USING STACKED DADO SETS (FIG. 40a–40c)
NOTE: These instructions apply to most
standard stacked dado sets.
a. Disconnect the battery pack.
b. Remove the smart guard system.
c. Remove the table insert plate. Raise the saw
blade to the maximum height.
d. Remove the arbor nut, then the outer washer,
and saw blade.
NOTE: For only dado cutting, leave the inner
blade washer in place. The outer washer will
be replaced with the combination nut/washer
included with the dado insert.
e. Installing a dado stack (Fig. 40a, 40b):
Place the desired parts of the dado set onto
•
the arbor shaft.
Place the supplied combination nut/washer
•
from the Dado Accessory Kit onto the
outside of the dado stack and tighten.
f. Placing dado blades and chippers (Fig. 40a):
For 1/4" wide cuts, place the two outer
•
dado blades (cutters) on the shaft. The
two dado outer blades may be different,
check for information on the blade and
the manufacturer's instructions for proper
installation.
For wider cuts (up to 1/2" or 13/16"
•
maximum), chipper blades and spacers can
be placed only between the outer blades
(cutters)
WARNING
blade for normal through sawing. Never use
chippers without both outer cutters.
NOTE: With this saw, do not exceed a stacked
width greater than 13/16".
g. Lower the dado set below the table top and
insert the dado table insert (Fig. 40c). Adjust
the dado insert so that it is flush with the
saw table surface. Raise the cutters to the
desired depth of cut (above the insert). Make
sure that the battery pack is removed, then
carefully rotate the cutters by hand to make
sure that all components are tightly held and
no interferences exist.
h. Connect the battery pack. Using scrap wood,
make practice dado cuts and adjust the
height accordingly.
To reduce the risk of injury,
never use a single dado
