TO MAKE NON-THROUGH CUTS
Non-throughcuts can be made withthe grain (ripping)
or across the grain (crosscut). The use of a non-
through cut is essential to cutting grooves, rabbets,
and dadoes. This is the only type cut that is made
without the blade guard installed. Make sure the blade
guard assembly isreinstalled upon completionofthis
type of cut. Read the appropriate section which
describes the type ofcut inaddition to this section on
non-through or dado cuts. For example, if your non-
through cut is a straight cross cut, read and under-
standthe section on straight cross cuts before pro-
ceeding.
