WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE

SAW

1. To avoid injury from unexpected carriage travel,

lock the rip lock handle before moving the saw.

2. To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:

(a) Bolt the saw to the floor if it tends to slip,

walk, or slide during normal operation.

(b) When table extensions over 24" wide are

added to either side of the saw, make sure

you either bolt the saw to the floor or support

the outer end of the extension from the floor

as appropriate.

3. To avoid injury from unexpected carriage travel

adjust leveling feet so the arm tilts slightly

downward to the rear so that the carriage will not

roll forward due to gravity. Forward drift of the

carriage on an improperly leveled saw could

cause the blade to lunge forward due to un-

expected contact with the workpiece, fence,

table or part of your body.

BEFORE EACH USE

Plan your work.

-- To avoid injury from accidental starting, always

remove the plug from the outlet, turn the switch

off and remove the switch key before removing

the guard, changing the cutting tool, changing

the setup or making adjustments.

To avoid injury from blade contact, slips, shocks,

thrown pieces, etc., check the saw to make sure

that no parts are missing or broken, bent, or have

failed in any way, or any electrical component

fails to perform properly. Shut off power switch,

pull the plug from the outlet and replace damaged,

missing and/or failed parts before resuming

operation.

To avoid injury from electrical shock, make sure

your fingers do not contact the terminals when

installing or removing the plug to or from a live

outlet.

-- Check the fence for proper workpiece support. To

avoid fence breakage which could result in thrown

workpieces and blade contact, do not use fences

made of particle board or other composite

materials - use 3/4" thick lumber long enough to

extend in one piece from end to end of the saw

table, and tall enough to be at least even with the

top of the workpiece. Replace any fence where

existing slots in the fence have weakened the

fence or can snag the workpiece during ripping

operations. Always check table clamps to make

sure any new fence is held securely.

--Choose your cutting tool carefully. Many saw

accidents are caused by use of the wrong type

blade, dull, badly set, improperly sharpened cut-

ting tools, gum or resin adhering to the cutting

tools, and by blade misalignment with the saw

fence. Such conditions can cause the material to

stick, jam (stall the saw), throw or "kickback" the

workpiece at the operator.

-- To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrapnel

(broken pieces of blade), use only blades or other

cutting tools marked for operating speeds 3450

rpm or higher. Never use a cutting tool larger in

diameter than the diameter for which the saw was

designed.

--To avoid jamming of the blade, thrown work-

pieces, and damage to the blade collars, never

use a broken, warped, or unbalanced blade. Do

not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor wrenches to

"snug" it securely.

-- To avoid injury from accidental blade contact by

the workpiece or the operator do not perform

layout, assembly, or setup work on the table

while the cutting tool is rotating. The rotating

tool could cut and throw anything hitting the

blade causing the saw to unexpectedly come

forward.

-- Use the right guard. To avoid losing control of the

workpiece, hitting the cutting tool, or being struck

by thrown pieces, never do any cutting un less the

proper guard (with all its parts in place) is installed

and adjusted properly.

-- To avoid injury from thrown pieces, slips, blade

contact, or jamming of the workpiece, make sure

no play exists between the column and column

support or in the carriage and that the arm, yoke,

bevel locks/clamps are tight.

--To avoid injury from thrown objects, slips or

jamming of the blade due to pinching of the blade

by shifting boards:

(a) Do not leave a long board unsupported so the

spring of the board causes it to twist or rise

from the table.

(b) Check to be sure that pieces will not fall off

the table once they have been cut.

its size and the type of operation to be

performed.

(d) Never use another person as a substitute for a

table extension, or as an additional support

for a workpiece to assist in feeding, support-

ing, or pulling the workpiece.

(e) Never cut workpieces placed side by side or

stacked on top of each other. The pieces can

slide on each other.

WEAR YOUR

-- The operation of any power tool can result in

foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which

can result in permanent eye damage. Always wear

safety goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (shown

on package). Safety goggles are available at

Sears retail catalog stores. Use of goggles or

glasses not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could

result in severe injury from breakage of the eye

protection.

-- To avoid injury from uncontrollable reaction or

thrown objects, never turn the saw "ON" before

clearing the table or work surface of all objects

(tools, scraps of wood, etc.) except the properly

supported workpiece and related feed or support

devices for the operation planned.

WHENEVER THE SAW IS RUNNING

-- Always keep alert. Do not allow familiarity (gained

from frequent use of your saw) to cause a careless

mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction

of a second is sufficient to inflict severe, permanent

injury.

If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it

vibrates excessively, stop the operation immedi-

ately. Do not restart until the source has been

located and the problem corrected.

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, turn

the switch off, allow the sawblade to come to a

complete stop, and remove the switch key. To

avoid damage to the blade and flange, retighten

the arbor nut normally, not excessively.

Never perform any operation freehand. Injury can

occur from blade contact or thrown pieces when

the workpiece is torn from the hands. "Freehand"

means feeding the sawblade into a workpiece or

feeding the workpiece into the sawblade or other

cutting tool without using the fence or some other

proper device to prevent the workpiece from

twisting and binding on the cutting tool during the

cutting operation.

-- To avoid accidental blade contact, avoid awkward

hand positions where a sudden slip causes a hand

to move toward the sawblade or other cutting

tool. Do not place fingers or hand on the work-

piece or table that is in the path of the sawblade.

