To fasten from front of fence:
1. Attach the auxiliary fence using four (4)
3/16" x 1-1/2" long flat-head machine bolts.
Secure them behind the metal fence with
washers and #5 machine nuts.
WARNING
dry run with the saw Off by conducting a
simulated cutting cycle and observe the
projected path of the saw blade. Keep
hands at least six (6) inches away from
the projected path of the saw blade.
2. Make a full-depth cut to create the blade
slot.

ROUGH CUTTING A DADO
Using a wood chisel and the depth guide, it
is possible to make a rough dado cut. The
marks on the depth guide are to be used for
reference only. Always make a practice cut
on scrap wood.
To use the depth guide:
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Rotate the depth-of-cut stop outward.
With the depth-of-cut bolt touching the depth
stop, turn the depth-of-cut bolt until the
desired depth of cut is attained. Tighten the
depth-of-cut wingnut to secure the depth-of-
cut bolt. See Setting Blade Depth for Non-
Through Cuts for Cutting Grooves.
3. A wooden spacer must be placed between
t h e w o r k p i e c e a n d t h e f e n c e f o r a
consistent length of cut in the workpiece.
Use the work clamp to clamp the spacer
and another suitable clamp to clamp
the workpiece. Make the slide cut at the
desired depth.
4. Rotate the depth of cut stop inward for
normal through cuts.
NOTICE: The depth-of-cut stop must be
rotated before locking or unlocking the saw
arm.
To make the cut:
1. Unlock the slide-lock knob.

To fasten from back of the fence:
Use minimum 3/4" thick auxiliary fence and
1/4" round-head wood screws (1/2" long).
1. Drill four pilot holes through the auxiliary
fence and run the screws from the rear of
the metal fence.
WARNING
dry run with the saw OFF by conducting a
simulated cutting cycle and observe the
projected path of the saw blade. Keep
hands at least six (6) inches away from
the projected path of the saw blade.
2. Make a full-depth cut to create the blade
slot.
2. Raise the saw arm to its full height.
3. With the saw off, pull the saw arm forward.
Turn the saw ON, allow the blade to reach
maximum speed, push the blade down on
top of the workpiece, and then back toward
the rear of the saw to make a cut.
4. Cut two outside grooves in the workpiece.
5. Use a wood chisel to remove the material
between the two outside grooves.
Be aware of the path of
the saw blade. Make a
