Instructions for operating the saw with Dado Head sets are contained in the booklet furnished with these accessories.

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 GTS1031 table saw can accommodate dado cutting up to 1/2” wide in a single pass.

To reduce the risk of injury, al- ways disconnect plug from

power source before changing blades.

To reduce the risk of injury, al- ways use the bosch dado blade Table Insert No.TS1013 (comes with a dado ac-

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

! WARNING	To reduce the risk of injury, do
	not use dado sets larger than 8

inches in diameter. The saw is not designed to ac- cept larger sized dados.
