uSINg THE WOOd fAcINg ON THE rIp fENcE
(FIG. bb)
When performing some special cutting operations, you
can add a wood facing to either side of the rip fence ().
. Use a smooth straight 3/4 in. (9 mm) thick wood
board () that is as long as the rip fence.
. Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood
screws (3) (not included) through the holes in the
fence. A wood fence should be used when ripping
material such as thin paneling to prevent the material
from catching between the bottom of the fence and
the table.

NON-THROUGH CUT (FIG. cc)
A non-through cut is used to cut grooves and rabbets in
the workpiece without exposed the blade.

!
• Only this type cut is made without installing the
blade guard and anti-kickback pawl assembly.
• To avoid injury from an accidental start, make
sure the switch is in the OFF position and the
plug is disconnected from the power source
outlet.
• To avoid the risk of personal injury. Always use
push block, auxiliary fence and featherboard
when making non-through cut.
. Remove the blade guard assembly and anti-kickback
pawls assembly for non-through cut.
. Lower the riving knife to its lowest (non-through cut)
position. Lower the blade to the desired height.
3. Use the featherboard () with C-clamps (3) to fasten
the workpiece securely.

saw.
DO NOT use Adjustable or Wobble type dadoes.
•
The maximum dado cut width is 1/2 in. (12.7 mm).
•
The maximum dado blade diameter is 6 in.
•
(152.4 mm).
. To perform dado cutting with a stacked dado blade
set a special insert must be used. See page 36 for
ordering information. Remove the saw blade, original
table insert and blade guard. Install the dado blades
and dado insert plate.
. Instruction for operating the dado is packed with the
separately purchased dado set (not included with
unit).
3. The arbor () on this saw restricts the maximum
width of the cut to / in. (.7 mm).
4. When making full / in. (.7 mm) dado cuts, it is
not necessary to install the outside flange (2) before
screwing on the arbor nut (3). Make sure that the
arbor nut (3) is tight, and that at least one thread of
the arbor sticks out past the nut.
5. Do not exceed 6 inches (5.4 mm) diameter dadoes
and keep the width / in. (.7 mm) or less. It will
be necessary to remove the blade guard and riving
knife when using a dado blade. Always use caution
when operating a dado blade.
