Do not crosscut workpieces shorter than 6". Before starting a cut, be sure the miter gauge is securely clamped at the desired angle. Hold the workpiece firmly against the table and back against the miter gauge. Always use the saw guard and riving knife and make sure the riving knife is properly aligned.
Figure 41 The process of cutting 1/8" to 13/16" grooves in workpieces is accomplished by the use of a stacked dado blade set or an adjustable type blade mounted on the saw arbor. By using various combinations of stacked dado blades, or properly setting the dial on an adjustable blade, an accurate width dado can be made.
