DADO CUTS (FIG. FF)

1.The dado table insert is included with this saw.

Remove the saw blade, the blade guard, and the table insert. Install the dado and dado table insert.

3.The arbor (1) on this saw restricts the maximum width of the cut to 1/2".

4.It is not necessary to install the outside flange (2) before screwing on the arbor nut (3). Make sure that the arbor nut is tight, and that at least one thread of the arbor sticks out past the nut.

5.Use only the 6" dado set and keep the width 1/2" or less. It will be necessary to remove the blade guard and splitter when using dado. Use caution when dado is operating.

6.Use onlythe correctnumber of roundoutside blades

and inside chippersas shownin the dado set'sinstruction manual. Blade or chippermust not exceed 1/2".

7.Check saw to ensure that the dado will not strike the housing, insert, or motor when in operation.

USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (FIG. EE)

When performing some special cutting operations, add

a wood facing (1) to either side of the rip fence (2):

1.Use a smooth straight 3/4" thick wood board (1) that is as long as the rip fence.

2.Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screws (3) through the boles in the fence. A wood fence should be used when ripping material such as

thin paneling to prevent the material from catching between the bottom of the fence and the table.

For your own safety, always replace the blade, blade guard assembly, and blade insert when you are finished with the dado operation.
