OPERATION
MAKING A DADO CUT
See Figure 45.
An optional dado throat plate is required for this procedure (refer to the Accessories section later in this manual and check with the retailer where the table saw was purchased). All blades and dado sets must not be rated less than the speed of this tool. This saw is designed for use with a 6 in. stack dado (up to width of 13/16 in.). Do not use an adjustable dado on this saw.
NOTE: This saw cannot be used to make a bevel dado cut.
Unplug the saw.
Lower the blade.
Remove the blade guard assembly, throat plate, and the saw blade.
Remove the inner blade washer and the spacer. See Figure 47.
Reinstall the inner blade washer.
Mount the dado blade, using the blade and chippers appropriate for the desired width of cut.
Reinstall the arbor nut.
Make sure the arbor nut is fully engaged and the arbor extends at least one full thread past a securely tightened arbor nut.
When mounting dado blades, make sure both the inner blade washer and outer blade washer are used.
WARNING:
Always put all spacers in proper location when changing back to saw blade. Failure to do so may result in possible injury and damage to the tool.
WARNING:
Always use push blocks, push sticks, or featherboards when making dado cuts to avoid the risk of serious injury.
