MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT
See Figure 49.
WARNING:
DO NOT install dado blades on this machine. The arbor
shaft has insufficient threads to mount a dado blade.
Mounting a dado blade could result in the risk of serious
personal injury.
Non-through cuts (made with a standard 8-1/4 in. blade) can
be made with the grain (ripping) or across the grain (cross
cut). The use of a non-through cut is essential to cutting
grooves, rabbets, and dadoes. This is the only type cut
that is made without the blade guard assembly installed.
Make sure the blade guard assembly is reinstalled upon
completion of this type of cut. Read the appropriate section
which describes the type of cut in addition to this section on
non-through or dado cuts. For example, if your non-through
cut is a straight cross cut, read and understand the section
on straight cross cuts before proceeding.
WARNING:
When making a non-through cut, the blade is covered
by the workpiece during most of the cut. Be alert to
the exposed blade at the start and finish of every cut to
reduce the risk of personal injury.
WARNING:
Never feed wood with your hands when making any
non-through cut such as rabbets or dadoes. To avoid
personal injury, always use push blocks, push sticks,
and featherboards.
Unplug the saw.
Remove the blade guard.
Place riving knife in "down" position.
Unlock the bevel locking lever.
Adjust the bevel angle to 0°.
Lock the bevel locking lever.
OPERATION
Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
Depending on the shape and size of the wood, use either
the rip fence or miter gauge.
Plug the saw into the power source and turn the saw on.
Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the
workpiece into the blade.
Always use push blocks, push sticks, and/or feather-
boards appropriately when making non-through cuts to
reduce the risk of serious injury.
When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
NOTE: A non-through rip cut is shown in the illustration
above. To make a non-through cross cut, remove the blade
guard and anti-kickback pawls. Place the riving knife in the
"down" position and perform the cross cut, see Making a
Cross Cut earlier in this section.
Once all non-through cuts are completed:
Unplug the saw.
Place riving knife in "up" position.
Reinstall blade guard.
