of the saw blade.
Major Hazards
1. Workpiece Kickback
Kickback is an uncontrolled grabbing and
throwing of the workpiece during ripping. If
kickback occurs, the workpiece can hit
you hard enough to cause broken bones, in-
ternal organ injury or death. To reduce or
prevent kickback, read and follow the safety

2. Kickback Followed by Blade Contact
Kickback followed by blade contact can hap-
pen when the saw blade is pinched or bound
by the workpiece during ripping. Kickback
can happen if you reach around the blade to
the end with the anti-kickback pawls, (out-
feed end), and try to hold-down or pull the
workpiece through to complete the cut. Your
fingers, hand, or arm can be cut off by the
blade if the workpiece kicks back.

Rip Lock
The rip lock is used to hoId the motor and
blade at a fixed position along the radial arm.
It is used during ripping to hold the blade a
desired distance from the fence while the
workpiece is fed through. It is used before
and after each crosscut to keep the blade
from moving forward on its own.
To unlock the tip lock, pull the handle toward
the front of the ann. (Figure 50)

radial arm.
To raise the radial arm, turn the handwheel
clocle, vise. To lower the radial arm, turn the
handwheeI counterclockwise. (Figure 52)
Fig. 52 -Handwheel
One complete turn of the handwheel moves
the arm 1/16 inch.
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 lock-
ed. When crosscutting, the rip Iock should be
locked before and after each cut, when the
saw is in the rearmost position.
22
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.
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.
gk _
_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 align-
ment. The saw should only be plugged
in when it is to be used.
Make sure that the blade and blade guard are
removed from the arbor shaft before begin-
ning to align your saw. Do not install the
blade or blade guard until you are instructed
to do so.
Adjusting Elevation
The goal of this adjustment is to make up-
ward and downward movement of the radial
arm smooth and firm. If the column that sup-
ports the arm is too tight it will be difficult to
move the arm up and down and to get ac-
curate 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 com-
pound cuts.
1. Loosen the four screws in the front of the
cohmm support. (Figure 53)
Four Socket
Head Screws

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 ef-
fort to lower the arm as to raise it.
3oIf movement seems smooth and the
column does not rock back and forth, go to
the next section, or
If movement seems difficult, loosen the four
bolts in the back of the cohmm slightly
(Figure 54) and go back to step 2, or
If column rocks back and forth, tighten the
four bolts in the back of the cohtmn slightly
(Figure 54) and go back to step 2.

Squaring Crosscut Travel
The blade must travel perpendicular to the
fence along the radial arm in order for cross-
cuts to be accurate. If the radial arm is not
perpendicular to the fence, there will be a
slight miter angle in all crosscuts.
_WARNING: Plugging in the saw dur-
ing alignment can result in your fingers,
hands, 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.
1. Place the radial arm in the 0° miter posi-
tion and lock the miter lock.
2_ Place the blade on the ar'bor shaft with a
blade collar on each side. Make sure that the
directional arrow is on the outside of the
blade, and the teeth are pointing down at the
front side of the blade. (Figure 69)
CAUTION: Overtightening the arbor
nuts may cause the blade collars to
warp and the blade to wobble while cut-
ting. Use the arbor wrenches to tighten
the arbor nuts but do not overtighten.
4,, Unlock the rip lock and move the motor
until the blade is over the fi'ont table.
5o Lock the r'ip lock, miter lock and bevel
lock_
6_ Lower the radial arm until the blade is
just above the fi"ont table.
7.. Lay a f?aming square on thefiont table
with the long edge along the back of the table
and the short edge alongside the blade.
(Figure 70)
8. Move the framing square toward the blade
until a tooth of the blade just touches the edge
of the square. (Figure 70)
9. Mark this tooth with a pencil.
10b Unlock the rip lock and move tile motor
back and forth along the radial arm. Do not
move the framing square.
t 1_. If the marked tooth just touches the
square at all points, no change is needed. Go
to step 15, or
If the marked tooth moves away fl'om the
square or tries to "walk" on top of it, go to
step 12 (Figure 70)
Fig. 69
3., Place the arbor nut on the arbor shaft and
use the arbor wrenches to tighten. The arbor'
shaft has left-handed threads, so you will
have to turn the nut counterclockwise to
tightem Do not overtighten.

