TO MAKE DADO CUTS
A dado is a non-through cut and typically refers to a
channel cut, both with the grain and across the grain.
An optional dado throat plate is available for your saw.
Refer to the accessory section of this manual and
check with your nearest Sears Retail Store for
information on dado throat plates and blades for your
table saw.

WARNING: Unplug the saw to avoid possible
injury.
■ Remove the riving knife and guard assembly. See
Figure 19, on page 20.
■ Retighten the two hex nuts on base assembly.
■ Remove the blade. '
■ Remove the appropriate spacers on the blade arbor
to get the correct width for the dado blade.
■ Mount the dado blade, using the instructions with
the dado set.
■ Make sure the arbor nut is fully engaged and the
arbor extends at least one full thread past a
securely tightened arbor nut.
■ When mounting dado blades, make sure both the
inner blade washer and outer blade washer are
used.
■ Replace the throat plate with optional Dado Throat
Plate.
WARNING: Always put all spacers in proper
location when changing back to saw blade.
Failure to do so may result in possible injury and
damage to the tool.

featherboards when making dado cuts to avoid the
risk of serious injury.
WARNING: All blades must be rated for at least
5,500 RPM to prevent possible injury or damage
