OPERATION
TO MAKE A DADO CUT
See Figure 59.
An optional dado throat plate is required for this procedure (see the Accessories section of 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.
WARNING:
Unplug the saw to prevent accidental starting that could result in possible injury.
Unplug your saw.
Remove the blade guard assembly.
Retighten the thumbscrew.
Remove the throat plate and the saw blade.
Remove the inner blade washer and both the small and large spacers.
Mount the dado blade, using the blade and chippers appropriate for the desired width of cut.
Reinstall the arbor nut.
NOTE: The outer blade washer may be used provided the arbor shaft extends slightly beyond the arbor nut.
Make sure the arbor nut is fully engaged and the arbor extends past a securely tightened arbor nut.
Install the dado throat plate and rotate the blade by hand to make sure it turns freely then lower the blade.
WARNING:
Always put outer blade washer and the saw's throat plate in proper location when changing back to saw blade. Failure to do so may result in possible injury and damage to the tool.
