To reduce the risk of injury, never use a single dado blade for normal saw thru-cutting. Never use chippers

without both outside cutters. Read and follow all Operation/Safety Instructions included with the dado set.

NOTE: With this saw, do not exceed a stacked width greater than 1/2”. Use combination nut/washer sup- plied with the TS1013

7.Lower the blades below the table top and insert the Bosch Dado Table Insert (TS1013) (Fig. 57). Raise the cutters to the desired depth of cut (above the insert). Check that the tool is not plugged into a power source; then carefully rotate the cutters by hand to make sure all components are tightly held and no interferences exist.

8.Plug saw into power source. Using scrap wood, make practice dado cuts and adjust height ac- cordingly.

! WARNING	To reduce the risk of injury,
	never pass your hands over the

cutting dado blades. Dado cuts are non-thru (blind) cuts. Many times the cutters cannot be seen during cutting. See page 31 for instructions on Non Thru- sawing.

To reduce the risk of injury, never make freehand cuts. The work piece must be held against the saw's fence or

miter gauge as it is being fed. Whenever possible, use push sticks and push blocks for cutting (see page 30). Always use feather boards, attached to the table or fence, when rip cutting (See page 31). When cross cutting, firmly hold work piece against the miter gauge (see page 27).

NOTE: Because dado cuts are non-thru cuts, the miter gauge can be used with the fence locked in place. This is helpful when making repeat dado cross-cuts from the ends of more than one work piece. Each piece is held against the miter gauge and its end slides along the fence at a preset dis- tance.

Depending on the final depth of cut and/or the den- sity of the material, it may be required to make mul- tiple cuts starting with small depths of 1/4” to 1/2” and progressing to final depth. When performing ex- tensive repetitive dado cutting, periodically check the work pieces to see that the depth of cut is main- tained.

RETURNINg SAW TO NORMAl

THRU-CUTTINg

After completing your Dado cutting, be sure to return the inner and outer washers to the original positions (see page15 for details). It is important that the orig- inal equipment washers are in the proper positions so that the saw blade always aligns with the perma- nently installed riving knife.

AdjUSTAblE OR WObblE dAdO SETS To reduce the risk of injury, do not use adjustable or “wobble”

dado sets on this saw. Adjustable dado sets can be easily set to positions that may interfere with working components of this saw.
