OPERATION MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT See Figure 53. Non-through cuts (made with a standard 10 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 cutter is covered by the workpiece during most of the cut. Be alert to the exposed cutter at the start and finish of every cut to avoid the risk of personal injury. BLADE GUARD REMOVED NON-THROUGH CUT PUSH STICK 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 and anti-kickback pawls.  Place riving knife in "down" position.  Unlock the bevel locking lever.  Adjust the bevel angle to 0°.  Turn the bevel adjusting handwheel until the bevel indica- tor is at the desired angle. Push the bevel locking lever securely to the left to lock the angle. Fig. 53  Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.  Plug the saw into the power source and turn on saw.  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 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. Once all non-through cuts are completed:  Unplug your saw.  Reinstall the riving knife in the "up" position then install blade guard and anti-kickback pawls. 36

Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
Plug the saw into the power source and turn on saw.
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 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.
Once all non-through cuts are completed:
Unplug your saw.
Reinstall the riving knife in the “up” position then install
blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.

OPERATION
MAKING A NON-THROUGH CUT
See Figure 53.
Non-through cuts (made with a standard 10 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 cutter is
covered by the workpiece during most of the cut.
Be alert to the exposed cutter at the start and
finish of every cut to avoid 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 and anti-kickback pawls.
Place riving knife in “down” position.
Unlock the bevel locking lever.
Adjust the bevel angle to 0°.
Turn the bevel adjusting handwheel until the bevel indica-
tor is at the desired angle. Push the bevel locking lever
securely to the left to lock the angle.
