Groove cutting
WARNING:
Do not attempt to perform this
type of cut by using a wider type blade or dado
blade. Attempting to make a groove cut with a wider
blade or dado blade could lead to unexpected cutting
results and kickback which may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Be sure to return the stopper arm
to the original position when performing other
than groove cutting. Attempting to make cuts with
the stopper arm in the incorrect position could lead to
unexpected cutting results and kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
For a dado type cut, perform as follows:
1. Adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade
using the adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit
the cutting depth of the saw blade. Refer to the section
for stopper arm.
2. After adjusting the lower limit position of the saw
blade, cut parallel grooves across the width of the work-
piece using a slide (push) cut.

3.
Remove the workpiece material between the
grooves with a chisel.
