A 1/4” groove is cut by using the two outside blades.The teeth of the blades should be positioned so that the rakeron one saw is beside the cutting teeth on the other saw.The dado head set is assembled to the sawarbor in the same manner as the saw blade.The guard splitter and anti-kickback fingerassembly can not be used when dadoingoperations and must be removed from the saw.The included dado head table insert must beused in place of the standard table insert.WARNING: Blades are dangerously sharp.
