IMPORTANT: For certain cutting operations such as

dadoing and moulding where you are not cutting

completely through the workpiece, the blade guard and

splitter assembly cannot be used. Simply loosen screws

(G) and (H) Fig. 139. Lift up and swing blade guard and

splitter assembly (W) Fig. 140, to the rear of the saw as

shown in Fig. 140. CAUTION: Always return and fasten

the blade guard and splitter assembly to its proper

operating position for normal thru-sawing operations.

The moulding cutterhead (A) Fig. 141, is assembled to the

saw arbor as shown. Also, the accessory moulding

cutterhead table insert (B), must be used in place of the

standard table insert.

It is necessary when using the moulding cutterhead to

add wood-facing (C) to the face of the rip fence, as

shown in Fig. 142. The wood-facing is attached to the

fence with two clamps, as shown. 3/4 inch stock is

suitable for most work although an occasional job may

require 1 inch facing.

Position the wood-facing over the cutterhead with the

cutterhead below the surface of the table. Turn the saw

on and raise the cutterhead. The cutterhead will cut its

own groove in the wood-facing. Fig. 142, shows a typical

moulding operation. NEVER USE MOULDING CUTTER-

HEAD IN A BEVEL POSITION.

IMPORTANT: NEVER RUN THE STOCK BETWEEN THE

FENCE AND THE MOULDING CUTTERHEAD AS IRRE-

GULAR SHAPED WOOD WILL CAUSE KICKBACK.

When moulding end grain, the miter gage is used. The

feed should be slowed up at the end of the cut to prevent

splintering.

In all cuts, attention should be given the grain, making the

cut in the same direction as the grain whenever possible.

ALWAYS INSTALL BLADE GUARD AFTER

OPERATION IS COMPETE.

USING ACCESSORY

DADO HEAD

IMPORTANT: THE BLADE GUARD AND SPLITTER

ASSEMBLY CANNOT BE USED WHEN DADOING OR

MOULDING AND MUST BE REMOVED OR SWUNG

TO THE REAR OF THE SAW.

Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the work.

Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws

and four or five inside cutters, as shown in Fig. 143.

Various combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut

grooves from 1/8" to 13/16" for use in shelving, making

joints, tenoning, grooving, etc. The cutters are heavily

swaged and must be arranged so that this heavy portion

falls in the gullets of the outside saws, as shown in Fig.

144. The saw and cutter overlap is shown in Fig. 145, (A)

being the outside saw, (B) an inside cutter, and (C) a

paper washer or washers which can be used as needed

to control the exact width of groove. A 1/4" groove is cut

by using the two outside saws. The teeth of the saws

should be positioned so that the raker on one saw is

beside the cutting teeth on the other saw.
