additional safety instructions for radial saws

CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cord before

removing the guard, changing the cutting tool, changing the

set-up or making adjustments. Shut off motor before

performing layout work on the saw table.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT POWER CORD UNTIL

THE FOLLOWING STEPS HAVE BEEN

SATISFACTORI LY COMPLETED:

I. Assembly and alignment.

II. Examination and operating familiarity with ON-OFF

switch, elevation control, yoke index and lock bevel

index and lock, carriage lock, guard clamp screw,

spreader and antikickback device, and miter index and

lock.

III. Review and understanding of all Safety Instructions and

Operating Procedures thru-out manual,

INSTALLATION

I. Set carriage lock before moving the saw.

2. Bolt the saw to the floor if it tends to slip, walk, or

slide during normal operation.

3. Mount the saw so the table is approximately 39" above

the floor.

4. Mount the saw so the arm slopes slightly downward to

the rear so the carriage will not roll forward due to

gravity.

MINIMIZE ACCIDENT POTENTIAL

Most accidents are caused by FAILURE TO FOLLOW

setup and operating instructions:

(A) GENERAL

-Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip

could cause a hand to move into a sawblade or other

cutting tool. Never reach in back of or around the

cutting tool with either hand to hold down the

workpiece, or for any other reason; DO NOT place

fingers or hands in the path of the sawblade.

Never saw, dado, mold, or rabbet unless the proper

guard is installed and set up as instructed.

[ THIS END

If any part of this radial saw is missing or should

break, bend or fail in any way, or any electrical

component fail to perform properly, shut off power

switch, remove cord from power supply and replace

damaged, missing and/or failed parts before resuming

operation.

- IF YOUR SAW MAKES AN UNFAMILIAR NOISE

OR IF IT VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY CEASE

OPERATING IMMEDIATELY UNTIL THE

SOURCE HAS BEEN LOCATED AND THE

PROBLEM CORRECTED.

-WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY

(GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR

SAW) TO BECOME COMMONPLACE. ALWAYS

REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF

A SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO INFLICT SEVERE

INJURY.

Before starting work, verify that no play exists

between the column & column support, or in the

carriage, and that arm, yoke, and bevel locks!clamps

are tight.

--A large proportion of saw accidents is caused by use

of the wrong type blade, dull, badly set, improperly

sharpened cutting tools, by gum or resin adhering to

cutting tools, and by sawblade misalignment

out-of-parallel with the fence. Such conditions can

cause the material to stick, jam {stall the saw) or

"KICKBACK" at the operator. NEVER ATTEMPT

TO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE WITHOUT

FIRST TURNING THE SAW "OFF". If the

sawblade is stalled or jammed, shut saw "OFF",

remove workpiece, and check sawblade squareness to

table surface and to the fence, and check for heel.

Adjust as indicated.

-CAUTION: DO NOT cycle the motor switch "'ON'"

and "OFF" rapidly, as this might cause the sawblade

to loosen. In the event this should ever occur, allow

the saw blade to come to a complete stop and

re-tighten the arbor nut normally, not excessively.

- Do not leave a long board unsupported so the spring

of the board causes it to shift on the table. Provide

proper support for the workpiece, based on its size

and the type of operation to be performed. Hold the

work firmly against the fence.

- Never use a length stop on the free end or edge of the

workpiece whether crosscutting or ripping. Never

hang onto or touch the free end of workpiece when

crosscutting, or a free piece that is cut off while

power is "ON" and/or the saw blade is rotating. In

short, the cut-off piece in any "thru-sawing"

operation must never be confined - it must be

allowed to move laterally.

- Make sure your fingers do not contact the terminals

when installing or removing the plug to or from a live

power source.

Never climb on the saw, or climb near the saw when

power is "'ON". Never leave the saw with power

"ON", or before the cutting toot has come to a

complete stop. Lock the motor switch and put away

the key when leaving the saw.

-Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked

for an operating speed lower than 3450 RPM. Never

use a cutting tool larger in diameter than the diameter

for which the saw was designed. For greatest safety

and efficiency when ripping, use the maximum

diameter blade for which the saw is designed, since

under these conditions the spreader is nearest the

blade.

