury.
4.Turn on the saw and allow the blade to reach full speed.
5.Perform a test cut on a scrap piece of wood. Determine if the depth of cut is correct.
6.If the cut is satisfactory, repeat with your fin- ish stock.
Always turn the saw off and wait until the blade has come to a complete stop before adjusting the fence. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury.
