1. Depth of Cut (Elevation)
a The diagram shows the eevation crank which is
used to raise and [owe_ the saw blade
b. CIo(kwise rotation ra ges the blade . . .
couuterc]ockwise rotatior lowers it. ©he complete
turn of the handle wil] _aise or Iowe_ the saw blade
1/16 inch.
2. Angle of Cut (Miter)
Proper Indexing Method Experenced operators of
woodworking equipment, such as this Craftsman Radial
Saw, acquire the habit of ndexing in one direction
only, vdqenever a newsettmg s made m preparabon for
a differ{ nt operation.
Examph, When moving the arm to a miter index
position move _t slightly past the desired index posit_on,
then ret 4rn to the index position carefully to index and
lock, Yoke indexng and bevel indexing can be
accomphshed _rl a smiar manner, l-his indexing
techrfiq(m 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. ]he arm control lever locks, unlocks and indexes
the arm for Left and Right Miter cuts.
b. The radial arm has positive index pos_tLons at 0 °
and 4E ° 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.
Aft(r positiomng arm to the desired miter angle,
push arm control lever to locked position•

3. Yoke Pivot (Nipping}
a. Two controB are used in this operation. The,/are:
the yoke pivot latch and the yoke lock handle.
b. The yoke pivot latch automatically indexes the
yoke at each 90 c position. Pull the spdng-loaded
yoke pivot tatctn forward to release this pin.
c. The .,,oke lock 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
4. Carriage Lock
a. The -arriage lock knob is rotated clockwise to lock
the carriage on the radal arm, and counterclockwise
to re ease it.
b. When perform ng crosscutting operations the
cart _age 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 read,/ to grasp the bevel index
i_andie and make a cut.
5. Blade Angle (Bevel)
a The two contro8 userJ in angular positiomng and
inde_Jmg of the motor, to provide the desired
saw blade (bew_) angle, are: beve JGc,k;l_ver and
bevel-index lever ,
b. The bevel ;nd___xscale indicates the angular pOS!t_on
of the motor w_th respect to horizdntaf, fom 0° to
90 ° in either vertical position. _ .................... _,
c. The bevel index ]ever automatically indexes the
motor at 0°, 45 ° and 90 ° Move bevel index lever
to the left while positioning the blade, then re!ease
* r
it. At any (),he poslton it does not engage.
d. The bevel lock lever locks the motor to the yoke
when the motor _s in any positon Pull ]ever to
release and push tO lock.
6. Power Switch and Key
