Plan your work.
-- To avoid injury from accidental starting, always
remove the plug from the outlet, turn the switch
off and remove the switch key before removing
the guard, changing the cutting tool, changing
the setup or making adjustments.
To avoid injury from blade contact, slips, shocks,
thrown pieces, etc., check the saw to make sure
that no parts are missing or broken, bent, or have
failed in any way, or any electrical component
fails to perform properly. Shut off power switch,
pull the plug from the outlet and replace damaged,
missing and/or failed parts before resuming
operation.
To avoid injury from electrical shock, make sure
your fingers do not contact the terminals when
installing or removing the plug to or from a live
outlet.

1. To avoid injury from unexpected carriage travel,
lock the rip lock handle before moving the saw.
2. To avoid injury from unexpected

saw movement:

(a) Bolt the saw to the floor if it tends to slip,
walk, or slide during normal operation.
(b) When table extensions
over 24" wide are
added to either side of the saw, make sure
you either bolt the saw to the floor or support
the outer end of the extension from the floor
as appropriate.

Check the fence for proper workpiece support. To
avoid fence breakage which could result in thrown
workpieces and blade contact, do not use fences
made of particle
board or other composite
materials - use 3/4" thick lumber long enough to
extend in one piece from end to end of the saw
table, and tall enough to be at least even with the
top of the workpiece. Replace any fence where
existing slots in the fence have weakened the
fence or can snag the workpiece during ripping
operations. Always check table locks to make
sure any new fence is held securely (see page 27).
Choose your cutting tool carefully. Many saw
accidents are caused by use of the wrong type
blade, dull, badly set, improperly sharpened cutting tools, gum or resin adhering to the cutting
tools, and by blade misalignment
with the saw
fence. Such conditions can cause the material to
stick, jam (stall the saw), throw or "kickback" the
workpiece at the operator.
To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrapnel
(broken pieces of blade), use only blades or other
cutting tools marked for operating speeds 3450
rpm or higher. Never use a cutting tool larger in
diameter than the diameter for which the saw was
designed.
To avoid jamming of the blade, thrown workpieces, and damage to the blade collars, never
use a broken, warped, or unbalanced blade. Do
not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor wrenches to
"snug" it securely.
To avoid injury from accidental blade contact by
the workpiece or the operator do not perform
layout, assembly, or setup work on the table

while
the cutting
tool is rotating.
The rotating
tool could cut and throw
anything
hitting
the

In the event this should ever occur, turn

avoid damage
to the blade and flange, retighten
the arbor nut normally,

If your saw makes an unfamiliar
noise or if it
vibrates excessively,
stop the operation
immediately. Do not restart until the source

Use the right guard. To avoid losing control of the
workpiece,
hitting the cutting tool, or being struck
by thrown pieces, never do any cutting unless the
proper guard (with all its parts in place) is installed
and adjusted
properly.
To avoid injury from thrown

proper
device
to prevent
the workpiece
from

operation.

(c) Provide support
for the workpiece,
based on
its size and the type
of operation
to be
performed.
(See basic saw operation
page
4O.)

-- To avoid accidental
blade contact, avoid awkward
hand positions
where a sudden slip causes a hand
to move toward
the sawblade
or other cutting
tool. Do not place fingers
or hand on the workpiece or table that is in the path of the sawblade.

(d) Never use another person as a substitute
fora

or as an additional
support
for a workpiece
to assist in feeding, supporting, or pulling the workpiece.

BEFORE STARTING

A RIPPING

TYPE CUT

To avoid injury from being struck by a thrown
workpiece,
position the saw so neither you, a
helper, or a casual observer is forced to stand in
line with the sawblade or workpiece.
Whenever
possible, use the "in-rip"
position.
(See
page 44.) This provides
maximum
clearance
for
feeding
by hand, push stick, or push block as
appropriate.
-- To avoid thrown workpieces
or being pulled into
the saw before you can react, push the workpiece

For rip or rip-type
cuts, the trailing
end of the
workpiece
to which a push stick or push board is
applied
must be square
(perpendicular
to the
fence and table top) so that feed pressure applied
to the workpiece

WHICH WILL INTERFERE
WITH NORMAL MOTOR
VENTILATION.
Your saw is equipped
with a manual-reset

designed
to open the power line

when the motor temperature
exceeds a safe
level, motor is overloaded
or a low voltage condition
exists.

motor,
immediately
turn the saw switch "OFF",
remove the key and allow motor time to cool.

tages not more than 10% above or below the
nameplate
voltage.
Heavy
loads,
however,
require that voltage at motor terminals
equals
the voltage specified
on nameplate.

2. After cooling
to a safe operating
temperature,
the overload
protector
can be closed manually
by pushing
the red button
on the top of the
motor.
If the red button will not click into place
immediately,
the motor is still too hot and must
be allowed to cool for a while longer.

5. Most motor troubles
may be traced to loose or
incorrect
connections,
overloading,
reduced
input

(such
as small size wire in the
supply
circuit)
or to overly long supply

wire. Always
check
the connections,
the load
and the supply
circuit
whenever
motor fails to
perform
satisfactorily.
Check
wire sizes and
length with the Wire Size Chart below.