- Never turn your saw "ON" before clearing the table

or work surface of all objects (tools, scraps of wood,

etc.) except the workpiece and related feed or

support devices for the operation planned.

- DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work on

the table while the cutting tool is rotating.

- Never perform any operation "FREE HAND". This

term means feeding the sawblade into the workpiece

or feeding the workpiece into the sawblade or other

cutting tool without using the fence or some other

device which prevents rotation or twisting of the

workpiece during the operation. Never "'RIP" in the

crosscut position. Never make a miter cut with the

arm in the 90 ° crosscut position.

Never lower a revolving cutting tool into the table or

a workpiece without first locking the Carriage Lock

Knob. Release the knob only after grasping the Yoke

Handle. Otherwise the cutting tool may grab the

workpiece and be propelled toward you.

-The sawblade, dado, or other cutting tool must be

additional safety

instructions for radial saws

Therefore, rip with the finished side down (next to

the table) and be especially attentive to following

proper set-up and cutting procedures. Do not stand,

or permit anyone else to stand, in line with a

potential kickback.

13. When sawing I/4" or thinner materials, follow all

normal ripping procedures except set sawblade into

table top at least 1/8". DO NOT let go of or stop

feeding the workpiece between the blade and fence

until you have pushed it completely past the

antikickback pawls. Otherwise the workpiece could

get into the back of the sawblade and be thrown

violently from the saw in the direction opposite to

the feed direction. This is the same action that

would occur if the instructions of the DANGER

warning on the guard is aborted. Do not stand, or

permit anyone else to stand, in line with the path of

a workpiece that may be thrown from the saw in

this manner.

14. Position the saw so neither you, a helper, or a casual

observer is forced to stand in line with the

sawblade.

15. Use extra care when ripping wood that has a twisted

grain or is twisted or bowed - it may rock on the

table and/or pinch the sawblade.

16. Shaping of wood with a dado head or a molding

head can be performed "top-side" (cutting tool

basically vertical and employing sawblade guard), or

"edge" (saw arbor vertical - cutting tool horizontal

- and employing the Accessory molding head

guard).

removed from the saw arbor before using the

accessory shaft (rear end of the saw motor). NEVER

operate the saw with cutting tools (including sanding

accessories) installed on both ends of the saw arbor.

(B) RIPPING

Ripping is cutting with the grain or the long way of the

board - it is performed by pushing the workpiece

along the fence and thru the sawblade (sawblade

parallel to the fence).

1. Never apply the feed force to the section of the

workpiece that will become the cut-off (free) piece.

Feed force when ripping must always be applied

between the saw blade and the fence . . . use a

"PUSH STICK" (see pg. 26) for narrow or short

work.

2. Whenever possible, use the in-rip position - this

provides minimum obstruction f_r feeding by hand

or push stick as appropriate.

3. Do not release the workpiece before operation is

complete - push the workpiece all the way past the

rear (outfeed or exit) of the sawblade.

4. Make sure by trial before starting the cut that the

antikickback pawls will stop a kickback once it has

started. Keep points of pawls SHARP!

5. Use a push stick when ripping short (under 12

inches) or narrow (under 6 inches wide) workpieces.

6. CAUTION: Never reposition the Guard or

antikickback with power "ON".

7. A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type operation

when a part or all of the workpiece is thrown back

violently toward the operator. It can occur when

the workpiece closes in on the rear (outfeed side) of

the sawblade (pinching), binds between the fence

and the sawblade (heel), or is grabbed by the

sawblade teeth (wrong-way feed) at the outfeed

side. "PINCHING" is generally avoided by

utilization of the spreader, and a sharp sawblade of

the correct type for the workpiece being cut.

"HEEL" can be avoided by maintaining the

sawblade exactly parallel to the fence. Grabbing by

the sawblade teeth can be caused by heel or by

feeding from the wrong direction (see "DANGER"

warning on guard) - it can be avoided by

maintaining parallelism of sawblade to fence,

feeding into the sawblade from the nose of the

guard only, by positioning the spreader and

antikickback properly, and keeping the workpiece

down on the table and against the fence.

8. Position the nose of the guard to just clear the

workpiece, and position/adjust the antikickback

and spreader devices as instructed.

