OPERATION

APPLICATIONS

You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:

nFor cutting up to 5/8 in. maximum width dadoes on BTS15 Ryobi table saw.

WARNING:

Never install a dado set to cut a larger groove than a width of 5/8 in. Installing a wider dado set could result in insufficient thread engagement of the arbor nut. Never use any blade or dado set with less than full engagement of the nut on the threaded arbor shaft. Insufficient thread engagement could result in the blade or dado loosening on the arbor shaft and could result in serious personal injury.

USING A DADO INSERT

nMake sure the wood is not touching the blade. Plug in the saw, insert the switch key, and turn the saw on. Let the saw build up to full speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade. Always use push sticks or push blocks with any non-through cuts.

NOTE: Never use this dado throat plate with a dado set larger than 6 in..

WARNING:

Always use push sticks or push blocks when making non-through cuts to avoid the risk of serious injury. Never feed wood with your hands.

nFollow all dado instructions.

nWhen the work is complete, turn the saw off, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw.

nLower the blade below the table surface.

WARNING:

Lower the blade to prevent possible injury.

nRemove the dado insert and dado set.

nReinstall the blade, blade guard assembly, and throat plate following instructions in the BTS15 Operator's Manual.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of injury and before plugging the saw back in, make sure the blade guard is installed and working properly.
