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.