9. NEVER cut more than one piece at a time by

stacking workpieces vertically.

10. NEVER feed a workpiece thru the saw with another

p}ece {butt{rig second piece against trailing edge of

piece being cut), even if of the same thickness. Feed

each workpiece individually thru the sawblade, and

completely beyond the sawblade, before ripping the

next workpiece. Use push stick if the rip cut is less

than 6" wide.

1 1. DO NO _- pull the workpiece thru the sawblade

- position your body at the nose (in-feed) side of the

guard: start and complete the cut from that same

side. This will require added table support for long

pieces.

12. Plastic and composition (like hardboard)materials

may be cut on your saw. However, since these are

usually quite hard and slippery, the antikickback

pawls may not stop a kickback.

Ploughing

(Grooving with the grain)

Top side rabbeting

Top side molding

(shaping) ...

17.

18.

resawing, gaining, coving, with the grain, are

examples of rip-type cuts. The same basic setup

procedures including rotation of the guard and

adjusting and positioning of the AKB/Spreader

device as for in-rip or out-rip cutting, apply.

However, since none of these operations involve

thru-sawing (sawing through the workpiece), there

is no kerf. Therefore the spreader and AKB pawls

can only be lowered to a position where the

spreader just clears the workpiece.

CAUTION: The AKB/Spreader device will not

stop a kickback in this position, but will act as a

holddown and as a guard of the out-feed side of

the sawblade.

For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a

workpiece to which a push stick or push board is

applied must be square (perpendicular to the

fence) in order that feed pressure applied to the

workpiece by the push stick or block does not

cause the workpiece to come away from the fence,

and possibly cause a kickback.

During rip and rip type cuts, the workpiece must

be held clown on the table and against the fence

with a push stick, push block, or featherboards. A

featherboard is made of solid lumber per sketch.

2 Never operate this saw when equipped with a dado

head or molding head unless the molding head

guard is installed - see listing of recommended

accessories. The only exception is when "top-side"

dadoing or molding, when the sawblade guard must

be used. See detailed instructions that accompany

the dado head, molding head, and molding head

guard.

The use of grinding wheels, abrasive or cut-off

wheels, or wire wheels, can be dangerous and is not

recommended. (Abrasive or cut-off wheels are used

to saw many different materials including metals,

stone, and glass.)

Drill Chuck: Do not install or use any twist drill

larger than 1/2-inch in dia., or longer than 7 inches

in length or extending more than 6 inches beyond

the chuck jaws. Do not install or use any reduced

shank drill except of the spade type (1 inch dia. or

smaller). "Use for drilling WOOD and PLASTIC

only."

GROUNDING PRONG

This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord

and grounding type plug which has a grounding prong,

Listed by Underwriters' Laboratories. The ground

conductor has a green jacket and is attached to the tool

housing at one end and to the ground prong in the

attachment plug at the other end.

This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type

outlet as shown.

If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool

is of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR

ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY

MANNER. Use an adapter as shown and always connect

the grounding lug to known ground.

It it recommended that you have a qualified electrician

replace the TWO prong outlet with a properly grounded

THREE prong outlet.

electrical connections

An adapter as shown below is available for connecting

plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lug

extending from the adapter must be connected to a

permanent ground such as to a properly grounded

outlet box.

NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you

already have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

NOTE: This motor should be blown out, or "vacuumed",

frequently to prevent sawdust interference with normal

motor ventilation.

This tool should be connected to a 120 volt, 15 amp

branch circuit with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit

breaker. Failure to use the proper size fuse can result in

damage to the motor.

If the motor fails to start, turn the power switch to the

off position immediately. UNPLUG THE TOOL. Check

the saw blade to insure that it turns freely and that its

teeth are not wedged into the table top. After the blade

has been freed, try to start the motor again. If, at this

point, the motor still fails to start, refer to the "Motor

Trouble-Shooting Chart."

If the motor should suddenly stall while cutting wood,

the power switch should be turned off, the tool

unpluged and the blade freed from the wood. The

motor may now be restarted and the cut finished.

Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result

if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused

differently from recommendations. Overloading can

occur if you feed to rapidly or if your saw is misaligned

so that the blade heels. Do not use a fuse of greater

capacity without consulting a qualified electrician.