22° Lock the rip lock, put the spacer, fence
and rear table back in place, lock the table
clamp, and go to the next section.
If there is a gap between the square and the
the blade after any rotation (Figure 73), go
to step 6.
Squaring Blade to Table
for Crosscutting
These steps are necessary so that your blade
will be perpendicular to the table and cuts
will be accurate_ If this is not done correctly,
your cuts will have a slight bevel angle.
1. Put the radial arm in the 0 ° miter position
with the blade over the front table_
2o Lock the table clamps and rip lock.
3. Place the long edge of the framing square
on the table and the short edge against the

repeat.
Squaring Blade to Fence
These steps are done so that your blade will
be perpendicular to the fence. This will help
reduce the risk of kickback when ripping, and
splintering of the workpiece and burning of
the kerf when ripping and crosscutting.

Installing Guard /Setting
Spreader
The blade guard and the spreader are very
important safety features of your saw. The
guard covers a large part of the blade and
reduces the risk of amputation. The spreader
rides in the kerr of the cut wood during rip-
ping, and helps keep the two sides from
pinching the blade and causing a kickback.
NI_WARNJN(3: Fingers, hand, or arm
can be cut off from blade contact if the
blade guard is not used properly. Al-
ways put the blade guard on your saw
and adjust it correctly.
36
WARNING: Kickback can occur if
the spreader is not in line with the
blade. You can be injured or killed. Al-
ways adjust the spreader and make sure
that it is directly in line with the blade.

Fig, 94 -Digital Display
Your radial arm saw has a digita! display
which tells you the position of the blade and
arm at the touch of a button. This display
helps you position the blade so that your cuts
will be accurate.
The following buttons control the digital dis-
play:
ON/OFF : This button turns the display on
and off. The display runs on battery power,
and shuts itself off when no changes in blade
or arm position have been made for three
minutes. The system continues to track the
location of the blade and arm when the dis-
play is turned off, and the current position
may be displayed at any time°
REF SET: This button is used to set the "0"
reference points for the digital display.
BEVEL : This button displays the bevel
angle. The "0" display is usually set with the
blade perpendicular to the table. A positive
display shows the angle the blade has been
turned counterclockavise_ A negative display
shows the angle the blade has been turned
clockwise.
ELEV: This button displays the height of the
blade. The "0" display is usually set whh the
blade just touching the table. A positive dis-
play shows the distance the blade has been
raised above "0". A negative display shows the
distance the blade has been lowered below
tl01_"
MITER: This button displays the miter angle.
The "0" display is usually set with the arm per-
pendicular to the fence. A positive display
shows the angle the arm has been moved to
the right. A negative display shows the angle
the arm has been moved to the left.
RIP: This button displays the distance from
the fence to the blade in the in-rip and out-
rip positions. The "0" display for in-rip is
usually set with the blade .just touching the
fence. The "10.00" display for out-rip is usual-
ly set with the blade ten inches from the
fence.
The "0" reference points you set will be
stored in the memory at all times, whether
the display is turned on or off.. If an error oc-
cur's you will see:

on the display. If this happens, you will need
to reset the "0" reference point for the func-
tion displaying the error.
If the battery is very weak or dead the display
wil! become faded and hard to read. If this
happens, you will need to replace the battery
and reset the "0' reference points for' all func-
tions.

or others can be hit and injured by the
thrown workpiece. Start a crosscut with
the blade in its rearmost position.
3. if the blade is pulled through the
workpiece beyond the middle of the
blade, it can:
®pick up and throw the cut-off sec-
tion of the workpiece which could
hit and injure you or others in the
area, or;
®lift or move the held-down section
of the workpiece and pull your
hand into the blade as the blade
is returned. Pull the saw blade
through the workpiece to the dis-
tance shown below.
4. Fingers or hand can slip into the saw
blade as you make a crosscut. Fingers,
hand or arm can be cut off. Keep the
hand holding the workpiece at least 8 in-
ches to the side of the workpiece, out of
the path of the saw blade. Keep hand
holding the workpiece in view at all
times.
5. The blade can come completely off
table edge beyond the 30 ° left miter
position. Fingers, hands, arms or legs
can be cut off. Use the right miter posi-
tion whenever possible to make miter
crosscuts.
6. The blade continues to turn for about
12 seconds after the saw is turned
off. Wait for the blade to stop before
reaching for the workpiece.
7. If length stops are used on the cut-off
end of workpiece, the cut-off end can
be thrown by the blade. The workpiece
could hit and injure you or others in the
area. Do not use a length stop on the
cut-off end of the workpiece. Use a
length stop only on the end of the
workpiece which is held down.
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 in-
jure you or others in the area. Do not
touch, hold on to, push, or grab the cut-
off 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.

