ANTI-KICKBACK POSITION
(Make sure by trial before starting the cut that
the Anti-Kickback Pawls will stop a Kick-beck
once it has started)
For all crosscutting operations (those operations in which
the carriage is traveled along the radial arm to feed the saw
blade into the workpiece) both the guard and anti-kickback
and spreader assembly must be elevated to clear the
workpiece or the fence, whichever is higher.
1. The blade guard is positioned by loosening the guard
clamp screw and rotating the guard so that it just clears
the workpiece as shown.
2. The anti-kickback and spreader assembly is used during
ripping operations and is adjustable to accommodate
the thickness of the board being ripped. A wing nut in
the guard secures the assembly.
3. Loosen the wing screw and with the tab provided,
position the anti-kickback and spreader assembly until
the pawls assume the approximate position shown.
Tighten the wing screw.
Before making the cut, check the effectiveness of the
anti-kickback pawls by sliding the workpiece under the
pawls in the direction of feed and then attempting to
slide it in the reverse direction - the direction of
kickback. If the pawls do not catch, readjust.
PRECISION INDEXING
Experienced operators of precision equipment, such as this
Craftsman Radial Saw, normally acquire the habit of
indexing the machine in one direction only, whenever a
new setting is made in preparation for a different operation.
For example: when moving the radial arm to a new
position, it is advisable to move it slightly past the desired
index position, then return it slowly and carefully to latch
and lock it. Swivel indexing and bevel indexing can be
accomplished in a similar manner. This indexing technique
tends to neutralize any stresses imposed upon saw
components and contributes to the high degree of accuracy
the saw is capable of producing when operated expertly.