-- To avoid being pulled into the back of the blade

before you can let go or react, never reach in back

of, or around the cutting tool, with either hand to

hold down the workpiece or for any reason.

-- To avoid injury from unexpected starting, never

attempt to free a stalled sawblade without first

turning the saw "OFF" and removing the switch

key. If the sawblade is stalled or jammed, shut the

saw "OFF", remove the switch key, remove the

workpiece, check for looseness in clamps, arm

and carriage, check the sawblade squareness to

the table surface and to the fence, and check for

heel (see page 18). Adjust as indicated.

-- To avoid injury from falling parts or from falling

into the saw, never climb on or near the saw when

its power is "ON". Never leave the saw area when

power is "ON", or before the cutting tool has

come to a complete stop.

-- To avoid unauthorized saw use, remove the switch

key and put the key away before leaving the saw

area.

BEFORE STARTING A RIPPING TYPE CUT

To avoid injury from being struck by a thrown

workpiece, position the saw so neither you, a

helper, or a casual observer is forced to stand in

line with the sawblade or workpiece.

Whenever possible, use the "in-rip" position. (See

page 29) This provides maximum clearance for

feeding by hand, push stick, or push block as

appropriate.

-- To avoid thrown workpieces or being pulled into

the saw before you can react, push the workpiece

from the nose side (opposite the sawdust exhaust

chute) of the guard. Note the warning on the

guard.

-- To avoid injury from thrown pieces, slips, or jams,

the workpiece must be held down on the table and

against the fence. Plan your hand placements to

safely feed the workpiece into the cutting tool.

Featherboards can also help keep the work against

the fence. A featherboard is made of solid hJmher

per sketch. _-_--- -_J

.... ..... ABOUT

___ 1/4" APART_

_--...-'_-4-J_LL[_-- _o _,,- -

-- To avoid accidental blade contact, never position

the guard or anti-kickback assembly with the

power "ON" or the blade spinning.

-- When properly adjusted to just clear the work-

piece, the guard nose will help keep the workpiece

down on the table. To prevent injury from the

workpiece rising from the table, thrown chips

from the workpiece or blade, or hand slippage

towards the front of the blade, position the nose

guard to just clear the workpiece. (See page 24)

-- To maximize protection from the rear of the blade

and avoid injury from kickbacks, adjust the anti-

kickback and spreader devices as instructed.

(See page 24)

-- To avoid injury from kickback, make sure by trial

before starting the cut that the anti-kickback

pawls will stop the kickback once it has started.

Make sure points of pawls are sharp. (See page

40) Warning: Use extra care for non-thru cuts

because the anti-kickback pawls cannot always

grab the irregular surface created by the operation.

INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE

-- To keep thesawblade from rising up on top of the

workpiece and throwing it back at the operator,

when sawing 1/4" or thinner materials, follow all

normal ripping procedures except set sawblade

into the table top at least 1/8".

-- To avoid kickback, 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. If the workpiece cannot be made stable

against the fence and table top, do not cut it with a

radial arm saw.

-- To avoid blade contact and/or kickback, use a

push stick when ripping short (10 to 12 inches

long) or narrow (2 to 6-1/2 inches wide) work-

pieces. Usea push block as illustrated on page 28

for pieces 3/8 to 2 inches wide or, wherever

possible, place the wider section of the board

between the fence and the blade.

--To avoid kickbacks never feed a workpiece ,'-

through the saw with another piece (butting _'-_

second piece against trailing end of piece being ",_

cut) even if of the same thickness, c_

-- To keep control of you r workpiece, never rip work

shorter than the blade diameter.

For rip or rip-type cuts, the trailing end of the

workpiece to which a push stick or push board is

applied must be square (perpendicular to the

fence and table top) so that feed pressure applied

to the workpiece by the push stick or push block

will not cause the workpiece to come away from

the fence or rise from the table and possibly cause

a kickback.

Plastic and composition (like particle board)

materials may be cut on your saw. However, since

these are often quite hard and slippery, the anti-

kickback pawls may not stop a kickback. To get

best performance, rip with the finished side down

(next to the table) and the roughest side up, and

be especially attentive to follow proper set up and

cutting procedures.

WHILE DOING A RIP TYPE OPERATION

-- Never reach around the blade to the outfeed side

to touch the portion of workpiece beyond the

blade until the whole workpiece has been pushed

beyond and clear of the blade. Your touch could

cause a kickback which could strike someone or

pull your hand into the rear (outfeed side) of the

blade before you can let go or react.

-- 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 or wide workpieces that extend beyond

the length or width of the saw table to prevent

workpiece from being thrown as it falls from the

table.

-- Never apply the feed force to the section of the

workpiece that will become the cutoff (free)

piece. Feed force when ripping must always be

applied between the sawblade and the fence so

that the slot cut by the blade (kerf) will not be

pinched shut on the blade causing a kickback.

Never touch the piece that has been cut off until

the blade has come to a complete stop.

--Keep pushing the section of the workpnece

between the blade and the fence until the piece

has been pushed completely past the blade, so

the blade will not grab the piece and throw it back

at the operator.

BEFORE DOING A CROSSCUT TYPE CUT

--To avoid blade contact, do not perform any

operation that requires the cutting tool to extend

beyond the edges of the table used for supporting

the workpiece.

