MAKING A DADO CUT

See Figure 49.

An optional dado throat plate is required for this proce- dure (see the Accessories section of this manual). All blades and dado sets must not be rated less than the speed of this tool. This saw is designed for 5/8 in. dado cuts. With the purchase of an optional dado throat plate, it can be used with a 6 in. stack dado (up to width of 3/4 in.). Do not use an adjustable dado or molding cutters on this saw.

[] Make sure the blade nut is fully engaged and the arbor extends past a securely tightened blade nut.

[] Place release lever in locked position.

[] Install the dado throat plate and rotate the blade by hand to make sure it turns freely then lower the blade.

[] Depending on the shape and size of the wood, use either the rip fence or miter gauge.

[] Turn the saw on.

NOTE: Make sure the wood does not touch the blade before you turn on the saw. Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.

[] Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge flush against the rip fence or miter gauge and hold firmly against the saw table.

[] Use a push block or push stick to move the wood through the cut past the blade. Never push a small piece of wood into the blade with your hand, always use a push stick. The use of push blocks, push sticks, and featherboards are necessary when making non- through cuts.

[] When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece.

Once aII dado cuts are completed: [] Unplug your saw.

[] Reinstall the spreader/riving knife inthe "up" position then install the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.

DADOCUT

A WARNING: Always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or featherboards when making dado cuts to avoid the risk of serious injury.

[] Unplug the saw.

[] Remove the blade guard, anti-kickback pawls, throat plate, and spreader/riving knife.

[] Remove the blade nut, blade washer, saw blade, and inner blade washer.

NOTE: Always store the blade washer and throat plate in a secure location.

[] Install the special blade washer included with the dado throat plate (purchased separately).

[] Mount the dado blade, according to manufacturer

instructions, using the blade and chippers appropriate for the desired width of cut.

[] Reinstall the blade nut.

NOTE: The blade washer may be used provided the arbor shaft extends slightly beyond the arbor nut.