Although the motor is designed for operation on the

voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,

normal loads will be handled safely/ on voltages not

more than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage.

Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor

terminals equals the voltage specified on nameplate.

Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or

incorrect connections, overloading, reduced input

voltage (such as small size wires in the supply circuit) or

to an overly-long supply circuit. Always check the

connections, the load and the supply circuit, whenever

the motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire

sizes and lengths with the table following.

WIRE SIZES

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of

power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent

over-heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to

determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.

Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3 prong

grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept

the tools plug.

NOTE: For circuits of greater length, the wire size must be

increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage

to the saw motor.

The versatility of the Radial Saw is due, in part, to its

controls, and these are the keys to its successful operation.

Learn to use the controls for all operations before actually

starting to saw.

A series of six diagrams is located on the top surface of the

arm. These designate the controls that must be used in basic

set-ups and operating procedures. You should become

familiar with these diagrams and the operating instructions

that follow, before operating your saw.

Depth of Cut (Elevation)

a. The diagram shows the elevation crank which is

used to raise and lower the saw blade.

b. Clockwise rotation raises the blade

counterclockwise rotation lowers it. One complete

turn of the handle will raise or lower the saw blade

1/16-inch.

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.

a. The arm control lever locks, unlocks and indexes

the arm for Left and Right Miter cuts.

b. The radial arm has positive index positions at 0°

and 45 ° Left and Right. The arm is rotated by

pulling arm control lever to index release position.

With arm control lever released the arm will

automatically index at 0 ° and 45 ° Left or Right.

After positioning arm to the desired miter angle,

push arm control lever to locked position.

UNLOCK INDEX RELEASE

Yoke Pivot (Ripping)

a. Two controls are used in this operation. They are:

the swivel latch-pin lever and the yoke clamp

handle.

b. A swivel latch lever automatically indexes the yoke

at each 90 ° position. Pull the spring-loaded swivel

latch-lever forward to release this pin.

c. The yoke clamp handle locks the yoke to the

carriage in any position. Pull the handle forward to

release the yoke; push the handle rearward to secure

the yoke.

Carriage Lock

a. The carriage lock knob is rotated clockwise to lock

the carriage on the radial arm, and counterclockwise

to release it.

b. When performing crosscutting operations the

carriage lock knob must be rotated

counterclockwise until the carriage is free to travel

along the arm. This knob should be tightened until

the operator is ready to grasp the bevel index

handle and make a cut.

5. Blade Angle (Bevel)

a. The two controls used in angular positioning and

indexing of the motor, to provide the desired

saw-blade (bevel) angle, are: bevel lock lever and

bevel-index lever.

b. The bevel-index scale indicates the angular position

of the motor with respect to horizontal, from 0 ° to

90 ° in either vertical position.

c. The bevel index lever automatically indexes the

motor at 0 °, 45 ° and 90 ° . Move bevel index lever

to the left while positioning the blade, then release

it. At any other position it does not engage.

d. The bevel lock lever locks the motor to the yoke

when the motor is in any position. Pull lever to

release and push to lock.

Power Switch and Key

a. Insert key into switch lock.

b. Insert finger under end of switch lever and pull end

out, to turn switch on.

The Manual Motor Brake.

a. The manual brake is located on the motor shaft at

the right-hand end of motor.

b. Pressing on the brake button with finger or thumb,

after turning off the ON-OFF switch, will greatly

reduce blade coasting time.

8. Accessory Shaft.

NOTE: When using an accessory such as a drill chuck

attached to end of motor shaft, it will be necessary to

remove the accessory shaft cover.

CAUTION: Motor spacer, both blade collars and shaft nut

must be installed when using accessory shaft.

Be sure to re-install the accessory shaft cover

after removing the accessory.

Use only the following recommended accessories:

Drill chuck, Sanding drum, and Router adapter.

CAUTION: The sawblade, dado, or cutting tool must

be removed from the saw arbor before using the

accessory shaft. NEVER operate the saw with cutting

tools (including sanding accessories) installed on both

ends of the saw arbor.

