AND GROUNDING

This tool should be grounaed while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock.
We recommend that you NEVER dissemble the tool or try to do any
rewiring in the electrical system. Any such repairs should be performed only by Sears Service Centers or other qualified service organizations. Should you be determined to make a repair yourself,
remember that the green colored wire is the "grounding"
wire. Never
connect this green wire to a "live" terminal.
In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown,
grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not
modify the plug provided -- if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green
with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding
conductor.
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions
are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension
cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the tool's plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord
immediately.
208-240 Volt Operation--the
saw is supplied with a plug like Figure A.
It should be used in the proper standard, matching 3-wire grounding
receptacle. A 15 amp line is satisfactory for 208-240 Volt use.
120 Volt Operation--See
page 19 for 120 Volt Connection. The plug
supplied, must be replaced with the plug shown in Figure B. It should
be used in the proper standard, matching 3-wire grounding receptacle.
The use of a separate 20 amp circuit is recommended. Protect line with
•. 20 amp time delay fuse or breaker. Replace or repair damaged or
worn cord immediately.

0 a on miter scale. Locate miter latch in column slot.
Securely lock arm with arm clamp handle.
Place machine on its back (column on floor) and attach
legs wkh four (4) bolts to each leg. Now place machine
in an upright position on its legs. To prevent forward
creeping of the saw carriage, tilt the saw backward by
shimming under the front of table frame or front legs if
so equipped, Use sturdy outrigger supports if any table
extensions are attached to the saw,

AI1 electrica[ co_mections have been made for you to operate
your machine on 208 to 240 volts power supply. For change
to I20 volt on single phase models refer to connection diagram on the motor name olate, and page 19 of this manual.

1. Wipe tracks with clean dry cloth, insert
motor assembly in arm. Be careful not to
damage rip pointer

Atl Craftsman
machines are thoroughly
tested, inspected,and accurately adjusted before leaving the
factory. Rough handling in shipment can, at times,
affect adjustments.
Because of this we recommend
alignment check before operation. You will also find
that because of overload and various excessive stresses
and strains realignment and minor adjustments may
periodically become necessary to maintain complete
accuracy.

PROCEDURE

The bevel scale is Iocated at the front of the motor.
When the motor is positioned
for verticaI cutting
pointer should be at 0 on the scale. To adjust Ioosen the
two screws, move the pointer to 0 and tighten.

The table top assembly
and guide strip' are checked
for straightness
with a master
straight
edge before
leaving
the factory.
As all wood
products
must
"breathe"
and are affected
by various
humidity
conditions,
a Might change
from factory
conditions
may
sometimes
be found.
Straightness
of top and Guide
Strip, with Clamp
Screws
(at rear of table)
tight,
should
be checked
with a square
or straight
edge.
Correction
can be made only by sanding.
A slight
variation
from perfect
straightness
of table top will
not normally
affect the average
woodworking
requirements.
Do not use a leveI except as a straight
edge.
(This
check
is for straightness,
not levelness
with

floor. )
NOTE: You may desire to place a hardboard
or plywood protective
top on the section
of table top in
front of the guide fence until you are more familiar
with the operation
of your machine.
This procedure
wilt eliminate
excessive
cutting
into permanent
top
and, Iike the guide fence, is easily replaced
when necessary.
Be sure you countersink
finishing nails and
place them so as not to be in line with cutting tools.

The purpose
of this handle
is to provide
a friction
lock between
the upper
face of the yoke and the
bottom

If, at any time, it is
possible
to move this handle
so that it strikes
the
rear leg of the yoke, it is not in proper
adjustment.
Its proper
position
for machine

BEARINGS

The rollerhead is suspended by four speciM tolerance.
grease-packed_
double shic[d bali bearings,
These
bearings are mounted on two straight bearing s!mfts and
two eccentric bearing shafts. In proper adjustment the
top and bottom radii of all four bearings should be in
contact with the arm tracks for their entire length and
head shou[d roll freely but with some resistance. Excessive bearing pressure will cause digicult operation and
rapid wear. Too little pressure will cause Ioss of accuracy
and the saw will try to feed itself into the material being
crosscut, Propcr adjustment wilt require a force of 4 to
6 pounds to move the rollerhcad along the arm at a
constant speed, The front and rear bearings should be
adjustcd to contribute equally to this force, NOTE: the
end cap was rcmovcd for clarity and it need not be
removed for this adjustment.

USE RIGHT TOOL Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL No loose clothing, gloves neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught m moving parts.
Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if
cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or vise to hold work when practical.
It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to
operate tool.
DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for
best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.
DISCONNECT

when changing
accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make
sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult your Sears store
for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories
may cause risk of injury to persons.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL Serious inju_ could occur if the tool
is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintenhonally contacted.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a
uard or other part that is damaged should be carefull x checked
determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function--check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
movingparts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect =ts operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against
the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATI'ENDED. TURN POWER
OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
ONE OPERATOR ONLY. The same person who pulls saw should
position the work.

The lower blade guard covers the side of the teeth when the blade is
behind the fence. READ THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS.