--To maximize protection from accidental blade

contact and reduce risk of jamming objects into

the guard, place guard in a horizontal position

and adjust anti-kickback pawls to just clear the

top of the fence or the workpiece, whichever is

higher. The anti-kickback pawl assembly will

provideadditionalguardingfromcontactwiththe

INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE

--To avoid injury from thrown objects, slips or

jamming of the blade, make sure the workpiece

will fit the supports (fence, table, fixtures or jigs)

so it will not twist, rock or otherwise bind on the

cutting tool. Make sure there is no sawdust or

other foreign material between the workpiece and

its support.

WHILE DOING A CROSSCUT TYPE CUT

--Always start with the carriage in the full rear

position behind the fence before turning the sew

OR.

-- Never push the carriage and blade backwards

into the work to do a crosscutting type operation.

The cutting tool can throw the work over the

fence, striking someone or causing you to fall into

the blade.

--Always return the carriage to the full rearward

position behind the fence at the completion of

each crosscut type operation. Never remove your

hand from the yoke handle unless the carriage is

in this position. Otherwise, the cutting tool may

climb up on.the workpiece and be propelled

toward you.

BEFORE USING ACCESSORIES

-- To avoid injury from unanticipated hazards, use

only recommended accessories as listed on page

41.

-- The use of grinding wheels, abrasive or cut off

wheels, or wire wheels, can be dangerous and are

not recommended. Such devices can break ex-

plosively and throw shrapnel, causing severe

injury.

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

removed from the saw arbor before using the

accessory shaft. Never operate the saw with

cutting tools (including sanding accessories or

buffing) installed on both ends of the saw arbor to

avoid being pulled into moving parts by hair,

threads, clothing, etc. Make sure the unused

arbor is always covered by a guard, the arm, orthe

screw cap.

-- Using a drill chuck. To avoid injury from sudden

bending or breaking of a drill bit, do not install or

use twist drills longer than 7" in length or extend-

ing more than 6" beyond the chuck jaws. Do not

install or use any reduced shank drill except the

spade type (1" diameter or smaller). Use for

drilling wood or plastic only - bit speed cannot be

properly adjusted for other materials. Do not use

twist drills larger than 1/2" in diameter.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

CAUTION: TO AVOID MOTOR DAMAGE THIS

MOTOR SHOULD BE BLOWN OUT OR VACUUMED

FREQUENTLY TO PREVENT SAWDUST BUILD-

UP WHICH WILL INTERFERE WITH NORMAL

MOTOR VENTILATION.

1. This tool should be connected toa 120V, 15Amp

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.

2. 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."

3. If the motor should suddenly stall while cutting

wood, the power switch should be turned off, the

tool unplugged and the blade freed from the

wood. The motor may now be restarted and the

cut finished.

4. Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping of circuit

breakers may result if:

(a) MOTOR IS OVERLOADED - Overloading can

occur if you feed too rapidly or if saw is

misaligned so that the blade heels (pg. 18).

(b) MOTOR CIRCUIT IS FUSED DIFFERENTLY

FROM RECOMMENDATIONS- Always follow

instructions for the proper fuse/breaker. Do

not use a fuse/breaker of greater capacity

without consulting a qualified electrician.

designed for operation on the voltage and

frequency specified on motor nameplate,

normal loads will be handled safely on vol-

tages 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.

5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or

incorrect connections, overloading, reduced

input voltage (such as small size wire in the

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT: In order to obtain maximum cutting

accuracy and safety, the following six steps must be

carefully followed. Become thoroughly familiar with

these steps so that you can always maintain your

saw in proper alignment. The accuracy of each

adjustment is always dependent upon the accuracy

of the preceeding adjustment.

Be sure to align the saw in the exact sequence

described to insure proper alignment and cutting

accuracy.

After following the 6 step assembly and alignment

procedu re and the Basic Saw operation section refer

to Trouble Shooting section if any difficulty is

experienced when performing any sawing operation.

STEP ONE

Adjusting Column Tube in Column Support

1. Elevate and then lower the arm.

(a) If the column binds and elevation is difficult,

loosen the four (4) bolts, with 9/16 socket and

extension, located through the holes in the

rear column support cover until movement is

smooth but firm.

(b) If column moves front to rear within the

column support, tighten the four (4) bolts,

with a 9/16 socket and extension, located

through holes in rear column support cover

until movement disappears. Elevation should

be smooth and firm. Recheck adjustments,

repeat steps (a) and (b) if necessary.

2. Locate the four (4) plastic hole caps in loose

parts bag #661. After all adjustments are made to

the column support insert the plastic caps in all

four holes in rear column support cover.

STEP TWO

NOTE: The following adjustment, performed proper-

ly, will result in the work table being parallel to the

arm. This helps insure the blade will cut the same

depth along the entire crosscut travel.

ATTACHING AND LEVELING TABLE MOUNTING

SUPPORT CHANNELS

1. From the loose parts bag #499, locate the follow-

ing hardware:

4 - Hex Head Bolts 5/16-18 x 3/4

4 - Nuts 5/16-18

2. Attach table mount support channels with the

four (4) bolts, Iockwashers, flat washers and nuts

as illustrated. Position bolts in center of channel

slots, finger tighten to permit channels to "slip"

against the base when leveling.

3. Release bevel lock handle, and rotate the motor

to position the saw blade end of shaft down. Lock

bevel handle.

4. Unlock and hold miter lock handle in unindex

position as shown.

Position arm against left stop (approximately 50°

miter). Loosen carriage lock knob and position

carriage directly over left hand channel.

NOTE: The framing (or combination) square must

be "true" - see start of "Assembly and Alignment"

section on page 11 for checking method.

