6. Placing dado blades and chippers: (see Fig. 62)
●
For 1/4" wide cuts, place the two out-
side dado blades (cutters) on the
shaft. The two dado outside blades
may be different, check for informa-
tion on the blade and the manufac-
turer's
installation.
●
For wider cuts (up to 13/16" maxi-
mum), chipper blades and spacers
can be placed only between the out-
side blades (cutters).
dado blade for normal saw thru-cutting.
Never use chippers without both outside
cutters. Read and follow all Operation/
Safety Instructions included with the dado
set.
NOTE: The arbor nut must be fully engaged
on shaft threads. If the stacked width is more
than 1/2", do not use the table saws' inner
washer. Instead, use the accessory dado
washer (included with Bosch Dado Table In-
sert TS1007). With this saw, do not exceed a
stacked width greater than 13/16".
7.
Lower the blades below the table top
and insert the Bosch Dado Table Insert
TS1007 (Fig. 64). Raise the cutters to
the desired depth of cut (above the in-
sert). Check that the tool is not plugged
into a power source; then carefully ro-
tate the cutters by hand to make sure all
components are tightly held and no in-
terferences exist.

cuts are non-thru (blind) cuts. Many times the
cutters cannot be seen during cutting. See

hand cuts. The work piece must be held
against the saw's fence or miter gauge as it is
being fed. Whenever possible, use push
sticks and push blocks for cutting (see page
30). Always use feather boards, attached to
the table or fence, when rip cutting (see page
38). When cross cutting, firmly hold work

piece against the miter gauge (see page 35).
NOTE: Because dado cuts are non-thru cuts,
the miter gauge can be used with the fence
locked in place. This is helpful when making
repeat dado cross-cuts from the ends of more
than one work piece. Each piece is held
against the miter gauge and its end slides
along the fence at a preset distance.
Depending on the final depth of cut and/or
the density of the material, it may be required
to make multiple cuts starting with small
depths of 1/4" to 1/2" and progressing to
final depth. When performing extensive
repetitive dado cutting, periodically check the
work pieces to see that the depth of cut is
maintained.
