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.
Never try to dado a warped board by holding
it down against the table. If kickback occurs,
your hand will likely be pulled into the blade,
resulting in serious personal injury.
