Skil 3310 manual Returning SAW to Normal THRU-CUTTING, Adjustable or Wobble Dado Sets

! WARNING

SM 2610008289 02-10:3310 Table Saw 2/2/10 8:39 AM Page 70

To reduce the risk of injury, never use a ! WARNING single dado blade for normal saw thru-

cutting. Never use chippers without both outside cutters. Read and follow all Operation/Safety Instructions included with the dado set.

NOTE: The arbor nut must be fully engaged on the shaft threads. If the stacked width is more than 5/16”, do not use the table saw’s outer washer and nut. Instead use the accessory nut with integral washer (Fig. 52). With this saw, do not exceed a stacked dado width greater than 1/2”.

7.Lower the blades below the table top and insert the Skil Dado Table Insert (2610011336) (Fig. 53). Raise the cutters to the desired depth of cut (above the insert). Check that the tool is not plugged into a power source; then carefully rotate the cutters by hand to make sure all components are tightly held and no interferences exist.

8.Plug saw into power source. Using scrap wood, make practice dado cuts and adjust height accordingly.

To reduce the risk of injury, never pass your ! WARNING hands over the cutting dado blades. Dado

cuts are non-thru (blind) cuts. Many times the cutters cannot be seen during cutting. See page 66 for instructions on Non Thru- sawing.

To reduce the risk of injury, never make freehand cuts. The work piece must be held against the saw's fence or miter gauge as it is being fed.

Whenever possible, use push sticks and push blocks for cutting (see page 64). Always use feather boards, attached to the table or fence, when rip cutting (See page 66). When cross cutting, firmly hold work piece against the miter gauge (see page 60).

NOTE: Because dado cuts are non-thru cuts, the miter gauge can be used with the fence locked in place. This is helpful when making repeat dado cross-cuts from the ends of more than one work piece. Each piece is held against the miter gauge and its end slides along the fence at a preset distance.

Depending on the final depth of cut and/or the density of the material, it may be required to make multiple cuts starting with small depths of 1/4” to 1/2” and progressing to final depth. When performing extensive repetitive dado cutting, periodically check the work pieces to see that the depth of cut is maintained.

RETURNING SAW TO NORMAL THRU-CUTTING

After completing your Dado cutting, be sure to return the inner and outer washers to the original positions (see page 34 for details). It is important that the original equipment washers are in the proper positions so that the saw blade always aligns with the permanently installed riving knife.

ADJUSTABLE OR WOBBLE DADO SETS

To reduce the risk of injury, do not use ! WARNING adjustable or “wobble” dado sets on this

saw. Adjustable dado sets can be easily set to positions that may interfere with working components of this saw.
