To cut a dado with a dado blade, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!
2. Adjust the dado blade to the desired depth of cut.
3. Adjust the distance between the fence and the
inside edge of the blade, as shown in Figure 51
on the previous page, to dado the length of a
workpiece.
— If dadoing across the workpiece, use the miter
gauge and carefully line up the desired cut
with the dado blade. DO NOT use the fence in
combination with the miter gauge, which could
result in the workpiece binding and kicking back.
4. Re-connect the saw to the power source.
5. Turn the saw ON. The blade should run smooth, with
no vibrations.
6. When the blade has reached full speed, perform a
test cut with a scrap piece of wood.
7. If the cut is satisfactory, repeat the cut with the
actual workpiece.
