Proper dado operations will differ depending on the
blade system you choose. Consult the instructions
included with your dado blades for directions regarding
attachment and adjustment.
1. Remove the table insert, splitter guard, and regular
saw blade.
2. Attach and adjust the dado blade system as
recommended in the dado blade's instructions.’
3. Install the dado table insert.(Not included)
4. Raise the blade system up to the desired depth of
the dado. Make sure the dado blade will not cut
through the workpiece.
5. Reconnect the saw to the power source.
6. If dadoing along the length of your workpiece, adjust
the distance between the fence and the inside edge
of the blade to suit your needs. When cutting across
the wood grain, use the miter gauge as a guide
while dadoing.
Never use the fence as
a stop in conjunction with your miter gauge.
7. Using a scrap piece as a test piece, switch on the
saw and take a pass over the dado blade.
8. If the cut is satisfactory, repeat with your finish stock.
9. Avoid taking too deep a cut in a single pass. Make
Incremental cuts to avoid kickback.
