USINg AN ACCESSORY dAdO HEAd
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off
and disconnect it from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or when
making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
do not attempt to stack dado blades
thicker than 13/16" (20 mm) do not use dado blades
larger than 8" (200 mm) in diameter.
The splitter and blade guard assemblies
cannot be used when dadoing or molding. It must be
removed as described in Blade guard and Splitter Use
section. Use EXTREME care when using the dado
without the blade guard assembly and splitter.
Use pushsticks, hold-downs, jigs,
fixtures or featherboards to help guide and control the
workpiece when the guard cannot be used.
The accessory dado head set throat plate
(E) Fig. 64 must be used in place of the standard throat
plate. Be sure the throat plate is level to the table before
you proceed.
Always check dado blade clearance before
plugging in the saw.
To reduce the risk of injury, be sure to
place the blade guard assembly and standard throat
plate back in position and check adjustments when
the dado cuts are complete. Reinstall blade guard
assembly, anti-kickback assembly and splitter.
Never use the dado head in a bevel position.
Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the workpiece. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws and
four or five inside cutters, (Fig. 61). Various combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut grooves from 1/8" (3.18 mm)
to 13/16" (20.64 mm) for use in shelving, making joints, tenoning, grooving, etc. The cutters are heavily swaged and must be
arranged so that the teeth do not hit each other during rotation. The heavy portion of the cutters should fall in the gullets of
the outside saws (Fig. 62). The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig. 63 - (A) being the outside saw, (B) an inside cutter, and
or washers, used as needed to control the exact width of groove. A 1/4" (6,35 mm) groove is cut by
(C) a paper washer
using the two outside saws. Position the teeth of the saws so that the raker on one saw is beside the cutting teeth on
the other saw.
Attach the dado head set (D) Fig. 64 to the saw arbor.
NOTE: If the arbor nut does not fully engage the thread on the arbor, remove the outside arbor flange and tighten the
arbor nut against the dado head set body. Do not lose the outside arbor flange. It will be needed when reattaching a
blade to the arbor.
NOTE: Fig. 65 illustrates a typical dado operation.
To reduce the risk of injury, always return and fasten the splitter and blade guard assemblies to the
proper operating position for normal through sawing operations. Also, be sure the standard throat plate is back in
position.
