Accessories
Information for Dado
1. Put inside loose collar on arbor shaft first,
then install dado. Tighten blade nut directly
against outside surface of dado.
2. Saw arbor is designed for dado up to
13/16" wide. Use of wider dado could cause
dado and blade nut to spin off. To make larg-
er than 13/16" wide cut, take several passes
with dado.
3. To avoid excessive load on motor when
making a 13/16" wide cut, limit depth of cut
to 1/8" in one pass.
Information for Edging
Edging is the use of a dado or molding head
in the horizontal position. Edging requires
the use of a molding head guard (see
Accessories List)
1. Use molding head guard for edging with
molding head mad dado blade. Follow
instructions that come with guard. Do not
edge with a blade.
,_DANGER
Edging without a guard can bring
hands and fingers too close to
blade. Hands, fingers and arm could
be cut off. Buy, install, and follow
instructions for molding head
guard.
,_WARNING
Blade cannot be guarded in hori-
zontal position. Edge with guarded
molding head or dado. Do not edge
with blade.
2. Whenever possible, edge with arm locked
at indexed 0° miter, so blade carriage is
more likely to lock firmly.
3. Before edging, with saw unplugged mad
yellow key out, turn cutting tool by hand to
make sure it does not strike guard or any
other part of saw.
