Blade Tilt/Bevel Cuts
When the blade tilt collar bolts are properly adjust-
ed (as described starting on
Page 65), the blade
tilt handwheel allows the operator to tilt the blade
to the left, between 0° and 45°. This is used most
often when cutting bevels, compound miters, or
chamfers.
Figure 63 shows an example of the
blade when tilted to 45°.

Installing a Dado Blade
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove table insert, blade guard assembly
or riving knife, arbor nut, flange, and saw
blade.
3. Attach and adjust dado blade system accord-
ing to dado blade manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, and secure with included dado blade
flange and arbor nut.
4. Install dado table insert.
The Model G0899 can accommodate dado blades
up to 8" in diameter. However, you MUST install
the included riving knife while using a 8" diameter
dado blade, as it provides a barrier behind the
blade and reduces the risk of hands being pulled
into the blade if kickback occurs.
DO NOT use the riving knife if you install a dado
blade smaller than 8" in diameter. Otherwise, the
riving knife height will exceed the blade height
and the workpiece will hit the riving knife during
the cut, forcing the operator into a dangerous
situation and trying to turn the saw off with the
workpiece stuck halfway through the cut.
Never try to cut a warped board by hold-
ing it down against the table. If kickback
occurs, your hand could be pulled into the
blade, resulting in accidental contact with
the rotating blade, causing severe lacera-
tions or amputation.
DO NOT make through cuts with a dado
blade. The extra width of a dado blade
will increase the risk of kickback during a
through cut. Dado blades are only intended
for non-through cuts. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious injury.
Dado Cutting

dado blade.
Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a
straight channel cut in the face of the workpiece.
Dadoes are "non-through" cuts that can be made
with a dado blade or a standard saw blade. The
Figure below shows a cutaway view of a dado cut
being made with a dado blade.