SIDE

NOSE OF MINIMUM

GUARD GUARD CLEARANCE

1. The blade guard is positioned by loosening the guard

clamp screw and rotating the guard so that the nose just

clears the workpiece as shown.

This is necessary:

- to protect operator from accidentally contacting the

sawblade radially from the Infeed direction.

-to hold clown the workpiece against the table --

minimizing lifting or fluttering (particularly thin

and/or light workpieces);

-- to minimize sawdust thrown toward the operator.

-to minimize the possibility of a thin pusher board

riding up on top of the workpiece with loss of control

of workpiece.

The antikickback and spreader assembly is used during

ripping operations and is adjustable to accommodate

the thickness of the board being ripped. A wing screw

in the guard secures the assembly.

These adjustments are necessary:

Antikickback

- to stop a kickback if generated.

Spreader

-to prevent kerf from closing in on sawblade and

possible kickback;

-to prevent "wrong-way feed". "Wrong-way feed" is

feeding the workpiece - when sawblade is in a rip

position - into the outfeed side of the cutting tool

(sawblade, dado, molding head, etc.), the side

containing the antikickback/spreader. This can be

extremely hazardous because the sawblade may grab

the workpiece and throw it violently toward the nose

of the guard (infeed side of the tool). Danger label on

guard.

"Wrong-way feed" occurs when the teeth themselves

cut, or attempt to cut, a kerr in the workpiece. This

differs from a "'kickback" which is generated by the

sides (one or both) of the teeth, because of binding

between the fence (heel), pinching of the sides of the

sawblade (failure to use spreader), and/or inadequate

set of teeth of sawblade.

-to act as a partial guard regarding accidental contact

with the sawblade at the outfeed side when ripping,

and leading edge when crosscutting.

a. The blade guard is positioned by loosening the

guard clamp screw and rotating the guard so that

the "nose" just clears the workpiece as shown.

b.The antikickback and spreader assembly must be

adjusted to accommodate the thickness of the

board being ripped. A wing screw in the guard

secures the assembly.

HAVE YOU FOLLOWED ALL SIX STEPS OF

THE ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE? IF YOU

HAVE NOT FOLLOWED THEM IN THEIR

PROPER SEQUENCE, YOU CANNOT

EXPECT A CCURA TE CUTTING RESUL TS.

In addition to the proper alignment of your saw, you must

also become familiar with the following practices in order

to expect the best results.

I. Edge of workpiece which is placed against fence

must be as straight as the long side of your framing

square.

2. Workpiece must be as flat as the front table board

on your saw.

3. There must be no sawdust or other wood chips

between the fence and front table board.

4. There must be no sawdust or other wood chips

underneath workpiece or between workpiece and

fence.

5. Workpiece must be held tightly against fence . ..

this is especially important when making angle cuts

because the workpiece has a tendency to move.

6. Always use the correct Sawblade for the Job ...

Always keep it sharp.

7. When making a four sided frame:

a. The two side pieces must be exactly the same

length

b. The top and bottom pieces must be exactly the

same length.

c. Always place the same edge of the workpiece

against, the fence . . . turn the workpiece end

for end for the successive cuts and mark a pencil

line on the table for gauging the required length.

available at your nearest Sears Retail Store or Catalog

Store. This book contains considerable data applicable to

the radial saw.

NOTE: Refer to paragraphs under "OPERATION" for

illustrations and descriptions of controls.

basic saw operations

REQUIREMENTS FOR CROSSCUT

Board position (stationary) against rip fence (guide) and

laying flat on table top.

(OPERATIONS 1 THROUGH 4)

Arbor nut must be tight and saw blade guard installed

in horizontal position.

Arm control lever must be in locked position.

Adjust the antikickback assembly so the pawls just clear

the workpiece or the fence, whichever is higher.

Work must be held firmly against table and fence. For

workpieces thicker than the fence is high, install a

higher fence (at least workpiece thickness). Always

place the fence in the most forward position (farthest

from the column support) compatible with the

workpiece being processed and the operation being

performed. With the carriage fully retracted, the blade

must not contact the workpiece when placed against

the fence, within the stated capacities of your saw.

