Blade Tilt/Bevel Cuts

When the blade tilt stop bolts are properly adjust- ed (Page 65), the blade tilt handwheel allows the operator to tilt the blade to the left, anywhere between 0° and 45°. This is used most often when cutting bevels, compound miters or chamfers. Figure 58 shows an example of the blade when tilted to 45°.

Dado Cutting

Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a straight channel cut in the face of the workpiece. Dadoes can be cut using either a dedicated dado blade or a standard saw blade. Figure 59 shows a cutaway view of a dado cut being made with a dado blade.

Installing a Dado Blade

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

2.Remove the table insert, the blade guard assembly or riving knife, and the saw blade.

3.Attach and adjust the dado blade system according to the dado blade manufacturer’s instructions

4.Install the dado table insert.

Dado blades have a higher risk of kickback than normal blades because their larger size applies stronger forces to the workpiece. This risk increases relative to the depth and width of the cut. To minimize your risk of serious personal injury, ensure that stock is flat and straight, and make multiple light cuts (rather than one deep cut) to achieve the desired cutting depth.

DO NOT make through cuts with a dado blade. Dado blades are only intended for non-through cuts. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious injury.

Never try to dado a warped board by holding it down against the table. If kickback occurs, your hand will likely be pulled into the blade, resulting in serious personal injury.
