ROUGH CUTTING A DADO (FIG. CC)
DO NOT USE A DADO BLADE, use
only the standard saw blade for this
operation.

and depth of the desired cut on
CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (FIG.
BB)
To avoid injury from materials being
thrown, always unplug the saw
to avoid accidental starting and
remove small pieces of material
from the table cavity.
The table insert may be removed for
this purpose, but always reattach table
insert prior to performing a cutting
operation.
A bowed workpiece must be positioned
against the fence and secured with
a clamping device as shown before
cutting. Do not position workpiece
incorrectly or try to cut the workpiece
without the support of the fence. This
will cause the blade to bind and could
result in personal injury.