5. Blade should be sharp and correctly set.

6. Hands must be kept well away from saw blade.

7. Yoke clamp handle must be in locked position.

8. Bevel index lever must be locked.

9. Blade should cut into the table or plywood cover not

more than 1/32 inch.

10. Pull the saw forward just far enough to sever the

lumber. It is dangerous if the blade has been pulled too

far out beyond the piece being cut. When it is returned

it can pick up the right hand piece and throw it over the

fence.

For operations No. 3 and No. 4, observe additional

instructions under paragraph "Operating Controls"

"Blade Angle".

OPERATION No. 1 - CROSSCUT

Crosscutting is the process of sawing the workpiece by

pulling the saw blade through it and using the fence as a

support for the edge of the workpiece. Never crosscut

free-hand.

WARNING: BEFORE CROSSCUTTING, MAKE SURE

THE ARM CONTROL LEVER, BEVEL LOCK LEVER

AND YOKE CLAMP ARE ALL LOCKED. NEVER USE A

LENGTH STOP OR A FIXED GUIDE ON THE FREE

END OR EDGE OF A WORKPIECE. DO NOT CROSSCUT

WORKPIECES THAT PLACE YOUR HANDS CLOSE TO

THE PATH OF THE SAW BLADE. WHEN MORE

EXPERIENCE IS GAINED BY USING THE SAW, IT

WILL BE NOTICED, THAT WHEN PULLING THE SAW

TOWARD YOU DURING CROSSCUTTING, THE BLADE

TENDS TO FEED ITSELF THROUGH THE WORK DUE

TO THE ROTATION OF THE BLADE AND THE

DIRECTION OF THE FEED. THEREFORE, YOU

SHOULD DEVELOP THE HABIT OF HOLDING YOUR

RIGHT ARM STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER TO

THE WRIST.

PROPER

(SEE ITEM "10" AT LEFT)

IMPROPER

(SEE ITEM "10" AT LEFT)

REPETITIVE CROSSCUTTING

Clamp a "C'" clamp (min. 6 inch) using a wood block on

each side of the arm. This will limit the carriage travel

beyond the position necessary to complete the crosscut

operation.

basic saw operations

OPERATION No. 2 - MITER CROSSCUT

Miter crosscutting is the process of sawing a board at any

angle other than a 90 ° (square) cut. The 45 ° miter angle is

a popular one, since two boards cut to 45 ° can be

assembled to form a 90 ° corner for producing a square or

rectangular frame. The radial arm is set to the desired angle

of cut; yoke and bevel settings indexed at 0 ° (and locked)

as in square crosscutting. The board being cut is held firmly

against the fence (guide) and the carriage pulled forward

along the radial arm to perform the desired cut. As in

"Operation No. 1", the carriage should be returned to full

rear position and the saw blade allowed to come to a

complete stop before removing the boards from saw table.

OPERATION No. 3 - BEVEL CROSSCUT

Bevel crosscutting is the process of sawing at 90 ° (square)

across the board with the saw blade set at an angle other

than 90 ° to the saw table. The radial arm and yoke are

indexed at 0° and locked, but the bevel is set to the desired

angle of cut. The board is held firmly against the fence and

the carriage pulled forward along the radial arm to produce

the cut. The carriage should be returned to full rearward

position and the saw blade allowed to come to a complete

stop before removing the boards from saw table.

OPERATION No. 4- COMPOUND ° !_ ,

CROSSCUT

Compound crosscutting is the combination of miter and

bevel crosscuts. The radial arm and bevel are set to produce

the desired cut; the yoke is indexed at 0° and locked. The

board is held firmly against the fence and the carriage

pulled forward along the radial arm to produce the cut.

Again, the carriage should be returned to full rearward

position and the saw blade allowed to come to a complete

stop before removing boards from saw table.

REQUIREMENTS WHEN RIPPING

(OPERATIONS 5 AND 6)

1. Carriage lock knob must be locked.

2. Radial arm must be locked in 0° position.

3. Work must be held firmly against table and fence while

feeding through.

4, Guard, spreader, and antikickback (AKB) mechanism

must be properly set. OBSERVE INSTRUCTIONS IN

PARAGRAPH, "POSITIONING GUARD, AND

ANTIKICKBACK AND SPREADER ASSEMBLY FOR

RIPPING" UNDER "LOCATION AND FUNCTION

OF CONTROLS".

