Making a dado cut (Fig. 35)
•
Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
•
Depending on the shape and size of the wood, use
either the rip fence or miter gauge.
•
Plug the saw into the power source and turn the saw on.
•
Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the
workpiece into the blade.
•
Always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or
featherboards appropriately when making non-through
cuts to reduce the risk of serious injury.
•
When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
•
Turn saw off and unplug saw.
•
Reinstall the riving knife in the “uppermost” position
then install the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
An optional dado table insert is required for this procedure.
(Dado table insert is sold separately, check
www.craftsman.com). All blades and dado sets must not be
rated less than the speed of this tool. This saw is designed
for use with a 8 in. (200 mm) stack dado (up to width of
1/2 in. (12.7 mm).
WARNING:
When making a non-through cut, the
blade is covered by the workpiece during most of the
cut. Be alert to the exposed blade at the start and
finish of every cut to reduce the risk of personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not use an adjustable dado or molding
cutters on this saw.
WARNING:
Always put all inner and outer flanges in
proper location when reinstalling standard blade.
Failure to do so can result in possible injury and
damage to the tool.
WARNING:
Always use push blocks, push sticks,
and/or featherboards when making dado cuts to
avoid the risk of serious injury.
•
Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge
flush against the rip fence or miter gauge and hold
firmly against the saw table.
• Use a push block or push stick to move the wood
through the cut past the blade. Never push a small
piece of wood into the blade with your hand, always
use a push stick. The use of push blocks, push sticks, and
featherboards are necessary when making non-through
cuts.
•
When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
•
Turn saw off and unplug saw.
•
Remove the blade guard, anti-kickback pawls, and
table insert.
•
Place riving knife in “down” position.
•
Remove the blade nut, outer flange, and saw blade.
•
Mount the dado blade, according to manufacturer
instructions, using the blade and chippers appropriate
for the desired width of cut.
•
Reinstall the blade nut.
•
Make sure the blade nut is fully engaged and the arbor
extends past a securely tightened blade nut.
•
Install the dado table insert and rotate the blade by
hand to make sure it turns freely then lower the blade.
•
Depending on the shape and size of the wood, use
either the rip fence or miter gauge.
•
Install feather board in the appropriate position for the
cut being made.
•
Turn the saw on.
NOTICE:
Always store the outer flange and table insert in a
secure location.
NOTICE:
The outer flange may be used provided the arbor
shaft extends slightly beyond the arbor nut.
NOTICE:
Make sure the wood does not touch the blade before
you turn on the saw. Let the blade build up to full speed before
feeding the workpiece into the blade.
Once all non-through cuts are completed:
•
Turn saw off and unplug saw.
•
Remove the dado table insert and reinstall standard
table insert.
•
Remove the dado blade and reinstall the standard saw
blade.
•
Reinstall the riving knife in the “uppermost” position
then install the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