CAUTIONS TO FOLLOW WHEN USING LOWER
GUARD:
1. The lower blade guard will provide additional protection from
contact with the side of the blade--BUT
NOT FROM CONTACT
WITH THE FRONT OR REAR OF THE BLADE.
When the lower guard touches the fence or material being cut, it will
rise up over the material--thus exposing the blade teeth. Be careful,
keep your hands out of the line of cut!
2. Lower blade guards may become caught in prior kerfs in the fence or
table. Replace guide fence frequently.
3. Short cut-off pieces of wood may become caught between the lower
guard and the blade. If this happens, shut off power; wait until
blade stops before removal of piece.
4. The lower blade guards effectiveness is limited in bevel operations.
It may have to be raised out of the way when setting bevel angle to
prevent bending. BE SURE THAT POWER IS OFF AND BLADE
IS COMPLETELY
STOPPED
BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENT.

sure all clamp handles are tight before starting any
operation. Push back to tighten. Pull to loosen.
DO--Be sure blade and arbor collars are clean and recessed side of
collars are against blade. Tighten arbor nut securely, using both
wrenches provided.
DO--Keep saw blade sharp and properly set.
DO--Use anti-kickback attachment on guard.

Catching the lower guard in saw kerfs when changing the saw set-up
can be avoided by elevating the saw until the bottom of the guard
clears the fence.
When ripping narrow strips, the lower guard may have to be raised
to rest on top of the fence. Be sure to use a pusher stick to feed the
work.

Do not use the lower guard with any accessory other than the correct
size saw blade.

To summarize, when in doubt about whether to use the lower guard,
and when practical, make a "dry run" with power off to determine
if it is a help or hindrance.

Use pusher board for narrow work.
Do not perform any operation freehand.
Never reach around moving saw blade.
Shut off power before clearing a stall or jam.
Make no adjustments until tool has stopped.

Use common sense, think all operatio_
and be alert.

Review the "Rules For Safer Operation of Stationary Power
Tools" and "Maintenance and Operation" sections. (See index)

Read through and study the pictorial operating ir_'uctto_
which
follow for further instructions before using your new Craftsman
Radial Arm Saw.

Keep saw in good adjustment and alignment; use only sharp,
free-cutting tools and accessories that were designed for your
machine. These precautions will help reduce the possibility of
jam-ups or kickbacks.

Kickbacks can occur when the workpiece binds between the saw
blade and the fence during a ripping type operation. Such action
could cause the workpiece to be ejected from the machine and
thrown violently back towards the operator.

Never perform any operation "free hand" (i.e. supporting the
workpiece by hand alone). The workpiece must always be solidly
supported or guided by the fence or supporting jig or fixture to
prevent any unexpected movement.

Never stand, or permit someone else to stand in line with the
work being ripped due to possible kickbacks.
The anti-kickback fingers must be kept sharp, free moving and
correctly adjusted to insure proper operation.
Use extra care when ripping material that is twisted or bowed
which can rock on the saw table and cause pinching or binding.
Place the wood on the table in such a manner as to minimize
rocking.
A pusher board should be used when ripping narrow work (i.e.
less than 3 inches or so between the blade and fence). The
pusher board should be made from clear, straight grained lumber
as shown below.

If the sawblade or cutter becomes stalled or lower guard
becomes jammed- Turn off po_r immediately. Never attempt to
free a jam up without first turning power off. Remove workpiece
and re-check machine alignment. Adjust as necessary.
DANGER Coasting cutting tools can be dangerous - apply the
brake immediately on manual braking units to stop the tool as
soon as the switch is turned off.
The torque developed during manual or automatic braking may
loosen the blade retaining nut, therefore the arbor nut should be
checked periodically and tightened if necessary.
Never cycle the tool "on" and "off" rapidly, as forces can be produced which will loosen the arbor nut.

THIC_SS

It is easier to change the saw set-up and will prevent lower guard
catching if work table is higher than rear table. 1/4" plywood and
brady may be used.

Dimension "A" must be such that the workpiece is fed completely

The pusher board should be pre-kerfed prior to use, for every
new width of rip a new or re-worked pusher board must be used.
Do not rip workpieces shorter than 12" in length.

CUTTING KERF MARKS
After all your adjustments are made you should now cut into
the table top the most common kerr marks. This will allow
you to move the saw into different positions without ehanging the eIevation. To do so proceed as follows:
(a)

Locate and lock the arm 90 ° to the fence.
the blade 90 ° to the table,

(by

Draw the saw out to about the middle of the track
and lower the blade until it just grazes the ply top.

(c)

Turn the saw on and push the roller head all the way
back, This will cut the fence and lightly score the
ply top.

(d)

Lower the arm (saw still running) 1/{
i turn, PutI the
saw forward to the end of the arm with your left
hand. This will cut a groove in the table top 1/32"
deep. Tighten Rip Lock. (Refer to figure I)

(e)

With. the say/still running, release yoke clamp handle
and locator pin. You can now rotate the yoke in a
clockwise direction, Conti.me rotating the yoke until
the spring mounted yoke locator pin fails into the next
hole. You have now cut in the tabIe top a 1_ turn
groove known as the swing Iine. The saw is now in
the "in-rip" position. (Refer to figure 2) Loosen Rip
Lock.

(f)

Once the 1/_ turn out is complete loek the yoke lock
with your right hand and with the blade still revoIving push the yoke back on the track until the blade
reaches the fence. This will cut the rip trough in
the center of the table. Stop Motor. (Refer to fig. 3)

(g)

Return saw to position shown in