5. Blade should be sharp and correctly set.

6. When ripping narrow stock, less than 6 inches but more

than 1/4 inch between the guard and the fence (guide),

use a "Push Stick" at least 1/4" thick and at least 16"

long so the workpiece is clear of the blade before your

hand contacts the guard.

SLIGHTLY LESS THAN

THICKNESS OF WORKPIECE

UP TO 3/8"

GREATER

SLIGHTLY LESS

THAN 90 o

(!-INCH SQUARES)

PLYWOOD

7. When ripping stock 1/4 inch or less between the blade

and fence (guide) use a Pusher Board.

Pusher board should not be less than 4 inches wide and

16 inches long. Nail or glue a 3/4 x 3/4 x 4 inch block

to one edge of pusher board to be used as a grip.

The pusher board should be fed into the blade behind

the stock being ripped until the stock is clear of the rear

of the blade (not more than 8 inches so as not to strike

antikickback pawls) and then pulled back with use of

the grip.

1/2"

8. Hands must be kept well away from saw blade.

9. Saw blade MUST be parallel to fence, to minimize

possibility of kickbacks.

10. For every new width of cut, a new PUSHER BOARD

must be used.

11. The pusher board should be the same thickness as the

workpiece. No thinner for strength, or no thicker since

the nose of the guard must clear the top of the

workpiece with minimum clearance.

OPERATION No. 5 - OUT-RIPPING

AND IN-RIPPING

Ripping is the process of sawing the workpiece by

feeding it into the saw blade when using the fence as a

guide and as a positioning device to obtain the desired

width of cut. The sawblade is parallel to the fence.

WARNING: NEVER RIP FREE-HAND. BEFORE

RIPPING, MAKE SURE THE GUARD, AND

ANTIKICKBACK AND SPREADER ASSEMBLY ARE

SET UP PROPERLY. ALSO, MAKE SURE THE SAW

BLADE IS PARALLEL WITH THE FENCE. NEVER

RIP WORKPIECES SHORTER THAN THE SAW

BLADE DIAMETER.

£ince the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a

straight edge in order to make sliding contact with the

fence. Also, the work must make solid contact with the

table, so that it will not wobble. Provide a straight edge,

even if this means temporarily nailing of an auxiliary

straight-edged board to the work. If the workpiece is

warped, turn [he hollow side down.

Always use the saw guard and make sure the spreader is

correctly aligned with the saw kerf and antikickback

pawls properly adjusted. Wood cut with the grain tends

to spring the kerf closed and bind the blade and a

kickback could occur.

Stand a little to one side of center to be clear of work

in case of kickback.

When ripping short or narrow work, always use a push

stick applied to the section of the workpiece between

the blade and fence.., push the work past the blade so

it is clear of the blade. This procedure will minimize the

possibility of kickbacks.

In-Ripping. The ladial arm and bevel are indexed at 0° and

locked, but the yoke is turned 90-degrees in a clockwise

direction (viewed from above) from the crosscut position.

Thus, when standing in front of the saw, the blade would

be rotating counterclockwise. After positioning the guard

and antikickback mechanism the workpiece is fed from the

right-hand side of the saw. The "Blade In-Rip" scale is on

the left-hand side of radial arm.

Out-Ripping. The radial arm and bevel are indexed at 0 °

and locked, but the yoke is turned 90-degrees in a

counterclockwise direction (viewed from above), from the

crosscut position. When standing in front of the saw, blade

would be rotating clockwise. After positioning the guard

and antikickback mechanism the workpiece is fed from the

left-hand side of the saw. The"Blade Out-Rip" scale is on

the left hand side of radial arm.

OPERATION No. 6- BEVEL RIPPING

Bevel ripping is either in-ripping or out-ripping as described

above, except the saw blade is tilted out of perpendicular to

the saw table surface. The radial arm is indexed at 00 and

locked, the bevel is set to the desired bevel angle and the

yoke is positioned for in-ripping (saw blade at rear) or

out-ripping (saw blade at front), as required. All

requirements and observations applicable to normal ripping

operations also apply to bevel ripping.