5. When the carriage is moved back and forth on

the arm, the marked tooth should just touch the

square at all points. If marked tooth moves into

square or away from square the following adjust-

ments are required.

(a) Loosen the four (4) 1/4-20 socket set screws

on both sides of the front column support (2

on each side) with a 1/8" Hex "L" wrench as

illustrated on next page.

(d) Recheck blade travel. Adjust arm position as

needed by readjusting upper screws only.

(e) Once arm position is good, tighten lower 1/4-

20 socket set screws. Do not overtighten.

Check elevating handwheel for ease of rota-

tion. If rotating handwheel is difficult, re-

adjust socket set screw tightness as needed.

NOTE: The life of your saw table will be lengthened

considerably if you will cover the front table with a

fitted piece of 1/4 inch plywood. This should be

tacked in place for easy replacement. Use of such a

cover will allow you to do all cutting into the cover,

rather than your table top. This will help prevent

dulling of the saw blade and striking table mounting

hardware. Place tacks out of the path of the saw

blade.

NOTE: If alignment procedure step two was not

oerformed, this adjustment cannot be accomplished.

1. Place a framing square on the table with the short

leg against the saw blade. Do not allow the

square to rest against a "set-out" tooth; it must

rest flat against the blade side.

2. If the square does not touch the saw blade as

shown (with square held firm against table top)

STEP FIVE

Squaring Blade to Rip Fence

NOTE: If alignment procedure steps three and four

were not performed, this adjustment step cannot be

accomplished. This adjustment helps avoid binding

(kickbacks) or splintering of wood surface, or burn-

ing of the kerf.

1. Position the rip (guide) fence, spacer board and

rear table board behind the front table board as

shown.

2. Install the two table clamps in the holes provided

for them at the rear of the table mounting support

channels, and tighten them securely.

3. Position carriage as shown and tighten rip lock

handle. Place a framing square against the rip

fence and the saw blade, as shown. The long leg

of the square must be held firmly against both the

fence and the table top, and the short leg must

not touch any of the "out-set" teeth on the saw

blade. Check at several points of blade rotation.

4. If the square does not touch the blade at both of

the two points as shown, a heel condition exists.

Bevel Heel Adjustment

This adjustment helps avoid the grabbing or throwing

of the wood during edging operations.

1. With sawblade in 90 ° crosscut position, elevate

saw, then rotate motor to its vertical position

(blade parallel to table top). Lock bevel lock

handle and be sure swivel lock handle is in

locked position.

2. Check blade for bevel heel by positioning square

perpendicular to fence and between blade and

table as shown. Lower arm until face of blade

rests on square. Be sure square is resting on face

of blade and not on a "set-out" tooth as this wilt

result in a false measurement.

3. If there is a visible gap between saw blade face

and the edge of the square, a bevel heel condition

ex=sts and the following adjustment is necessary.

Unlock the bevel lock handle and loosen the

two cap screws located thru the rear of the

motor support (see illustration). A 1/8" hex "L"

wrench is needed to loosen these screws.

Lift or lower the rear of the motor support until

the gap between the blade and square dis-

appears. Lock the bevel lock handle.

Tighten the two cap screws and recheck

alignment between the face of the blade and

the square. If agap condition exists, repeat the

above adjustment.

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 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 ° leftand right. Thearm is rotated by

pulling the miter lock handle from left to right

and 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 isto lock, unlock and index

the yoke swivel adjustment.

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.

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.

5. Blade Angle (Bevel)

a. A single bevel lock handle is used in angular

positioning and indexing of the motor, to

provide the desired saw blade (bevel) angle.

b. The bevel lock handle controls the angular

position of the motor with respect to horizontal.

The bevel lock handle automatically indexes

the motor at 0°, 45 ° and 90° . Slide the bevel

lock handle to the far right while positioning

the blade, then release it.

The bevel lock handle also locks the motor to

the yoke when the motor is in any position.

Pull lever to right to release and push to left to

lock.

6. Power Switch and Key

a. To turn switch on, insert key into switch lock.

b. To turn switch on, insert finger under end of

switch lever and pull end out.

c. Push lever in to turn switch off. .1=

SPREADER ALIGNMENT, USE THE TAB LOCATED

ON THE ANTI-KICKBACK BAR.

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.

This adjustment is necessary to:

1 Protect the operator from accidentally con-

tacting the sawblade from the "infeed"

direction.

2) Prevent the workpiece from being lifted

from the table by the sawblade thus mini-

mizing lifting or fluttering (particularly with

thin and/or light workpieces).

3) Minimizesawdust from being thrown toward

the operator.

The anti-kickback and spreader assembly is

adjustable to accommodate the thickness of

the board being ripped.

For ripping the anti-kickback and spreader

assembly is positioned by loosening the wing

screw and, with the tab provided, positioning

the anti-kickback and spreader assembly until

the pawls assume approximately the position

shown. Tighten the wing screw.

Make sure by trial - without saw running -

before starting the cut that the anti-kickback

pawls will stop a kickback once it has started.

Insert workpiece alongside spreader under

outer set of pawls by approaching pawls in the

feed direction. Push workpiece sharply in the

direction of a kickback (opposite direction of

feed). Readjust pawls if they do not stop the

kickback motion by biting into the workpiece.

