Using Stacked Dado Sets - Bosch GTS1041A Instrucciones De Funcionamiento

3. Remove standard table insert plate. Raise saw
blade to maximum height.
4. Remove the arbor nut, then outer washer and
saw blade (see page 16, 17, 18).
5. Installing a dado stack (Fig. 66)
a. Place the desired parts of the dado set onto
the arbor shaft.
b. If the stack is less than or equal to 1/2" in
width, re-assemble the stock outer washer
and arbor nut normally, then tighten with the
blade wrench.
c. If the stack is greater than 1/2" in width,
Place the stock outer washer and the sup-
plied clamp assembly from the Dado Acces-
sory Kit (TS1006) onto the outside of the
dado stack. Thread the bolt from the clamp
assembly into the threaded hole in the ar-
bor, then tighten using the 10mm part of the
blade wrench.
6. Placing dado blades and chippers: (Fig. 66)
• For 1/4" wide cuts, place the two outside
dado blades (cutters) on the shaft. The two
dado outside blades may be different, check
for information on the blade and the manu-
facturer's instructions for proper installation.
• For wider cuts (up to 13/16" maximum),
chipper blades and spacers can be placed
only between the outside blades (cutters).
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 saw's arbor nut. Instead,
use clamp assembly included with accessory
TS1006. With this saw, do not exceed a stacked
width greater than 13/16" .
7. Lower the blades below the table top and in-
sert the Bosch Dado Table Insert (TS1006)
(Fig. 67). Raise the cutters to the desired depth
of cut (above the insert). Check that the tool
is not plugged into a power source; then care-
fully rotate the cutters by hand to make sure
all components are tightly held and no interfer-
ences exist. Double check the clearance to the
detection plate.
8. Plug saw into power source. Using scrap wood,
make practice dado cuts and adjust height ac-
cordingly.
To reduce the risk of injury,
never pass your hands over
the cutting dado blades. Dado cuts are non-
through (blind) cuts. Many times the cutters can-
not be seen during cutting. See page 36 for in-
structions on Non Through-cutting.

USING STACKED DADO SETS

To reduce the risk of injury,
never make freehand 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 cut-
ting (see page 36). Always use feather boards,
attached to the table or fence, when rip cutting
(See page 37). When cross cutting, firmly hold
work piece against the miter gauge (see page
34).
NOTE: Because dado cuts are non-through cuts,
the miter gauge can be used with the fence only
with use of a stop block (see page 33) 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 dis-
tance.
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, pe-
riodically check the work pieces to see that the
depth of cut is maintained.
RETURNING SAW TO NORMAL
THROUGH-CUTTING
After completing your dado or rabbet cutting, be
sure to return the outer washer and arbor nut to
the original positions (see page 17 for details). It
is important that the original equipment washers
are in the proper positions so that the saw blade
always aligns with the permanently installed riv-
ing knife and is the proper distance from the de-
tection plate.
