Model G0764Z (Mfd. Since 10/15)
Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a
straight channel cut in the face of the workpiece.
Typically, dadoes can be cut using either a
dedicated dado blade or a standard saw blade.
However, since the Model G0764Z cannot accept
dado blades, a standard blade must be used.
To use standard saw blade to cut a dado:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Mark width of dado cut on workpiece. Include
marks on edge of workpiece so cut path can
be aligned when workpiece is lying on table.
3. Raise blade to desired depth of dado chan-
nel.
4. Align workpiece with blade to cut one of dado
sides, as shown in
Figure 124, then align rip
fence with workpiece.

5. Reconnect saw to power and turn saw ON.
6. Allow blade to reach full speed, then perform
the cutting operation.
8. Make additional cuts (see Figure 126) in
center of dado to clear out necessary mate-
rial. Dado is complete when channel is com-
pletely cleared out.

7. Repeat cutting operation on other side of
dado channel, as shown in
Figure 125.
Adjust rip fence to properly support
workpiece for each of the dado cuts. This
will reduce likelihood of kickback and injury.
