5. Installing Remaining Table Boards

a. Install the fence, rear table, table spacer and three

table clamps. (See figure 34.)

b. Tighten the three table clamps firmly.

NOTE: The life of the saw table can be

greatly lengthened if a 1/4-inch piece of

plywood is tacked to the table top after

leveling. Then all cutting can be done in the

added piece of plywood instead of the

table. It also eliminates the need for

changing elevation settings when making

right- or left-hand miter cuts.

6. Setting Bevel Index Scale

a. The bevel indicator (figure 35) should read 0° on

the bevel index scale.

b. If not, loosen the indicator attaching screw, adjust

the indicator to 0° and tighten the attaching

screw.

Adjusting Rip Scale Indicators

NOTE: The rip scales and pointers are

intended to be used for quick settings. For

greater accuracy, take direct measurement

between blade and fence.

With the fence in its normal position (next to the

front table), loosen the yoke clamp handle (figure

36), lift up on the swivel latch pin knob and rotate

the yoke as shown to index the yoke 90 ° from the

cross-cut position. This will locate the saw blade

between the motor and the fence. Lock the yoke by

tightening the yoke clamp handle. (See figure 36.)

Loosen the carriage lock knob (figure 36) and

move the motor until the edge of the blade, when

spun by hand, just touches the front face of the

fence. (See figure 37.) The rip-scale indicator (on

the right hand side of radial arm) should now read

"0"-inches on lower portion of the "In-Rip" scale.

(See figure 38.) If not, loosen screws and shift the

indicator until it is aligned with the "'0" mark,

then tighten the screws.

NOTE: With the saw blade and fence in the

position shown in figure 37, the lower

portion of the "In-Rip" scale is used. If the

fence is re-located at the extreme rear

position, the upper portion of the "In-Rip"

scale would be used.

The "Out-Rip" scale indicator on the left-hand

side of radial arm is adjusted in essentially the

same manner as the "In-Rip" indicator, except the
