When using the zero clearance insert for thru-cut
applications, you must cut out the splitter/blade guard
pocket to allow the assembly to attach to the table saw.
If you are using the insert for non-thru cuts likes dados
you do not have to perform this operation.

Use a scroll saw, band saw or hack saw to cut-out
the splitter/blade guard pocket (H). See Figure 1-2.
2.
A file or sand paper can be used to clean up rough
edges.