If the leading edge of the workpiece does not

feed smoothly under the pawls, the spreader

may be set too deeply. Loosen the wing screw,

raise the spreader slightly, retighten the screw,

recheck workpiece in-feed and kickback pawl

function.

These adjustments when properly made will:

1) Reduce possibility of kickbacks by prevent-

ing the kerf from closing on the sawblade.

2) Prevent "wrong-way feed". "Wrong-way

feed" is feeding the workpiece - when the

sawblade is in a rip position - into the out

feed side of the cutting tool (sawblade,

dado, molding head, etc.), the side contain-

ing the anti-kickback pawls/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) possibly pulling

your hand with it before you can react. See

Danger label on outfeed side of the guard

just below the dust elbow.

"Wrong-way feed" differs from kickback". A

"kickback" 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), a dull blade, and/or inadequate

set of teeth of sawblade.

Act as a partial guard regarding accidental

contact with the sawblade at the outfeed

side when ripping.

For crosscutting the anti-kickback and spreader

assembly is positioned by loosening wing screw.

With the tab provided position the anti-kickback

spreaders assembly until the pawls just clear the

workpiece or fence which ever is higher.

WARNING: TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD

CAUSE SERIOUS PERMANENT INJURY, OBSERVE

ALL THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS IN ADDI-

TION TO THOSE ON PAGES 2-6.

Basic saw operations are summarized in six cate-

gories, explained and illustrated in the following

paragraphs.

NOTE: Refer to paragraphs under "Location and

Function of Controls" for illustrations and descrip-

tion of controls. Page 21.

Cutting a kerf in the work table and fence.

NOTE: The life of your saw table will be lengthened

considerably if you will cover the front table with a

fitted piece of 1/4 inch plywood. This should be

tacked in place for easy replacement. Use of such a

cover will allow you to do all cutting into the cover,

rather than your table top. This will help prevent

dulling of the saw blade and striking table mounting

hardware. Place tacks out of the path of the sawblade.

1. Elevate arm so that the blade clears the top of the

fence and then push the motor to its most

rearward position.

2. Lower the arm so that the blade just clears the

rear table. Note: The rear table should be at the

same level as the front table (see "Installation of

Front Work Table", page 16). If front table cover

is used, set blade so that it just clears the front

table board cover.

3. Lock the rip lock handle and check to make sure

carriage is locked in place. Plug saw into a

grounded outlet. (See section titled, "Electrical

Connections", page 7.)

4. Insert the yellow key into switch and, while

holding the yoke handle, turn the switch on.

5. With the motor on, turn the elevation handle

counterclockwise to lower the sawblade to where

it just cuts into the table approximately 1/32 to

1/16 inch deep. While holding the yoke handle

and with motor still on, unlock the rip lock handle

and then pull the motor forward and out to the

front stop on the arm. This will allow the blade to

cut through the fence and to curashallow kerf in

the table 1/32 to 1/16 inch deep to provide for the

blade cutting completely through the workpiece.

NOTE:Akerfwill haveto be cut into the table prior to

making any thru cutting operation using this pro-

REQUIREMENTS FOR CROSSCUTTING

TYPE OPERATIONS

(Operations 1 through 4)

Always position the workpiece firmly against rip

fence (guide) and lay it flat on work table surface.

NOTE: To maintain table strength, workpiece

stability, control forward motor of carriage, and

avoid accidents, always:

1. Use only blades that are sharp, correctly set and

undamaged.

10.

Make sure the arbor nut is snug.

Clamp the guard in a horizontal position.

Hold work firmly against table and fence. To

avoid tipping or throwing of 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 work-

piece 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 capa-

cities of your saw. Do not confine the cutoff piece

with your hand, length stop or any other item.

The blade could throw it, causing an accident.

5. Keep hands well away from saw blade. Do not

place hands where sudden blade or workpiece

movement could cause hand to slip into the path

of the blade. Always keep the hand holding the

workpiece visible at all times.

6. Lock the swivel lock handle. Make sure it is firmly

locked. (See page 21)

7. Lock the bevel lock handle. Make sure it is firmly

locked. (See page 23)

8. Adjust the elevation so blade will cut into the

table cover or table not more than 1/32 inch.

To adjust the anti-kickback and spreader assem-

bly so the pawls just clear the workpiece and the

fence. (See page 24)

Pull saw forward just enough to cut the lumber in

two, and then return the saw to its full rear

position. It is dangerous to pull blade too far out

beyond the piece being cut. When it is returned it

can pick up the board and throw it over the fence.

OPERATION NO. 1 - CROSSCUT

Crosscutting is the process of sawing across the

width of 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: YOU WILL NOTICE THAT WHEN PULL-

ING THE SAW BLADE TOWARD YOU DURING

CROSSCUTTING THE BLADE TENDS TO FEED

ITSELF THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. THIS IS

DUE TO THE ROTATION OF THE BLADE. TO

CONTROL THIS YOU SHOULD DEVELOP THE

HABIT HOLDING YOUR RIGHT FOREARM IN LINE

WITH THE ARM OFTHE SAW THROUGHOUT THE

CUT. ALSO MAKE SURE THE CARRIAGE BEAR-

INGS ARE ADJUSTED PROPERLY SO CARRIAGE

DOESN'T TRAVEL TOO FREELY.

OPERATION NO. 2 - MITER CROSSCUT

Miter crosscutting is the process of sawing across

the width of a workpiece 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 a desired

angle of cut, swivel and bevel settings at 0° and

locked. The workpiece being cut is positioned and

held firmly against the fence and the carriage pulled

forward along the radial arm just far enough to

complete the cut. Carriage should then be returned

to the full rear position and locked. Allow the saw

blade to come to a stop before removing the work-

piece from the saw table.

