result in tool damage and personal injury.
Do not use dado sets small-
er than 6” in diameter. Use
of a dado set smaller than 6” in diameter prevents
the Active Response Technology™ injury mitiga-
tion system from detecting contact between the
operator and cutter. When using a dado set small-
er than 6” in diameter severe injury is possible
even when the Active Response Technology™
system is activated if the operator contacts the
blade.
A dado set is an accessory system used to make
non-through grooves or lap cuts on work pieces.
These tools are commonly used in furniture and
cabinet building. After work pieces have been
properly dado cut, they can be tightly joined to-
gether. The GTS1041A table saw can accommo-
date dado cutting up to 13/16” wide in a single
pass.
Instructions for operating the saw with Dado sets
are contained in the booklet furnished with these
accessories.
ALWAYS USE AN APPROPRIATE BOSCH TA-
BLE INSERT AND WASHERS LISTED UNDER
RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES (see page
44).
ALWAYS PLACE THE BLADE WASHERS IN
THE ORIGINAL POSITIONS WHEN YOU ARE
FINISHED DADO OR MOLDING CUTTING.
INSTALLING A DADO SET
To reduce the risk of injury,
always disconnect plug
from power source before changing blades.
To reduce the risk of injury,
always use the Bosch dado
blade Table Insert No. TS1006 (comes with a
dado accessory clamp bolt). Never make dado
cuts without this insert. Do not use dado sets
larger than 8” diameter. Never set dado cutters to
any bevel angle other than the vertical 0° angle.
Follow all warnings and instructions shown here
and those that accompany your dado set. Failure
to comply with these warnings may result in seri-
ous bodily injuries.
For dado stacks larger than
1/2” in width Bosch Dado
Accessory Kit (TS1006) must be used. Use of
dado stacks larger than 1/2” without Bosch Dado
Accessory Kit (TS1006) in width may result in tool
damage and personal injury.
To reduce the risk of injury,
never use a single dado
blade for normal saw through-cutting. Never
use chippers without both outside cutters.
Read and follow all Operation/Safety Instruc-
tions included with the dado set.
NOTE: These instructions apply to most standard
stacked dado sets.
Use of a “wobble” style dado cutter prevents the
Active Response Technology™ injury mitigation
system from detecting contact between the op-
erator and cutter. These cutters change the sig-
nal detected by the system during every rotation
of the blade. When using wobble or adjustable
dado severe injury is possible even when the Ac-
tive Response Technology™ system is activated
by the operator contact with the blade.
1. Disconnect plug from power source.
2. Remove the Barrier Guard Assembly and Anti-
Kickback Pawls (see page 15, 16). Lower and
lock the Riving Knife in its lowest position.
