1. Depthof Cut(Elevation)
a The diagram shows the elevation crank which
is used to raise and lower' the saw blade..
boCiockwise rotation raises the blade _ .
counterclockwise rotation lowers iL One
complete turn of the handle will raise or lower
the saw blade 1/16 inch.
c_ Handle can be folded in when not in use.
2. Angle of Cut (Miter)
Proper Indexing Method - Experienced operators of
woodworking equipment such as this Craftsman
Radial Saw, acquire the habit of indexing in one
direction only, whenever a new setting is made in
preparation for a different operation
Example: When moving the arm to a miter index
position move it slightly past the desired index
position, then return to the index position carefully
to index and lock Yoke indexing and bevel indexing
can be accomplished in a similar' manner This
indexing technique tends to neutralize any stresses
impaired upon saw components and contributes to
the high degree of accuracy the saw is capable of
producing when operated expertly..
The miter lock handle locks, unlocks and
indexes the arm for left and right miter cuts.
NOTE: For safety reasons stops have been provided
to prevent 360 ° rotation of the radial arm
b..The radial arm has positive index positions at
0° and 45 ° left arid right._The arm is rotated by
pulling the miter lock handle from left to right
arid releasing the index pin Move the arm to
the desired miter angle and push the miter
lock handle back to the lock position.
3. Yoke Swivel (Ripping)
a Swivel lock handle is to lock, unlock and index
the yoke swivel adjustmenL
b, The yoke swivel index pin automatically
indexes the yoke at 90 ° position Pull the
swivel lock handle forward to unlock the yoke,
continue to pull this handle until the index pin
is released.
C_
The swivel lock handle locks the yoke to the
carriage in any position. Pull the handle for-
ward to release the yoke; push the handle
rearward to secure the yoke.
4. Rip Position Lock
a The rip lock handle is pushed rearward to lock
the carriage on the radial arm and pulled
forward to release it
b When performing crosscutting operations, the
rip lock handle must be released so the carriage
is free to travel along the arm The lock handle
should be tightened until the operator' is ready
to grasp the yoke handle and make a cut
