The rip lock is used to hoId the motor and

The handle can be folded in by pushing the
red button while pushing the handle in.

All Controls
Always lock the miter, swivel and bevel locks
before making a cut on your radial arm saw.
When ripping, the rip lock must also be locked. When crosscutting, the rip Iock should be
locked before and after each cut, when the
saw is in the rearmost position.

The blade of your radial arm saw must be
aligned properly for two reasons: to make
cuts accurate, and to prevent binding of the
blade and workpiece which can cause jams or
thrown workpieces.

1. Loosen the four screws in the front of the
cohmm support. (Figure 53)

Four Socket
Head Screws

These adjustments
must be done in order,
before using your saw for the first time. If
they are not done in order' the saw will not
cut accurately. If you miss an adjustment,
you
must go back to the adjustment
you missed
and repeat all steps from that point on.

These adjustments are like fine tuning a
piece of equipment. Often a series of steps
must be repeated more than once in order to
get the adjustment just right.

Fig,, 53

2. Raise and lower the radial arm by turning
the handwheeI a few turns in each direction.
It should take about the same amount of effort to lower the arm as to raise it.

_
_WARNINL_:
Plugging the saw in
during alignment can result in electrical
shock or your fingers, hand, or arm
being cut off from blade contact. Do not
plug in the saw at any time during alignment. The saw should only be plugged
in when it is to be used.

Make sure that the blade and

Adjusting Elevation
The goal of this adjustment is to make upward and downward movement of the radial
arm smooth and firm. If the column that supports the arm is too tight it will be difficult to
move the arm up and down and to get accurate depth of cut. If the column is loose the
blade may "walk" on the workpiece and stall
the motor, or cause a heel in bevel and compound cuts.

Crosscutting
Crosscutting is used to cut a workpiece to
length. The workpiece is held against the
fence. The saw' blade is pulled through the
workpiece. Cuts are usually made across the
grain of the workpiece.

Types of Crosscuts
The basic types of crosscuts are shown below.
Notice the hand and body position in each.

of the workpiece and pull your
hand into the blade as the blade
is returned. Pull the saw blade
through the workpiece to the distance shown below.

8. Holding on to or touching the cut off
end of the workpiece while the saw
blade is still turning can cause the
workpiece to pinch the blade. The
workpiece can be thrown and hit and injure you or others in the area. Do not
touch, hold on to, push, or grab the cutoff piece of the workpiece while the
power is on or the saw blade is turning.

9. The saw can throw the workpiece,
workpiece chips or pieces of the blade
violently. You can be blinded. Wear
safety goggles.

Ripping is used to change the width of the
workpiece by sawing along its length. The
workpiece is fed into the saw blade. The
fence is used as a guide. Rip cuts are usually
made with the grain of the workpiece.

Saw Positions

When

to Use

In-Rip

or Out-Rip

The in-rip saw position provides better
visibility of both the workpiece and your'
hands than does the out-rip saw position.
The only time you should use the out-rip saw
position is when the workpiece is 14 inches
or wider. Use the in-rip position for all
workpieces less than 14 inches wide.

for Ripping

There are two saw blade positions for making
rip cuts: in-rip and out-rip.
In in-rip position, motor is toward the front
of the table, and blade is toward the fence.

Workpiece

Positioning

for Ripping

Always set up the saw blade so the widest
part of the workpiece is between the blade
and the fence. For example, if you want to
take 1 inch off an 11 inch wide workpiece, set
the saw blade 10 inches from the fence. Do
not rip I inch off an 11 inch workpiece by setting the saw blade 1 inch from the fence,

WARNING: If the blade is set between 2
inches and 6 inches from the fence, hands
will be brought too close to the blade.
Fingers and hand can be cut off. Use a push
stick.
Fig. 115 In-Rip Saw Position

In out-rip position,
the blade is toward

For example, if the workpiece is 7 inches
wide and you want to cut 1 inch off the
workpiece, place the saw blade 6 inches from
the fence and use a push stick. Use a push
stick when the distance between the saw
blade and fence is between 2 inches and 6 inches. See Cutting Accessories section on how
to make and use a push stick.

motor is toward fence and
the front of the table.

WARNING:
If the blade is set between
1/2 inch and 2 inches from the fence,
hands
will be brought too close to the blade.
Fingers/hand can be cut off. Use an auxiliary
fence/push block.
For example, if the workpiece is 3 inches
wide and you want to cut I inch off the
workpiece, place the saw blade 2 inches fl'om
the fence and use a push block and auxiliary
fence. See C'utting Accessories section.

does NOT provide complete
protection
at outfeed end of the saw. Do not reach
for the workpiece
at outfeed end of the
saw. Fingers, hand or arm can be cut
off. Follow instructions
for ripping.

DANGER

1. Kickback can happen when the saw
blade is pinched or bound by the
workpiece.
This creates force in the opposite direction
to which the workpiece
is being fed. The teeth of the blade grab
and throw the workpiece violently
back
out of the saw.