OPERATION NO. 3 - BEVEL CROSSCUT

Bevel crosscutting is the process of sawing at 90 °

(square) across the width of a workpiece with the

saw blade set to an angle other than 90 ° to the table.

The radial arm and yoke are indexed at 0° and

locked securely in place. The bevel is set to the

desired angle of cut and locked. The workpiece

being cut is positioned and held firmly against the

fence and the carriage is pulled forward along the

radial arm just far enough to complete the cut. The

carriage should then be returned to the full rear

position and locked. Allow the saw blade to come to

a stop before removing the workpieces from the saw

table

OPERATION NO. 4 -

COMPOUND CROSSCUT

Compound crosscut is the combination of miter and

bevel crosscut. The radial arm and the angle of the

blade are set to produce the desired cut- the yoke is

indexed at 0° and locked. The workpiece is posi-

tioned and held firmly against the fence and the

carriage is pulled forward along the radial arm just

far enough to complete the cut. The carriage should

then be returned to the full rear position and locked.

Allow the blade to come to a stop before removing

the workpieces from the saw table.

REQUIREMENT WHEN RIPPING

(Operations 5 and 6)

WARNING: TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD

CAUSE SERIOUS PERMANENT INJURY, OBSERVE

ALL THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS IN ADDI-

TION TO THOSE ON PAGES 2 THRU 6.

1. Make sure that the blade is sharp, correctly set

and undamaged.

2. Lock the rip lock handle.

3. Lock the radial arm at the 0° position.

4. Make sure the workpiece is kept in firm contact

w_th the fence and the table. The edge of the

board against the fence must be straight and will

not catch on kerfs in the fence - for workpieces

thicker than the fence is high, install a higher

fence (at least the thickness of the workpiece).

NEVER RIP "FREEHAND" (without aid offence).

Properly set the anti-kickback and spreader

assembly. Observe INSTRUCTIONS in paragraph

"Positioning guard and anti-kickback and

spreader assembly for ripping" under "Location

and Function of Controls" page 24.

Never rip pieces shorter than the diameter of the

blade.

When ripping narrow stock (less than 6 inches

but more than 2 inches between the guard and

the fence (guide) use a "PUSH STICK" (as

shown) so the workpiece is clear of the blade

before your hand reaches the guard. The end of

the workpiece to which the push stick or push

block (see below) is applied must be square to

the fence and table.

PUSH STICK

8. When ripping stock 3/8" to 2" or less between the

guard and fence (guide) use an auxiliary fence

and push block. Make these work helpers to the

dimension shown.

a. Make the auxiliary fence using a piece of 3/8"

and 3/4" plywood. Fasten together with glue

damaged by blade contact during use.

Position the handle at the edge of the plywood

and fasten together with glue and wood screws.

The push block should feed the stock being

ripped until the stock is clear of the rear of the

blade, and then pulled back with use of the grip.

9. When ripping narrowerthan 3/8 inch position the

saw blade to remove the narrow strip from edge

of workpiece furthest from the fence. (See out

ripping section below) Follow procedures as

above based on distance from blade to fence.

10. Keep HANDS away from the saw blade.

11. Saw blade must be parallel to fence to minimize

possibility of kickbacks.

OPERATION NO. 5-

OUT-RIPPING AND IN-RIPPING

1. Ripping is the process of sawing the workpiece

along its length by feeding it into the sawblade

when using the fence as a guide and as a

positioning device to obtain the desired width of

cut. The sawblade is parallel to fence.

2. Since 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 or kickback. Provide a straight edge, to

avoid kickback or binding, even if it means

temporarily nailing an auxiliary straight edge

board to the workpiece being ripped.

WARNING: IF THE WORKPIECE IS WARPED, DO

NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE A CUT IF THE WORK-

PIECE WOBBLES OR ROTATES ON THE TABLE.

IT COULD BIND AND KICKBACK,

3. Always use the saw guard and make sure the

spreader is correctly aligned with the kerf and

the anti-kickback pawls are properly adjusted.

Wood cut with the grain tends to spring the kerf

closed and bind the blade and cause a kickback

or slip of your hand. Always adjust the spreader

to ride in the kerf and prevent the kerf from

closing.

4. Stand a little to one side of the blade to be clear of

workpiece in case of kickback.

5. Always push the workpiece past the blade so it is

clear of the blade. This procedure will help avoid

kickbacks. DO NOT TOUCH the cutoff piece

until the power is off and the blade has stopped

spinning.

IN-RIPPING

The radial 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 counterclock-

wise. After positioning the guard and anti-kickback

mechanism the workpiece is fed from the right-hand

side of the saw.

positioning the guard and anti-kickback mechanism

the workpiece is fed from the left-hand side of the

saw.

IN-RIPPING

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 0° and locked, the bevel is set to

the desired bevel angle and the yoke is positioned

for in-ripping (saw blade at rear) or outripping (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 different dado blades

are contained in Owner's Manual furnished with the

dado.

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

inches wide. Using a wider dado on the arbor could

cause the dado and arbor nut to spin off. Take

several passes of the dado if cut required is greater

than 13/16 of an inch wide.

For best results and to avoid excessive load on the

motor never cut a 13/16of an inch wide dado deeper

than 3/8 of an inch in one pass.

