DADO CUTS (FIG. HH)
• Only Stackable dado blades can be used on this
saw.
• DO NOT use Adjustable or Wobble type dadoes.
• Maximum dado cut width is
1/2 in.
1. A dado table insert must be purchased separately for
this saw to accept a dado blade. Remove saw blade
and blade guard for dado cuts ONLY. Reinstall and
realign blade guard for all through-sawing operations.
Install a dado not exceeding 6 in. in diameter and
’/2
in. in width
2. Install the dado table insert making sure the rear of
the insert is flush with the table. A rubber adjusting
spacer is provided under the rear of the insert for this
purpose.
3. instruction for operating the dado is packed with the
separately purchased dado set.
4. The arbor (1) on this saw restricts the maximum
width of the cut to ’/2 in.
5. it is not necessary to install the outside flange (2)
before threading on the arbor nut (3) for maximum
1/2 in. dado cuts. Make sure that the arbor nut (3) is
tight, and that at least one thread of the arbor sticks
out past the nut.
Use only the correct number of round outside blades
and inside chippers as shown in the dado set’s
instruction manual. Blade/chippers must not exceed
1/2 in. total in width.
Check saw to ensure that the dado will not strike the
housing, insert, or motor when in operation.
