Makita 2704 Manual De Instrucciones página 15

When installing two outside cutters without any inside
cutter, be sure that the cutter tips do not face each other.
6. While tightening the hex nut, be careful to maintain
the even spacing between the tips of the inside cut-
ters.
7. Rotate the dado head one turn by hand to make
sure that it does not contact anything before opera-
tion.
When dadoing, use featherboards. The diagram shown
illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard.
It should be made from a straight piece of wood that is
free of knots or cracks.

(24")

(4-1/2")
(3/4")

Featherboards are used to keep the workpiece in contact
with the rip fence and table as shown, and to stop kick-
backs.

To install featherboards, proceed as follows:
8. Turn the tool off and unplug it.
9. Add 8" high flat facing board to the rip fence, the full
length of the rip fence.
10. Mount featherboards to the rip fence and table as
shown, so that the leading edges of the feather-
boards will support the workpiece until the cut is
completed, and the workpiece has been pushed
completely past the cutter with a push stick.
11. Make sure featherboards are securely attached.

CAUTION:
• Only the Makita dado head set (Part No. 191794-9)
should be used with Makita table saw Model 2704.
Do not use dado combinations wider than 21 mm
(13/16").
• After dadoing, ALWAYS replace the blade guard
with the spreader back in its original position on the
table saw.
• NEVER attempt bevel cuts when dadoing.
• NEVER dado if there is vibration (flutter) or a
strange noise.
• NEVER attempt dados in other than wood.
• Do not use the dado set for cut-offs.
• Feed work slowly, especially when cutting deep or
wide grooves or dados. If a deep cut is needed,
make several passes through the workpiece rather
than one deep, wide cut. Fast or abrupt feeds can
be dangerous.
• Use a push stick. When the dado head is hidden
from view while cutting, your hands should never
be on top of the stock.
• A very dangerous throwback can result if the wood
becomes stuck and you try to remove it by pulling
toward you. Always stop the tool and wait for dado
head to come to a complete stop. Then simply with-
draw the wood.
WARNING:
• Use extra caution when the guard assembly is
removed for any non-through sawing operation
such as dadoing, rabbeting or re-sawing. Replace
guard immediately after non-through sawing is
completed.
