OPERATION
7. Allow the blade to reach full speed
before moving the workpiece into the
blade.
8. After the cut is made, turn the saw off.
Wait for the blade to come to a
complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
Always use a push
block or push sticks, and featherboards
when making non-through cuts to avoid
the risk of injury.
When making a
non-through cut, the cutter is covered by
the workpiece during most of the cut. Be
alert to the exposed cutter at the start
and nish of every cut to avoid the risk of
personal injury.
DADO CUTTING (FIG. 47)
The dado throat plate included is required for
this procedure. Blades and dado sets must
not be rated lower than the speed of this
tool. This saw is designed for use with an 8”
(20.32 cm) stack dado up to 3/4” (19 mm)
wide. Do not use an adjustable dado with
this saw.
Unplug the saw to
prevent accidental starting that could
result in possible injury.