DADOING

Instructions for operating the Dado Head are contained in

booklet furnished with the Dado Head.

The saw arbor is designed for dado heads up to 13/16

inches wide. Do not install a wider dado head on the arbor.

Take several pas_es if required dado cut exceeds 13/16 inch.

When installing the dado head on the arbor, ALWAYS

install the inside "loose collar" first. Be sure the teeth of

the chippers are placed to fall in blade gullets, and chippers

are approximately equally spaced around the arbor.

DO NOT install the outside loose collar. Make sure the

arbor nut is tight. Install the arbor nut directly against the

outer blade of dado head.

For best results and to avoid excessive load on the motor,

NEVER CUT A 13/16" WIDE DADO, DEEPER THAN

3/4" IN ONE PASS.

MOLDING/SANDING

Instructions for operating the Molding Head are contained

in a booklet furnished with the Molding Head.

For use of Molding Head Cutter or Drum Sander with saw

arbor vertical the rear table requires an opening (next to

rear face of fence) for clearance. Cut this opening as shown.

REAR TABLE

For top-side rabbeting or molding in the in-rip position,

relieve the fence by positioning the cutting tool at the

desired location on the arm, locking the Carriage Lock

Knob, and lowering the cutting tool slowly into the fence -

remove only as much material from the fence as is

necessary.

NEVER USE A DADO HEAD OR MOLDING HEAD WITH THE SAW ARBOR VERTICAL WITHOUT INSTALLING AND

ADJUSTING A MOLDING HEAD/DADO GUARD. FOR TOP-SIDE DADOING OR MOLDING, INSTALL AND ADJUST

THE SAWBLADE GUARD AND AKB DEVICE FOR RIPPING OR CROSSCUTTING AS APPROPRIATE.

ADJUSTING CARRIAGE BEARINGS

In proper adjustment the top and bottom radii of all four

bearings should be in contact with the arm tracks for their

entire length and carriage should roll freely but with some

resistance.

To test for looseness between bearings and tracks on radial

arm, perform the following steps.

1. Remove left-hand carriage cover.

2. Push the carriage to its full most rearward position.

3. Finger hold front carriage bearing as shown and apply

as much force as possible and at the same time pull

carriage forward. If you can stop the bearing from

turning it will require adjusting.

4. Check rear bearing in the same manner and adjust as

follows:

a. Loosen nuts just enough to permit the eccentric

screws to turn.

b. Rotate the eccentric screws a partial turn (left or

right) as required to take up looseness.

c. Hold the heads of eccentric screws in the position

established in the preceding step and tighten nuts

on underside of carriage. Correct adjustment exists

when you cannot keep the bearings from turning.

However, excessive bearing pressure will cause

difficult operation and rapid wear.

maintenance and lubrication

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH

"OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE

OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING OR LUBRICATING

YOUR SAW.

When you receive your new Craftsman radial saw, it

requires no lubrication. The radial saw has been partially

aligned and all bearings are lubricated and sealed for life. In

time, however, in order to keep your saw in perfect

working order and accurate, it will be necessary to lubricate

and realign. In fact, your radial saw needs more of a

cleaning than a lubrication.

Make sure the teeth of the ANTI KICKBACK pawls are

always sharp. Replace if not sharp.

LUBRICATION

Your saw is precision built and should be kept clean and

properly lubricated. Before describing the various points

which may periodically require lubrication, IT IS MORE

IMPORTANT TO FIRST MENTION THE VARIOUS

POINTS WHICH SHOULD NOT BE LUBRICATED.

NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED

Do not lubricate carriage ball bearings or motor bearings as

these are sealed ball bearings and require no added

lubrication.

PERIODICALLY LUBRICATE THESE POINTS

Use SAE No. 10W-30 automotive engine oil and refer to

Parts List for locations. Apply a few drops of oil along the

swivel latch pin and bevel index pin only if the pin has a

tendency to stick. Remove the left-hand carriage cover and

use oil sparingly to prevent it from getting on the ball

bearings or races.

A light film of oil should be wiped on the face of the

column tube to lubricate the fit between the column tube,

and column support.

CAUTION: Excessive oil at any location will attract

airborne dust particles and sawdust.