10. The workpiece cannot be controlled
or held stable enough to do free hand
cutting. The workpiece can be thrown or
slip and pull fingers and hand into the
saw blade. Fingers or hand can be cut
off. Set the radial arm to the desired
cutting angle. Keep workpiece flat on
table and solidly against the fence.
Blade Guard, Anti-Kickback
Pawls and Spreader
The blade guard, anti-kickback pawls and
spreader are designed to reduce or eliminate
the risk of injury from contact with the upper
half of the blade and the leading edge of the
blade when:
11. Saw parts loosen and wear with
use. You or others can be injured. Keep
all parts tight and in working order.
the guard is in the horizontal position
and;
12. The fence must be of at least equal
height to the workpiece or else the
workpiece can be lifted or thrown and hit
and injure you or others in the area. See
Cutting Accessories section for instruc-
tions to make a fence.
®the pawls and spreader are set to
clear the top of the fence and
workpiece by about 1/8 inch.
The Blade Guard:
13. The blade will try to pull itself
through the workpiece. Be prepared to
hold the saw handle back to keep the
saw blade from coming toward you.
14. Lock rip lock after every crosscut, or
else the blade will suddenly come
toward you when you lower it to make a
crosscut.
15. Whenever the blade is turning, keep
one hand on the saw handle to keep the
saw blade from coming toward you.
16. Cutting more than one workpiece at
a time can cause you to lose control of
the workpieces, which can be thrown
and hit and injure you or others in the
area. Cut only one workpiece at atime.
Do not stack or lay workpieces edge to
edge.
®provides protection from contact with
the upper half of the blade;
®helps keep the workpiece from jam-
ming in the guard and;
®helps catch or deflect workpiece chips
or pieces of the blade.
The Anti-kickback Bar, Pawls and Spreader:
®serve as a partial barrier to provide
protection from contact with the lead-
ing edge of the blade,

Fig, 114
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 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.
Fig. 115 In-Rip Saw Position
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.
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 set-
ting 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.
In out-rip position, motor is toward fence and
the blade is toward the front of the table.
Fig_ 116 Out-Rip Saw Fosition @feed End)
_k WARNING: Stand only at infeed end
of saw. Feed workplece only into infeed
end of saw as shown above.
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 in-
ches. See Cutting Accessories section on how
to make and use a push stick.
AWARNING: 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.

Safety Information for
Ripping
Read and follow the safety information below
before making any type of rip cut.
DANGER
1. Kickback can happen when the saw
blade is pinched or bound by the
workpiece. This creates force in the op-
posite direction to which the workpiece
is being fed. The teeth of the blade grab
and throw the workpiece violently back
out of the saw.
Kickback can happen when:
Anti-kickback pawls/spreader are not
used or not correctly adjusted,
Spreaderis not in line with the blade.
Blade is not parallel to the rip fence.
Edgeofworkpiece is not in contact with
the rip fence or not straight.
Workpiece is twisted or warped and rocks
on the table top. :
Edge of workpiece is not completely
against the ril_ fence, leaving gaps
between the fence and worl_piece edge.
WorkpieCe is released before being
pushecl Completely past the saw blade.
Feeding pressure :isput on the section
of the workpiece farthest from the fence.
2. One of the most common and the
most dangerous mistakes people make
is to reach for the workpiece at the out-
feed side of the saw. DON'T ! The
workpiece could kickback as you reach
for, touch or try to pull the workpiece
through the blade. You can lose your
fingers, hand, or arm. The blade guard
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.
Kickback,
Blade Contact.
Fingers, hand or arm
can be cut off.
Follow instructions
for ripping.
Fig_ t 17 Kickback, Blade Contact Safety Sign
3. The workpiece can also kickback
violently toward you during a rip cut.
YOU can be hit hard enough to cause
broken bones and/or internal injury.
Keep blade guard, anti-kickback pawls
and spreader in place and adjusted.
Apply feed pressure to the section of
the workpiece next to the fence. Do not
apply feed pressure on the section of
the workpiece away from the fence.
Stand out of the path of the workpiece.
Fig 118 Kickback, Thrown Workpiece Safety Sign
55
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 fen-
ces 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.
Fig_ 119 Wrong Way Feed Safety Signs
Always feed the workpiece against the
direction of rotation of the blade, at the
infeed end of the blade.
,_ DANGER: Wrong Way Feed
Wrong way feed is feeding the
workpiece into the end of the blade with
pawls, the outfeed end. (Fig. 120) There
are two things that can happen if you
feed the workpiece into the outfeed end
of the saw blade:
Infeed End of: End
1. The workpiece can be grabbed by the
blade and pull your hands into the blade
before you can let go or pull back.
Fingers, hands or arms can be cut off. FTg,120 Infeed and Ouffeed Ends of Saw Blade

workpiece kickback.
owhen correctly set, helps reduce or
eliminate the chance of wrong way
feed because it blocks the workpiece
from contacting the saw blade.
WARNING: The anti-kickback pawls
and spreader adjustments must be made
each time a different thickness workpiece
is cut to reduce or eliminate kickback.
Rip Cutting Checklist
Use the following rip cutting checklist at the
beginning of each new cutting period to
reduce the risk of an accident.

