TO MAKE NON-THROUGH CUTS

Non-throughcuts can be made with the grain (ripping) or across the grain (crosscut). The use of a non-

through cut is essential to cutting grooves, rabbets, and dadoes. This is the only type cut that is made without the blade guard installed. Make sure the blade guard assembly is reinstalled upon completion of this type of cut. Read the appropriate section which describes the type of cut in addition to this section on non-through or dado cuts. For example, if your non- through cut is a straight cross cut, read and under- stand the section on straight cross cuts before pro- ceeding.
