Information for Dado
1. Put inside loose collar on arbor shaft
first, then install dado. Tighten blade nut directly against outside surface of dado.
2.Saw arbor is designed for dado up to 13%"wide. Use of wider dado could cause
dado and blade nut to spin off. To make larger than 13q6"wide cut, take several pas- ses with dado.
3. To avoid excessive load on motor when making a 13qC wide cut, limit depth of cut to W' in one pass.
Information for Edging
Edging is the use of a dado or molding
head in the horizontal position. Edging re- quires the use of a molding head guard
(see Accessories List) and an auxiliary fence (see Cutting Aides).
1.Use molding head guard for edging
with molding head and dado blade. Fol-
low instructions that come with guard. Do not edge with a blade.
,_ DANGER
Edging without a guard can bring
hands and fingers too close to blade. Hands, fingers and arm could be cut off. Buy, install, and follow instructions for molding head guard.
,_ DANGER
Blade cannot be guarded in horizon-
tal position. Edge with guarded molding head or dado. Do not edge with blade.
2. Install auxiliary fence (see Cutting Aides) to allow positioning of cutting tool behind fence.
3.Whenever possible, edge with arm locked at indexed 0 ° miter, so blade car- riage is more likely to lock firmly.