Making a Rip Cut Table Kerf
You will need to make a table kerf before a
rip cut can be made. Every time you move
the blade a new distance from the fence, you
will need to make a new kerf.
1. Put saw in desired rip position and lock the
saw arm in the 0° position,
2. Lock rip, swivel, miter, bevel and table
locks.
3, Adjust saw arm with handwheel until the
saw blade almost touches the table top,
4. Plug the saw into a grounded outlet,
5. Put on safety goggles,
6, Insert the yellow key in the red switch.
7. Turn saw on.
8. Lower saw blade until blade touches the
table.
9. Turn the handwheel about 1 full turn
more. This will make a 1/16 to 1/8 inch kerf
in the table.
_WARNING: For workpieces 1/4 inch
thick or less, make the rip kerr at least
1/8 inch deep to keep the saw blade
from rising up on top of workpieces and
violently throwing them.
10. Tm'n saw off and remove yellow key.
11, Unplug saw at the end of cutting session.
Adjustments for Pdpping
DANGER: You will need to make
blade guard, anti-kickback pawls and
spreader adjustments before making a rip
cut.
Blade Guard Adjustments
1. Unplug saw and remove yellow key.
2. Put saw in In-Rip position and lock the
saw arm in the 0° position.
Fig,. 12t In-Rip Saw Position
3. Lock rip, miter, bevel, swivel and table
locks.
4. Go to the in-feed end of the saw blade.
Fig. 120.
5. Put the workpiece on the table, in line with
blade and under the nose of blade guard, so
it touches the blade.
6. Loosen the guard clamp screw and rotate
the guard until the guard nose just clears the
workpiece, Fig. 122,

Making Rip Cuts
When to Use In-Rip or Out-Rip
The in-rip saw position provides better
visibility of both the worlcpiece and your
hands than does the out-rip saw position. The
only time you should use the out-rip saw posi-
tion is when the workpiece is 14 inches or
wider. Use the in-rip position for all
workpieces less than 14 inches wide.
Workpiece Positioning 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 set-
ting the saw blade 1 inch from the fence.
A'k __
_,WARNING: if the blade is set be-
tween 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.
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 adjust-
ments 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 anti-
kickback pawls and spreader adjustments
above.
For example, if the workpiece is 7inches
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 in-
ches. See Cutting Accessories section on how
to make and use a push stick.
_WARNING: If the blade is set be-
tween 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.
59
_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 aradial
arm saw to rip cut less than 1/2 inch
wide workpieces.
1, Set the blade to desired distance from the
fence and lock the saw arm in the 0° position.
2. Lock rip, swivel, miter, bevel and table
locks.
9. Stand out of the line of the workpiece to
be clear of worl_iece in case of kickback.
3. Make blade guard, anti-kickback pawls and
spreader adjustments.
4. Remove workpiece from table.
5. Turn saw on.
6. Place workpiece under the guard nose,
keeping worlcpiece edge against the fence.
7. Place one hand fiat on the workpiece and
next to fence.
8. Place the other hand behind the first so
that your fingers are:
e on the back edge of workpiece;
oout of the blade path and,
oas close to the fence as possible.
WARNING: Even when all steps to
reduce kickback are taken, the
workpiece can still kickback. You or
others in the area can be hit hard
enough to cause broken bones or inter-
nal organ injury. Stand out of the line of
the saw blade and workpiece.
Fig, 124 Hand and Body Position for Making an In-
Rip Cut
10. Position your body at the infeed end of
the saw blade. Start and complete the cut
from that same side.
11. Push the workpiece, putting pressure on
the part of the workpiece between the blade
and the fence. If you push the part of the
workpiece on the other side of the blade, the
blade could be pinched and the workpiece
will kickback.
12. Keep pushing the section of the
workpiece between the blade and the fence
until the piece has been pushed completely
past the anti-kickback pawls.
DANGER: The blade guard does
NOT provide complete protection at out-
feed end of the saw blade. The
workpiece could kickback as you reach
for, touch or pull the workpiece through
the blade, pulling your hand into the
blade. Fingers, hand, or arm can be cut
off. Do not pull, hold.down or touch the
workpiece at the out"feed end of the saw.
60
Fig 125 Kickback, Blade Contact Safety Sign
13. Turn the saw off
,_ WARNING: Blade continues to turn
for about 12 seconds after power is
turned off. Do not reach for cut
workpiece until blade stops, Fingers or
hand can be cut off by the turning
blade. Wait for blade to stop turning.
14. Remove yellow key from red switch,,
Bevel Ripping
To make a bevel rip cut:
1. Set the saw in the desired position.
2. Index the arm to 0° and lock in position.
3. Bevel the blade to the desired angle.
4. Follow steps for making a rip cut.
Note: For dadoing, molding and edging, fol-
low instructions for crosscutting.
Dadoing
1. Instructions for using dado blades are
provided with the dado blade.
2. The saw arbor is designed for a dado set
up to 13/16 inches wide. Use of a wider dado
on the arbor could cause the dado and arbor
nut to spin off. Take several passes of the
dado if cut required is greater than 1.3/16 of
an inch wide.
3. To avoid excessive load on the motor
never cut a 13/16 inch wide dado deeper than
1/8 inch in one pass.
4. When installing the dado on the arbor, al-
ways insta!l the inside loose collar first to en-
sure good arbor nut engagement. Make sure
the arbor nut is snugr Install the arbor nut
directly against the outside of the dado.
Molding
1. Instructions for using the molding head are
provided with the molding head.
2. Use of molding head or drum sander with
the saw arbor vertical requires an opening
(next to rear face of fence) for saw arbor
clearance, See Cutting Accessories section to
make a molding fence.
Edging
1. Edging requires the use of a dado or mold-
ing head in the horizontal position (parallel
to table).
2. Use proper accessory guard when edging°
See Recommended Accessories section.
WARNING: Using the saw without the
proper accessory guard for edging is ex-
tremely dangerous. Hands, fingers or
arm can be cut off. Buy, use and follow
instructions for edging guard.
3. Use an auxiliary fence when edging with
the radial arm in the 0° miter position. See
Cutting Accessories section to make auxiliary
fence for edging in the 0°miter position.
61
WARNING: If the auxiliary fence is
not used when the saw arm is in the 0°
crosscut position, the molding head can-
not be located behind the fence for safe
and proper operation.
3. Remove saw blade, dado, or other acces-
sory from the saw arbor shaft before using
the accessory shaft° Do not use the saw with
accessories installed on both ends of the saw

