MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT
See Figure 47.
Non-through cuts (made with a standard 10 in. blade) can be
made with the grain (ripping) or across the grain (cross cut).
The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting grooves,
rabbets, and dadoes. This is the only type cut that is made
without the blade guard assembly installed. Make sure the
blade guard assembly is reinstalled upon completion of this
type of cut. Read the appropriate section which describes
the type of cut in addition to this section on non-through or
dado cuts. For example, if your non-through cut is a straight
cross cut, read and understand the section on straight cross
cuts before proceeding.
WARNING:
When making a non-through cut, the blade is covered
by the workpiece during most of the cut. Be alert to
the exposed blade at the start and finish of every cut to
reduce the risk of personal injury.
WARNING:
Never feed wood with your hands when making any
non-through cut such as rabbets or dadoes. To avoid
personal injury, always use push blocks, push sticks,
and featherboards.
 Unplug the saw.
 Remove the blade guard.
 Place riving knife in "down" position.
 Unlock the bevel locking lever.
 Adjust the bevel angle to 0°.
 Lock the bevel locking lever.
OPERATION

REMOVED
 Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
 Depending on the shape and size of the wood, use either
the rip fence or miter gauge.
 Plug the saw into the power source and turn the saw on.
 Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the
workpiece into the blade.
 Always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or feather-
boards appropriately when making non-through cuts to
reduce the risk of serious injury.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
Once all non-through cuts are completed:
 Unplug the saw.
 Reinstall the riving knife in the "up" position then install
the blade guard.
