dado set if manufacturer instructions differ
from the ones provided below.
1. Disconnect plug from power source.
2. Remove the barrier guard assembly and
anti-kickback device (see page 17 and
18). Lower and lock the Riving Knife in
its lowest position.
3. Remove standard table insert plate.
Raise saw blade to maximum height.
4. Remove the arbor nut, then outer
washer, saw blade, and inner blade
washer (see page 20). Note: For only
dado cutting, the washers must be in-
stalled differently (Fig. 63).
5. Installing a dado stack (Fig. 62)
A. Place the (flat) outer washer back
onto the arbor shaft. For dado cut-
ting, this will serve as the inner
washer.
B. Place the desired parts of the dado
set onto the arbor shaft.
C. Place the supplied washer from the
Dado Accessory Kit (TS1007) onto
the outside of the dado stack.
D. Replace and tighten the arbor nut
onto the arbor shaft (Fig. 63).
6. Placing dado blades and chippers: (see
Fig. 62)
● For 1/4" (6mm) wide cuts, place the
two outside dado blades (cutters) on
the shaft. The two dado outside
blades may be different, check for in-
formation on the blade and the man-
ufacturer's instructions for proper
installation.
● For wider cuts (up to 13/16"
[20.6mm] maximum), chipper blades
and spacers can be placed only be-
tween the outside blades (cutters).
NOTE: The arbor nut must be fully engaged
on shaft threads. If the stacked width is more
than 1/2" (13mm), do not use the table saws'
inner washer. Instead, use the accessory
dado washer (included with Bosch Dado
Table Insert TS1007). With this saw, do not
exceed a stacked width greater than 13/16"
(20.6mm)
.
7. Lower the blades below the table top
and insert the Bosch Dado Table Insert
TS1007 (Fig. 64). Raise the cutters to
the desired depth of cut (above the in-
sert). Check that the tool is not plugged

into a power source; then carefully ro-
tate the cutters by hand to make sure all
components are tightly held and no in-
terferences exist.
8. Plug saw into power source. Using
scrap wood, make practice dado cuts
and adjust height accordingly.
NOTE: Because dado cuts are non-thru cuts,
the miter gauge can be used with the rip
fence locked in place. This is helpful when
making repeat dado cross-cuts from the ends
of more than one work piece. Each piece is
held against the miter gauge and its end
slides along the rip fence at a preset dis-
tance.
Depending on the final depth of cut and/or
the density of the material, it may be required
to make multiple cuts starting with small
(6mm)
depths of 1/4"
progressing to final depth. When performing
extensive repetitive dado cutting, periodically
check the work pieces to see that the depth