4. Edging can also be done in the 30° left
miter without the use of an auxiliary fence.
Follow the instructions below.
4. Make sure the unused shaft is covered by a
guard, the arm, or the screw cap to avoid
being pulled into moving parts by hair,
threads, clothing.

is visible.
5. Drill chucks can bend and pieces of the
drill bit can break. You can be blinded or in-
jured if hit by thrown pieces° Do not use twist
drills longer than 7 inches.
6. Use a spade type drill of I inch diameter
or smaller. Use for drilling only wood or plas-
tic because the speed is not high enough for
other types of materials.
e Follow all steps outlined on motor
label as shown below.

Fences Push Stick
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.
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.
Make a new fence:
owhen the fence used for crosscutting
has weakened from having too many
kerfs cut in it;
owhen you want to make a rip cut but
the fence on the saw has kerfs;
e when you want to crosscut a
workpiece higher than your current
fence.
To make a new fence:
Push sticks are used during ripping when the
blade is placed between 2 and 6 inches from
the fence.
Make a push stick when:
®the blade is to be placed 2 to 6 in-
ches from the fence;
®existing push stick has been damaged.
To make a push stick:
1. Use 3/4 inch solid (knot free) piece of lum-
ber.
2. Cut a piece 15 inches long by 1 5/8 inches
wide.
3. Cut a 45 degree notch in one end as shown.
Slightly Less Than

1. Use 3/4 inch knot free lumber. Do not use
particle board or other composite material be-
cause they are not strong enough.
2. Cut lumber to a length equal to the length
of the table, and to a width equal to the
height of the workpiece plus one inch. The
installed fence must be equal to or higher
than the workpiece.

