USING WOOD FACING ON THE RIP FENCE (Fig. DD)
When performing some special cutting operations, add a
wood facing (1) to the side of the rip fence between the
fence and the blade where you will be cutting (2).
1 . Use a smooth & straight 3/4" thick wood board (1)
measure as long as the rip fence is.
2. Attach the wood facing to the fence with wood screw
(3) through the hole 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.

DADO CUTS (Fig. GG)
1. The dado blade insert is included with this saw.
Remove the saw blade, original table insert and blade
guard. Install the dado and dado blade insert.
2. Instruction for operating the dado is packed with the
separately purchased dado set.
3. The arbor (1) on this saw restricts the maximum width
of the cut to 13/16".
4. When making full 13/16" 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 8" diameter dadoes and keep the width
13/16" or less. It will be necessary to remove the blade
guard and splitter when using a dado blade. Always
use caution when operating a dado blade.
6. Use only the correct number of round outside blades
and inside chippers as shown in the dado set's
instruction manual. Blade or chipper must not exceed
13/16".
7. Check saw to ensure that the dado will not strike the
housing, insert, or motor when in operation.
For your own safety, always replace the blade, blade
guard assembly, and blade insert when you are finished
with the dado operation.