When installing the dado on the arbor, always install

the inside "loose collar" first to ensure good arbor

nut engagement. Do not install the outside blade

collar. Make sure the arbor nut is snug. Install the

arbor nut directly against the outside of the dado.

Use of the dado or molding head in the horizontal

position (parallel to table) requires the proper acces-

sory guard be used. (See recommended accessories

page 41 .)

MOLDING

Instructions for operating the molding head are

contained in an Owner's Manual furnished with the

molding head.

EDGING

Use of the molding head in the horizontal position

requires the radial arm be positioned as follows:

1. Miter the arm to the left approximately 30 ° .

2. Swivel the motor until bottom of motor is parallel

to and facing the rip fence and operating instruc-

tions label is visible.

3. Follow all steps outlined on motor label.

4. A copy of the label reads as follows:

For use of the molding head or drum sander with saw

arbor vertical the rear table requires an opening

(next to rear face of fence) for arbor clearance. Cut

opening directly below arbor in vertical position.

Opening should be:

Use of the molding head in the horizontal position

also requires the proper accessory guard be used

(see recommended accessories page 41).

For top side use of the dado (rabbeting) or molding

head in the in-rip position locate the desired position

on the area and lock the rip lock handle. Lower the

arm into the fence very slowly, remove only as much

material from the fence as is necessary. This will

provide maximum support for the workpiece.

ADJUSTING BEVEL LOCK LEVER

The purpose of this lever is to lock the motor at any

bevel angle. An adjustment is required if the motor

can be easily moved by hand when lever is locked or

bevel lock lever offers minimal resistance when

moving lever to the locked position. To make this

adjustment:

1. Remove motor support cover.

2. Position motor at approximately 30 ° bevel angle

and lock bevel lock lever.

3. With a 3/4 socket tighten the 1/2-13 hex nut

located at the back of the motor support casting

until the motor can no longer be easily moved by

hand. Do not overtighten.

4. Unlock bevel lock lever and move motor to any of

the five index positions. If the motor does not

index securely the adjustment is too tight. Loosen

1/2-13 hex nut until bevel index pin seats properly.

5.Adjustmentiscompletewhenbothlockingand

ADJUSTING SWIVEL LOCK HANDLE

This handle provides a friction lock between the

upper face of the yoke and the bottom face of the

carriage. It should eliminate any play or rotation

between these two parts when locked. An adjustment

is required if the yoke can be easily rotated by hand

when handle is locked or yoke lock handle offers

minimal resistance when moving handle to the

locked position. To make this adjustment:

1. With a 1/2 wrench or socket remove six (6) 5/16-

18 hex head tapping screws and separate track

from arm as illustrated.

2. Slide yoke assembly from track. Keep carriage in

line with track until rip lock mechanism clears

end of track.

3. With a 15/16 wrench or socket tighten the 5/8-11

hex nut until maximum effort is required to place

yoke lock handle in the locked position.

4. Unlock yoke lock handle and swivel yoke to an

unindexed position. Return yoke to an indexed

position. If the yoke does not index securely the

adjustment is too tight. Loosen 5/8-11 hex nut

until swivel index pin seats properly.

5. Adjustment is complete when both locking and

indexing functions are working properly.

6. Slide carriage onto track starting with rip lock

mechanism. Keep carriage in line with track until

all of the bearings are on the track. Be careful not

to catch the wipers on the edge of the track.

7. Re-attach track to arm using six (6) 5/16-18 hex

head tapping screws.

ADJUSTING ARM TO COLUMN

With the miter lock handle unlocked and in the

unindexed position the arm should fit snugly to the

column tube and not allow any vertical movement. If

you can move the end of the arm up and down and

adjustment is needed.

1. With a #2 phillips screwdriver remove two screws

and the rear arm cover as illustrated.

With a9/16 inch wrench or socket tighten evenly

the top two 3/8-16 hex head tapping screws. The

bottom two screws should also be tightened

evenly but not as tight as the top screws.

This adjustment is correct when the arm moves

firmly without vertical movement.

Re-install the rear arm cover.

ADJUSTING CARRIAGE BEARINGS

The carriage should roll freely but with some resist-

ance for the entire length of travel. To test for

bearing looseness, perform the following steps.

1. Place yoke in either the in-rip or out-rip position.

2. Push the carriage back against the rear stop.

3. Hold the front carriage bearing with your fingers

as tight as possible and pull carriage forward at

the same time. If you can prevent the bearing

from turning an adjustment is required.

1. Clean and lubricate the bearing races and the

bead on which they ride prior to adjustment.

2. With a 9/16 inch wrench and a 1/2 inch wrench

loosen the 5/16-18 hex nuts just enough to

permit the eccentric screw to turn.

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

right) as required to take up looseness. Both

screws should be adjusted an equal amount to

maintain blade squareness to table in the rip

positions.

4. Hold the head of the eccentric screws in their

new position and retighten the nuts.

5. Repeat the test procedure described above and

re-adjust if necessary. NOTE: Over tightening

the bearings will cause difficult operation and

severely reduce the life of the track and bearings.

MITER LOCK ADJUSTMENT

The miter lock handle operates adjustable locking

bands which lock the arm to the column tube in both

indexed and unindexed positions. If the arm can be

easily moved by hand when locked in an unindexed

position the following adjustment must be made.

1. Move tile arm to an unindexed position and leave

the miter lock handle in the unlocked position.

