OPERATION PRECAUTIONS & SAFETY
Do not use this tool if any
components are damaged .
Contact your dealer or
manufacturer for replacement
parts .
When not in use, store this
product on a flat, clean
surface .
The machine tabletop used
in conjunction with this tool
must be flat and free from
obstructions other than the
required fence and one
cutting element . The tabletop
must be reasonably level and
below the waistline .
You must have a sturdy,
straight rip fence with a flat
front surface preferably at
least 2 .5–3” in height and
square to the tabletop . The rip
fence must be long enough
to cover the entire depth
from the front to the rear of
your tabletop . The rip fence
must also be equipped with a
locking mechanism to secure
it on the tabletop so that it is
parallel to the saw blade at all
scale settings .
WARNING!
DO NOT SKEW THE RIP
FENCE! The Dado Stop is
designed to attach parallel
to the saw blade.
The rip fence should also be
accurately calibrated to a
fixed scale to secure a precise
cutting width setting .
A sharp, clean carbide-tipped
saw blade should be used
with this tool for crosscutting,
unless otherwise specified .
Ensure that your saw blade is
set vertically at an absolute 90
degree angle .
Ensure that your miter gauge
fits properly and has no play
within the miter slot .

ALIGN YOUR BLADE
FOR BEST RESULTS: ALIGN YOUR BLADE
IMPORTANT:
Run-out varies from table saw to table saw, saw blade
to saw blade, or a combination of both.
Each calibrated MATCHFIT
Setup Gauge works with only one saw blade and table saw
combination.
To ensure precise fitting dados when changing saw blades,
prepare the blade with a
reference point.
This allows you
to quickly realign your blade to the original setting of your
Setup Gauge.
Use an oil-based paint marker to
draw reference dots on the arbor
flanges, saw blade, and stiffener
(if applicable) .
Align all reference dots each time
this saw blade is installed on this
table saw .
