SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
Safety is a combination of common sense and alertness at
all times "when the saw is being used.
WARNING: Do not allow familiarity that comes
from frequent use of the saw to become com-
monplace. Always remember that a careless
fractian of a second is sufficient to inflict
sew_re injury.
1. DRESS PROPERLY. Operation of the saw is simple, safe
and easy--when properly accomplished. Always be
alert. Do not wear a tie or other loose articles. Keep
long sleeves down with cuffs fastened, or wear short
sleeves. NEVER STOP BEING CAREFUL. One moment
of inattention can produce a painful injury.
2. AVOID AWKWARD HAND POSITIONS. Do not allow
hands to assume a position in which a sudden slip can
cause them to move into the saw blade.
3. NEVER TWIST WORK. Twisting the work piece will bind
the blade and produce a "kickback".
SAFETY PRECAUTION- The motor shaft has
a cap threaded onto the unused end of motor
shaft and should not be removed.
LUBRICATION
This Craftsman saw is a fine machine and should be given
the best of care. If kept clean and properly lubricated, it
will give many years of trouble-free service. Before describ-
ing the various points which may periodically require lubri-
cation, IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO FIRST MENTION THE
VARIOUS SPOTS WHICH SHOULD NOT BE LUBRICATED.
NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED
AT THESE POINTS
Do not lubricate any ball races or ball bearings.
Do not lubricate the motor bearings. These are sealed
ball bearings and require no added lubrication_
Do not lubricate carriage bearings or tracks.
PERIODICALLY LUBRICATE THESE POINTS
Use SAE No. 10-30 auto engine oil and refer to Parts List
for locations.
1. Apply a few drops of oil along the swivel 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.
2. A light film of oil can be wiped on the face of the column
tube and keyway to lubricate the fit between this part
and the key and column support.
3. An oil hole is provided in the top of elevation crank to
facilitate lubrication of the elevation shaft and radial
arm cap bearing surface.
4. The threads on elevation shaft are lubricated by remov-
ing the elevation crank and radial arm cap.
STANDARD SAW OPERATIONS
CROSS-CUTTING
Cross-cutting is the sawing of wood across the grain. Boards
are sawed with the grain running the length of the board. If
a straight cross-cut is desired, the board is placed on the
saw table against the fence so that the grain is parallel
to the fence. (See figure 23.)
D_RECTION_/

NOTE: When cross-cutting normal pieces of
lumber, the long end of the board should be
placed to the left of the saw blade, as the
board is normally held by the left hand during
the sawing operation.
The radial arm must be positioned at 0 _ as indicated
by the radial arm position indicator. The arm latch handle
must be indexed and arm lock handle tightened. (Refer
to paragraph entitled "'Angular Movement and Locking
of the Radial Arm".)
The yoke must be indexed at the 0 ° position, making
the saw blade, perpendicular to the rip fence, and the
yoke clamp arm placed in locked position.
The motor must be positioned at 0 _, as indicated by
the bevel scale, and locked.
Turn the elevation crank to lower the saw until the blade
teeth are approximately 1/32" below the table surface
and ride in the saw slot made when performing the
"PRELIMINARY CROSS-CUT AT THE 0 ° POSITION".
5. Push the saw carriage to the rear of the radial arm so
the blade is behind the rip fence.
6. Adjust the saw guard so the bottom is parallel to the
table and set the anti-kickback pawl assembly so it
clears the board to be cut.
7.
Turn the switch key "'ON" and press the switch to start
the saw motor.