Auxiliary Fence and Push
Block
An auxiliary fence must be used if the blade
is positioned between 1/2 inch and 2 inches
from the fence during ripping, An auxiliary
fence must always be used with a push block.
Their purpose is to keep your hands away
from the saw blade° They are also needed
when you use the molding head.
Make an auxiliary fence when:
e the blade is to be placed 2 inches or
less from the fence;
®an existing auxiliary fence is not the
same width all along its length;
®the existing auxiliary fence has been
damaged by blade contact.
To make auxiliary fence:
io Use one piece of 3/8 inch plywood and two
pieces of 3/4 inch plywood.
2_ Cut the 3/8 inch plywood to 40 inches long
by 5 1/2 inches wide,
3, Cut one piece of 3/4 inch plywood to 40
inches long by 3 5/8 inches wide
4, Cut other piece of 3/4 inch plywood to 40
inches long by 2 1/4 inches wide.
5o Glue the two 3/4 inch plywood pieces to-
gether so that they line up square (flush) on
an edge_

Featherboard
Featherboards are used during rip cutting to
help keep the workpiece against the fence,
The featherboard is clamped to the front
table, so that the angled edge of the feather-
board is against the worlcpiece on the infeed
end of the blade, The other edge of the
workpiece is against the fence.
Make new featherboards when existing ones
have been damaged.
1, Use solid (knot free) lumber 24 inches by
5 1/2 inches by 3/4 inch°
2. On the 24 inch sides mark a point 51/2 ino
ches down on the left and 9 1/2 inches down

limitations
Lower Retractable Guard
Alower retractable guard which meets
OSHA requirements for occupational use
of the radial saw is available. (See Note)
The lower guard is designed to provide
protection from contact with the fiat sides
of the blade when the radial saw is in the
90 ° crosscut position and in its rearmost
position behind the fence. The lower
guard only provides protection against
minor lacerations and bruises°
,41_kWARNING: The lower guard does
not provide protection during actual
crosscutting or ripping, or from con-
tact in line with or at an angle to the
saw blade teeth. When in the cut, the
inner and outer guards ride on top of
the fence or workpiece exposing the
saw blade teeth. Fingers, hands or
arm can be cut off if the saw blade is
contacted. Additional hazards are ex-
plained in the instructions accompan-
ing the lower blade guard.
WARNING: The lower blade
guard can get caught or jammed in
fence and table kerfs, jam while set-
ting up for and while making bevel
and compound miter cuts and jam
during certain in-rip cuts. The
workpiece or narrow cut-off pieces
could kickback causing your hands
to be cut by the blade. Use the
lower retractable guard in the 90 °
crosscut position only.
WARNING:
TO AVOID INJURY

................ Helpful Hints ............................
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
square against the edge of the
workpiece that wilt be held against the
fence during cutting° Make sure that
this edge of the workpiece is straight.
3. Make sure that your workpiece lays
flat on the front table of your saw.
4, Clean all sawdust and woodchips
from the table.
5. Hold the workpiece firnfly against the
fence and table during all cuts, You
should use extra force during miter and
bevel cuts since the workpiece tends to
move when these cuts are made.
6. Use the right sawblade for each job,
and make sure that all blades and cut-
ting tools are sharp,
When making a four-sided frame:
1. Make sure that the top and bottom
pieces are exactly the same length.
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. Con-
tinue this way until all four cuts are
made. (Figure 1,38)

Pencil Line for
Gauging Required Length
Fig t38 -Making a 4-Sided Frame
4, Make a pencil line on the table for
gauging the length of each cut.
2. Make sure that both side pieces are
exactly the same length,
69
To extend the life of the front table of your
saw, tack a piece of 1/4 inch plywood over it.
Make sure that the tacks are not in the path
of the saw blade.
Use of a front table cover does the following:
3. Lock the miter, bevel, or swivel lock.
These steps will reduce stress on saw parts,
and improve the accuracy of your cuts.
,,Allows all cuts to be made in the cover
rather than the front table.
°Slows the dulling of file blade.
There are three pre-set miter angles at 45°
0°, and -45°, five pre-set bevel angles at -90°,
-45°, 0°, 45 °, and 90°, and three pre-set
swivel angles at the crosscut, in-rip and out-
rip positions. When you are moving the arm,
blade, oi' motor into one of these positions,
do the following:
1. Move the arm, blade, or motor past
the position you want, and then gradual-
ly bring it back.
2. Once the arm, blade, or motor snaps
into the desired position, push it to the
right as far as possible within this posi-
tion. Movement of the arm, blade, or
motor will be slight.