Fig 118 Kickback, Thrown Workpiece Safety Sign

4. Non-thru cuts increase the chance of
kickback because the anti-kickback
pawls cannot always grab the irregular
workpiece surface. Use a featherboard.
See Cutting Accessories section on how
to make and use a featherboard.

2. The workpiece can be grabbed by the
saw blade and take off like a missile.
Anyone standing in the path of the
workpiece can be killed.

5. The workpiece
can snag or hang up
on a fence with a kerr in it. The
workpiece
can be thrown or pinch the
blade, causing kickback.
Use solid fences when making rip cuts.

6. Wood cut with the grain can spring
the kerf closed, bind the blade, and
cause a kickback. Adjust spreader to
ride in the kerf and prevent the kerr
from closing on saw blade.

7. Composition materials, like particle
boards and plastics, may be cut on the
saw. Because these materials often
have a harder and more slippery surface
than wood, the anti-kickback pawls may
not stop a kickback. Place finished side
of workpiece down, roughest side of
workpiece up. Make anti-kickback pawls
and spreader adjustments. Stand out of
the path of workpiece.

for Ripping

Always set up the saw blade so the widest
part of the worl_iece is between the blade
and the fence. For example, if you want to
take 1 inch off an 11 inch wide worlcpiece, set
the saw blade 10 inches from the fence. Do
not rip 1 inch off an 11 inch workpiece by setting the saw blade 1 inch from the fence.

Fig. !23Anti-kickback

Pawl Position

For example, if the workpiece is 7 inches
wide and you want to cut I inch off the
worlq_iece, place the saw blade 6 inches from
the fence and use a push stick. Use a push
stick when the distance between the saw
blade and fence is between 2 inches and 6 inches. See Cutting Accessories section on how
to make and use a push stick.

4. Tighten wing screw.
5. Go to the infeed

end of the saw blade.

6. Push the workpiece a few inches in the
direction of the cut and then pull the
workpiece back toward you. The pawls
should have grabbed the wood and stopped
the kickback motion by grabbing into the
workpiece. If they did not, repeat adjustments until the pawls grab the workpiece. If
the pawls fail to grab the workpiece, sharpen
or replace them. If that fails to work, use a
featherboard. Repeat steps for making antikickback pawls and spreader adjustments
above.

WARNING:
If the blade is set between 1/2 inch and 2 inches from the
fence, hands will be brought too close
to the blade. Fingers/hand can be cut
off. Use an auxiliary fence/push block.
For example, if the worl_iece is 3 inches
wide and you want to cut I inch off the
workpiece, place the saw blade 2 inches from
the fence and use a push block and auxiliary
fence. See Cutting Accessories section.

_WARNINL_:
When making through
rip cuts do not set the blade closer than
1/2 inch from the fence or auxiliary
fence, your hands will be brought too
close to the blade. Your fingers and
hand can be cut off. Do not use a radial

Push Stick

Fences

Push sticks are used during ripping when the
blade is placed between 2 and 6 inches from
the fence.

Fences are required for all saw operations.
Crosscutting requires fences with kerfs (slots)
to match the path of the saw, because the saw
blade is pulled through the kerf in the fence
to cut the workpiece.

Make

a push stick when:

® the blade is to be placed 2 to 6 inches from the fence;

Ripping requires a solid fence with no kerfs
or slots, because the fence serves as a guide
for the workpiece being pushed into the saw
blade. If the workpiece is pushed along a
fence with kerfs, the workpiece can get
caught on a kerr, pinch the blade and cause
the workpiece to kickback.

3, Place the same edge of the workpiece
against the fence for all cuts. Make the
first cut at one end of the workpiece,
then flip the workpiece over and make
the second cut from the other end. Continue this way until all four cuts are
made. (Figure 1,38)

In order to get accurate cutting results from
your radial arm saw, do the following:

1. Follow all steps in the Alignment of
the Blade section.

2. Place the long edge of your framing

To avoid motor damage the motor should be

sawdust build-up which will interfere with
normal motor ventilation.

For your own safety,

turn power switch off and remove plug
from power source outlet before maintaining or lubricating
your saw.

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.

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.

Do not lubricate

the following:

ocarriage ball bearings

Replacing

Antikickback

Pawls
,,motor bearings

Make sure the teeth of the antikickbackpawls
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. Reasse mble new antildckback pawls
and spreader' to the bar. Check spreader for
proper alignment and correct if necessary_
(See Alignment of the Blade, Installing
Guard / Setting Spreader' section.)

oarea between the miter locking rings
and the column tube

The carriage ball bearings and motor bearings
are sealed ball bearings which require no
added lubrication.

Cleaning

Do lubricate the following, periodically,
using
SAE No 10W-30 automotive
engine oil:

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
track surfaces. If packed sawdust and grease
accumulate repeatedly on carriage bearings
and track inspect the wipers for' wear and
replace if necessary. (See Adjustments to
Compensate for Wear, Swivel Lock, later in
this section.)

oApply a few drops of oil along the
swivel h_dex 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 indexpin.
