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. Refer to GX^\ */ to install a dado blade on this saw.

The table saw motor is pushed to its limits when cutting with a dado blade. To reduce the risk of kickback and personal injury, do not make the full cut in one pass. Instead make multiple light cuts until the cut reaches the desired depth.

1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2.Remove the table insert, the blade guard, riving knife, and the saw blade.
3.Assemble or adjust the dado blade system according to the dado blade manufacturer’s instructions, then install the dado blade as instructed on GX^\*/.
4.Raise the dado blade up to the desired depth of cut (depth of dado channel desired). When cutting deep dadoes, take more than one pass to reduce the risk of kickback.
5.Adjust the distance between the rip fence and the inside edge of the blade, as shown in Figure .0, to dado the length of a workpiece.
Dado operations require proper pro- cedures to avoid serious injury. Extra care must be taken to prevent kick- back when using dado blades. Any movement of the workpiece away from the fence will cause kickback. Be certain that stock is flat and straight. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury.
DO NOT make a
The danger of kickback increases relative to the depth and width of a cut. Reduce the risk of kickback by making multiple passes to achieve the desired depth of cut. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious personal injury.

6.If dadoing across the workpiece, use the miter gauge and carefully line up the desired cut with the dado blade. DO NOT use the fence in combination with the miter gauge.
7.Reconnect the saw to the power source.