Motor
To avoid motor damage this motor should be
blown out or vacuumed frequently to prevent
sawdust buildup which will interfere with
normal motor ventilation°
Frequently blowing of fuses or tripping of
circuit breakers may result if:
o Motor is overloaded: Overloading can oc-
cur if you feed too rapidly or if saw is mis-
aligned so that the blade heels,
If the motor fails to start, turn the power
switch to the "OFF" position immediately°
Remove the yellow key. UNPLUG THE
TOOL, Check the saw blade to insure that it
turns freely and that its teeth are not wedged
into the table top. After the blade has been
freed, try to start the motor again. If, at this
point, the motor still fails to start, refer to the
"Motor Trouble-Shooting Chart_"
° Motor' circuit is fused differently from rec-
ommendations: Always tollow instructions
for the proper fuse/breaker_ Do not use a
fuse/breaker of greater capacity without
consulting a qualified electrician°
Low voltage: Although the motor is de-
signed for operation on the voltage and fre-
quency specified on the nameplate, normal
loads will be handled safely on voltages not
more than 10% above or below the name-
plate voltage_ Heavy loads, however, re-
quire that voltage at motor terminals equal
the voltage specified on nameplate
o Improper extension cord size
If the motor should suddenly stall while cut-
ting wood, the power switch should be turned
off, remove the yellow key and unplug the
power cord. Free the blade from the wood°
The motor may now be restarted and the cut
finished.

General
_t_ WARNING: For your own safety,
turn power switch off and remove plug
from power source outlet before main-
taining or lubricating your saw.
When you receive your new Craftsman radial
saw, it requires no lubrication. The radial
saw has been partially aligned and all bear-
ings 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.
Replacing Antikickback Pawls
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.)
Cleaning
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.)
To avoid motor damage the motor should be
blown out or vacuumed frequently to prevent
sawdust build-up which will interfere with
normal motor ventilation.
Lubrication
Your saw is precision built and should be
kept properly lubricated. Before describing
the various points which may periodically re-
quire lubrication, it is more important to first
mention the points which should not be lubri-
cated.
Do not lubricate the following:
ocarriage ball bearings
,,motor bearings
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.
Do lubricate the following, periodically, using
SAE No 10W-30 automotive engine oil:
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.
Bevel to 45°and bevel indexpin can be
easily accessed behind theyoke as il-
lustrated_ (Figure 140)
72
.Lubricate the cam surfaces of the rip
lock assembly+
+A light film of oil should be wiped on
the face of the column tube to lubricate
the fit between the column tube and
column support. With elevation hand-
wheel raise ann to upper limit+ Com-
pletely collapse bellows by pulling
down on top flange as illustrated for ac-
cess to column tube. (Figure 142)
Fig+ 140 - Swivel and Bevel Indeg Pins
,Lubricate the bearing points where the
arm attaches to the column tube. With
a #2 Phillips screwdriver remove two
screws and the rear arm cover for ac-
cess to these points. Be careful not to
get lubricant on the locking rings as this
will adversely affect the miter locking
function. (Figure t41)

