Making a Dado Cut
Blades are sharp. Wear work gloves
WARNING
when handling blades.
Always remove riving knife before
making a dado cut.
An optional dado throat plate is re-
quired for this procedure (For a com-
plete listing of accessories, go online to
www.milwaukeetool.com or contact a
distributor). All blades and dado sets must
not be rated less than the speed of this
tool. This saw is designed for use with a 6" stack
dado (up to width of 3/4"). Do not use an adjustable
dado or molding cutters on this saw.
When making a non-through cut,
WARNING
the blade is covered by the work-
piece during most of the cut. Be alert to the ex-
posed blade at the start and finish of every cut
to reduce the risk of personal injury.
To avoid personal injury, always use push blocks,
push sticks, and featherboards.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Remove the riving knife with blade guard and
anti-kickback pawls.
3. Remove the standard blade and install the dado
blade, according to manufacturer instructions,
using the blade and chippers appropriate for the
desired width of cut. NOTE: Always store the throat
plate, blade, flange, and bolt in a secure location.
4. Install the dado throat plate and rotate the blade
by hand to make sure it turns freely then lower
the blade.
5. Depending on the shape and size of the work-
piece, use the rip fence or miter gauge.
6. Install a feather board in the appropriate position
for the cut being made.
7. Insert the battery pack.
8. Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before
turning on the saw.
9. Turn ON the saw. Allow the saw to come to full
speed.
10. Use a push stick and/or push blocks to move the
piece into the cut.
11. Turn OFF the saw. Wait for the blade to come to
a complete stop before removing the workpiece.
12. Once all non-through cuts are complete, remove
the battery pack and reinstall the standard blade,
throat plate, riving knife with guard and anti-
kickback pawls.
