INSTALLING A DADO SET

A dado set is an accessory system used to make non-thru grooves or lap cuts on work pieces. These tools are commonly used in furniture and cabinet building. After work pieces have been properly dado cut, they can be tightly joined together. The 4100 table saw can accommodate dado cutting up to 13/16” wide in a single pass.

!To reduce the risk of injury, always WARNING disconnect plug from power source before

changing blades.

To reduce the risk of injury, always use the ! WARNING Bosch Dado Blade Table Insert No.TS1007

(comes with a dado accessory washer). Never make dado cuts without this insert. Do not use dado sets larger than 8” diameter. Never set dado cutters to any bevel angle other than the vertical 0° angle. Follow all warnings and instructions shown here and those that accompany your dado set. Failure to comply with these warnings may result in serious bodily injuries.

5.Installing a dado stack (Fig. 68)

B)Place the desired parts of the dado set onto the arbor shaft.

C)Place the supplied washer from the Dado Accessory Kit (TS1007) onto the outside of the dado stack.

D)Replace and tighten the arbor nut onto the arbor shaft.
