USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING
Add a wood facing (A) Fig. 84 to one or both sides of the
rip fence when you perform special operations (moulding
cutterhead, etc.). Depending on the fence, attach the wood
facing or the fence either with wood screws through holes
drilled in the fence, or with two clamps. For most work, 3/4”
stock is suitable, although an occasional job may require 1”
facing.
Do not attempt to stack dado blades thicker than 13/16” (20mm) Do not use dado blades larger than 8”
(200mm) in diameter.
Attach the dado head set (D) Fig. 82 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.
Never use the dado head in a bevel position.
Always install the blade guard and standard table insert after the operation is complete.
