Dado blades have a higher risk of kickback than
normal blades because their larger size applies
stronger forces to the workpiece. This risk increases
relative to the depth and width of the cut. To
minimize your risk of serious personal injury, ensure
that stock is flat and straight, and make multiple
light cuts (rather than one deep cut) to achieve the
desired cutting depth.

DO NOT make through cuts with a dado
blade. Dado blades are only intended
for non-through cuts. Failure to heed
this warning could result in serious
injury.
