OPERATION
WARNING:
Never install a dado set to cut a larger groove than
7/16 in. in width. Installing a wider dado set could
result in insufficient thread engagement of the arbor
nut. Never use any blade or dado set with less than
full engagement of the nut of the threaded arbor shaft.
Insufficient thread engagement could result in the blade
or dado loosening on the arbor shaft and could result in
serious personal injury.
USING A DADO INSERT
n Make sure the wood is not touching the blade. Plug in the
saw, insert the switch key, and turn the saw on. Let the
saw build up to full speed before feeding the workpiece
into the blade. Always use push sticks or push blocks
with dado cuts.