Adjustments for Wear
Bevel Lock
The purpose of the bevel lock is to lock the
motor at any bevel angle. An adjustment is
required if the motor can be easily moved by
hand when the bevel lock is locked or if bevel
lock offers minimal resistance when moving it
to the locked position. To make this adjust-
ment:
LRemove motor" support cover.
2oPosition the motor at approximately 30°
bevel angle and lock bevel lock_ (Figure 143)
Swivel Lock
Ihis handle provides a fr'iction lock between
the upper face of the yoke and the bottom
t'ace of the carriage. It should eliminate any
play or' rotation between these two parts when
locked. An adjustment is required if the yoke
can be easily rotated by hand when handle is
locked or' ,yoke lock handle offers minimal
resistance when moving handle to the locked
position° To make this adjustment:
Fig. 144
Fig !43 * Bevel Lock - Locked
3. With a 3/4 socket tighten the 1/2-13 hex
nut located at the back of the motorsupport
casting until the motor can no longer be easily
moved by hand. Do not overtighten.
4, Unlock bevel lock and move motor to any
of the five index positions. If the motor does
not index securely the adjustment is too tight.
Loosen 1/2-13 hex nut until bevel indexpin
seats properly.
5oAdjustment is complete when both locking
and indexing functions are working properly.
Replace motor support cover:
1_ Remove screw and nut trom knob on
swivel lock_ Remove knob from swivel lock
arm using a regular screw driver.
2. Remove the two screws from swivel lock
arm. This will separate the wrench portion
from the arm portion of' the swivel lock
3_ Using the wrench portion tighten the
square nut one quarter rotation at a time,, Ihis
is done by locating the wrench across the
corners ot the square nut then moving the
wrench unti! it lines up with the arm portion
and the two screw holes are in line,,
74
Arm and Column
With the miter lock unlocked and in the unln-
dexed position the arm should fit snugly to
the column tube and not allow any vertical
movement, if you can move the end of the
arm up and down an adjustment is needed_
!. With a #2 Phillips screwdriver remove two
screws and the rear arm cover.
Fig, 145
4. Holding the wrench and arm in position
rotate ,yoke to a non-preset position and
rotate swivel lock to the locked position. If the
yoke can still be moved the square nut has not
been tightened enough, Repeat step 3.
5_ When the adjustment is such that the yoke
can no longer be moved when the swivel lock
is in the locked position, Install the two
screws.
6, Unlock swivel arm and rotate yoke to a
non-preset position. Return ,yoke to a rip
position° If the indexpin does not securely
seat at the preset position, the adjustment is
too tight. Remove the two screws and loosen
the square nut one quarter turn until swivel
index pin seats securely.
7. Adjustment is complete when both locking
and preset position functions are working
properly,
8. Re-install the two screws mounting the
wrench portion of the swivel lock.
9_ Re-install knob to swivel handle and install
screw and nut in knob.
2o With a 9/16 inch wrench or socket tighten
evenly the top two 3/8-16 hex head tapping
screws. The bottom two screws should also be
tightened evenly but not as tight as the top
screws. (Figure 146)
Fig, 146 _Location of He_ Head Tapping Screws
3. This adjustment is correct when the arm
moves firmly without vertical movement.
4. Re-install the rear arm cover°
Carriage Bearings
The carriage should roll freely but with some
resistance for the entire length of travel. To
check for bearing looseness, perform the fol-
lowing steps°
L Place .yoke in either the in-rip or out-rip
position.
75
2_Push the carriage back against the rear stop.
3. Hold the front carriage bearing with your
fingers as tight as possible and pull carriage
forward at the same time. If you can prevent
the bearing from turning an adjustment is re-
quired, (Figure 147)
Fig 147 -Front Carriage Bearings
4. Repeat step 3 with the rear' carriage bear-
ings.
To adjust the carriage beatings perform the
following steps:
1, Clean and lubricate the bearing races and
the bead on which they ride prior to adjust-
ment,
2. To adjust the bearing, use a 9/16 inch
wrench to hold the bolt head while using a
1/2 inch wrench to loosen the hex nut.
(Figure 148)
Fig 148 -Location of Hex Nut
3. Rotate the eccentric bolts a partial turn
(left or right) as required to take up loose-
ness. Both bolts should be adjusted an equa!
amount to maintain blade squareness to the
table in the rip positions,
4, Hold the head of the eccentric bolts in their'
new position and retighten the nuts. Do not
overtighten, Overtightening the bearings wi!!
cause difficult operation and severly reduce

Miter Lock
The miter tock operates adjustable locking
bands which lock the arm to the column tube
in both indexed and unindexed positions° If
the arm can be easily moved by hand when
locked in an unindexed position the following
adjustment must be made.
1. Move the ann to an unindexed position
and leave tire miter lock in the unlocked posi-
tion. (Figure t49)

2. With a 3/16 inch hex "L" wrench find the
1/4-20 hex socket cap screw through the hole
in the rear of the ann cover° To tighten turn
the wrench clockwise approximately 1/4 turn.

3. Lock the miter lock and try again to move
the atrn, Readjust if necessary.
4. If it becomes extremely difficult to push
the miter lock into the locked position too
much adjustment has been made. Turn the
wrench counterclockwise one half the
amount of the last adjustment and try again
to lock the arm.
Rip Lock
The n_plock locks the carthage in any position
along the length of the ann° If the carriage
can be easily moved by pushing and pulling
on theyoke handle when the rip lock is in the
locked position an adjustment is required.

Motor -2
Problem Probable Cause What to Do
Motor fails to develop full
power.
(Power output of motor
decreases rapidly with
decrease in voltage at
motor terminals. For ex-
ample: a reduction of
10% in voltage causes a
reduction of t9% in maxi-
mum power output of
which the motor is
capable, while a reduction
of 20% in voltage causes a
reduction of 36% in maxi-
mum power output.)
Power line overloaded with
lights, appliances, and other
motors.
Reduce the line load,
Undersize wires or circuit too
long.
Increase wire sizes, or reduce
length of wiring.
General overloading of power
company's facilities.
(In many sections of the
country, demand for' electrical
power exceeds the capacity of
existing generating and distribu-
tion systems).
Request a voltage check from
power company.
Motor overheats. Excessive feed rate when
crosscutting or ripping.
Slow down rate of feed.
Improper cooling.
(Air circulation restricted
through motor due to sawdust,
etc.)
Clean out sawdust to provide
normal air circulation through
motor.
Saw blade has heel. Refer to Making Blade Parallel
to Table section.
Motor starts slowly or
fails to come up to full
speed.
Starting switch will not trip due
to low voltage.
Correct low voltage condition.
Motor stalls resulting in
blown fuses or tripped cir-
cuit breakers.