MITER LOCK

HANDLE

2. With a 3/16 inch hex "L" wrench find the 1/4-20

hex socket cap screw through the hole in the rear

arm cover. To tighten turn the wrench clockwise

approximately 1/4 turn.

3. Lock the miter lock handle and try again to move

the arm. Readjust if necessary.

4. If it becomes extremely difficult to push the miter

lock handle into the locked position too much

adjustment has been made. Turn the wrench

counterclockwiseone halftheamount ofthelast

adjustment and try again to lock the arm.

RIP LOCK ADJUSTMENT

The rip lock handle locks the carriage in any position

along the length of the track. If the carriage can be

easily moved by pushing and pulling on the yoke

handle when the rip lock handle is in the locked

position an adjustment is required.

1. Hold the rip lock handle in the unlocked position

and with a 7/16 inch wrench tighten the 1/4-20

hex lock nut 1/4 turn as illustrated.

Lock the rip lock handle and try again to move

the carriage. Make additional adjustments if

necessary.

Now place the rip lock handle in the unlocked

position and move the carriage back and forth

from stop to stop. If the carriage is difficult to

move at any point or you can feel the rip lock

dragging on the track the adjustment is too tight.

Loosen the hex nut one half the amount of the

last adjustment and try again.

HA VE YOU FOLLO WED ALL SIX STEPS OF

THE ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE? IF YOU

HAVE NOT FOLLOWED THEM IN THEIR

PROPER SEQUENCE, YOU CANNOT

EXPECT A CCURA TE CUTTING RESULTS.

In addition to the proper alignment of your saw, you

must also become familiar with the following prac-

tices in order to expect the best results.

!. 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 the 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

and down against the table.., 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.

Deviation from any of the above practices will

have an effect on the accuracy of the cuts that

you make.

WARNING: REMOVE POWER CORD FROM POWER

SOURCE BEFORE TROUBLE SHOOTING.

NOTE: Changing one adjustment will effect another,

so it is best to perform all of the alignment procedures

when correcting any one problem.

maintenance and lubrication

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN

POWER 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 ANTIKICKBACK pawls

(key #9 on p. 51) are always sharp. If they become

dull they must be replaced. With a 1/2 inch wrench or

socket remove the 5/16 hex nut and old pawls.

Reassemble new pawls and spreader to antikickback

bar. Check spreader for proper alignment and correct

if necessary. (Follow procedure on page 20.)

CLEANING

Periodically remove any heavy build-up of sawdust

that may accumulate on the saw. The absorbing

tendency of sawdust will draw lubricants away from

the areas where they are needed. Clean the carriage

bearings and tracking surfaces. If packed sawdust

and grease accumulate repeatedly on carriage bear-

ings and track inspect the wipers (key #4 p. 48) for

wear and replce if necessary. (For access to wipers

see "Swivel lock adjustment" p. 32.)

CAUTION: To avoid motor damage the motor should

be blown out or vacuumed frequently to prevent

sawdust build-up which will interfere with normal

motor ventilation.

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 index pin and the bevel index pin

only if the pins have a tendency to stick. Swivel to

in-rip or out-rip for easy access to the swivel index

pin. Bevel saw to 45° and bevel index pin can be

easily accessed behind the yoke as illustrated.

Lubricate the bearing points where the arm attaches

to the column tube. With a #2 phillips screwdriver

remove two screws and the rear arm cover for access

to these points. Be careful not to get lubricant on the

locking rings as this will adversely affect the miter

locking function.

LUBRICATION

Your saw is precision built and should be kept

properly lubricated. Before describing the various

points which may periodically require lubrication, IT

IS MORE IMPORTANT TO FIRST MENTION THE

POINTS WHICH SHOULD NOT BE LUBRICATED.

NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED

Do not lubricate the carriage ball bearings or motor

bearings as these are sealed ball bearings and

require no added lubrication. Do not lubricate

between the miter locking rings and the column tube

(keys #5 & 9, p. 44).

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.

The thread on the elevation shaft assembly can be

lubricated through the oil hole in the center of the

radial arm cap. Lubricate ramp on the swivel index

spring.

CAUTION: Excessive oil at any location will attract

airborne dust particles and sawdust.

Power Tool Know How Handbook ....... See Catalog

*Meets OSHA Requirements as of 8-73

The above recommended accessories are current

and were available at the time this manual was

printed.

*NOTE: This lower retractable-guard isdesigned to provide

additional protection to the operator in an axial

direction to the sawblade (perpendicular to the

plane of the sawblade).

(a) When NOT in the cut (guards in full down

position (touching the table) and carriage in full

rear position behind fence):

(b) When saw is set up to perform 90 ° crosscut

operations (sawblade 90 ° to table surface and

arm in 90 ° crosscut position).

The lower retractable guard will NOT provide protec-

tion to the operator, either crosscutting or ripping:

(a) Axially when in the cut, because the inner and

outer guards ride on top of the fence or workpiece

during the cutting operation, exposing the teeth

of the sawblade;

(b) Radially (in a direction in line with the cutting

teeth);

Potential risks of _njury may be introduced if the

lower retractable guard is used for other than 90 °

crosscut operations, including:

(a) Becoming caught or jammed in prior kerfs in the

fence or table;

(b) Giving the operator a false sense of security

when performing miter, bevel, and rip cuts;

for bevel and compound miter cuts.

(d) Jamming for certain in-rip cuts.