If the motor,
after hard,
long use trips
the
overload
protector,
the time equal to the thermal
build up before the trip may be needed to cool
the motor before the overload
protector
can be
reset. An audible
click will indicate
protector
is
closed (reset).

WIRE

The use of any extension
cord will cause some loss
of power. To keep this to a minimum
and to prevent
over-heating
and motor
burn-out,
use the table
below to determine
the minimum

extension
cord. Use only 3 wire extension
cords
which have 3 prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole
receptacles
which accept the tools plug.

3. As soon as the red button will click into running
position, the saw may be started and operated
normally.
4. Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping
breakers may result if:

ALIGNMENT

PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT: In order to obtain maximum cutting
accuracy and safety, the following six steps must be
carefully followed. Become thoroughly familiar with
these steps so that you can always maintain your
saw in proper alignment. The accuracy of each
adjustment is always dependent upon the accuracy
of the preceeding adjustment.
Be sure to align the saw in the exact sequence
described to insure proper alignment and cutting
accuracy.

After following
the 6 step assembly
and alignment
procedure
and the Basic Saw operation
section refer

2. Install saw blade as shown. Motor shaft has left
handed threads - turn nut counterclockwise
to
tighten.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor
wrench to "snug" nut in place. Overtightening could
distort the blade collars and cause blade to wobble.
3. Lower arm until saw blade just clears the front
table. Be sure the miter lock handle and the bevel
lock handle are locked.

4. Placea framing square on the table as shown and
position the blade and square until the leg of the
square just contacts a tooth of the blade. Mark
this tooth with a pencil.
NOTE: The framing (or combination)
square must
be "true" - see start of "Assembly and Alignment"
section on page 10 for checking method.
5. When the carriage is moved back and forth on
the arm, the marked tooth should just touch the
square at all points. If marked tooth moves into
square or away from square the following adjustments are required.
(a) Loosen the four (4) 1/4-20 socket set screws
on both sides of the front column support (2
on each side) with a 1/8" Hex "L" wrench as
illustrated on next page.
(b)

Check elevating handwheel for ease of rotation. If rotating handwheel is difficult,
readjust socket set screw tightness as needed.
NOTE: The life of your saw table will be lengthened
considerably if you will cover the front table with a
fitted piece of 1/4 inch plywood. This should be
tacked in place for easy replacement. Use of such a
cover will allow you to do all cutting into the cover,
rather than your table top. This will help prevent
dulling of the saw blade and striking table mounting
hardware. Place tacks out of the path of the saw
blade.

WARNING: TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD
CAUSE SERIOUS PERMANENT INJURY, OBSERVE
ALL THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS
IN ADDITION TO THOSE ON PAGES 2-6.
Basic saw operations are summarized in six categories, explained and illustrated in the following
paragraphs.
NOTE: Refer to paragraphs under "Location

Function of Controls" for illustrations and description of controls. Page 36.

CUTTING
A KERF IN THE WORK TABLE
AND FENCE
NOTE: The life of your saw table will be lengthened
considerably
if you will cover the front table with a
fitted
piece of 1/4 inch plywood.
This should
be
tacked in place for easy replacement.
Use of such a
cover will allow you to do all cutting
into the cover,
rather than your table top. This will help prevent
dulling of the saw blade and striking table mounting
hardware.
Place tacks out of the path of the sawblade.

2. Lower the arm so that the blade just clears the

same level as the front table (see "Leveling
Front

page 26). If front table cover is
used, set blade so that it just clears the front table
board cover.
3. Lock the rip lock handle and check to make sure
carriage
is locked
in place.
Plug saw into a
grounded
outlet.
(See section
titled, "Electrical
Connections",
page 7.)
4. Insert
the yellow
key into switch
and, while
holding
the yoke handle, turn the switch on.
5. With the motor
on, turn the elevation
handle
counterclockwise
to lower the sawblade
to where
it just cuts into the table approximately
1/32 to
1/16 inch deep. While holding
the yoke handle
and with motor still on, unlock the rip lock handle
and then pull the motor forward
and out to the
front stop on the arm. This will allow the blade to
cut through
the fence and to curashallow
kerf in
the table 1/32 to 1/16 inch deep to provide for the
blade cutting completely
through the workpiece.

NOTE: A kerf will have to be cut into the table prior to
making any thru cutting operation using this procedure.

CROSSCUT

Miter crosscutting
is the process of sawing across
t_e width of a workpiece
at any angle other than a
90 ° (square)
cut. The 45 ° miter angle is a popular
one, since two boards cut to 45 ° can be assembled
to form a 90 ° corner
for producing
a square
or
41

rectangular frame. The radial arm is set to a desired
angle of cut, swivel and bevel settings at 0 ° and
locked. The workpiece being cut is positioned and
held firmly against the fence and the carriage pulled
forward along the radial arm just far enough to
complete the cut. Carriage should then be returned
to the full rear position and locked. Allow the saw
blade to come to a stop before removing the workpiece from the saw table.

OPERATION
NO. 5 OUT-RIPPING
AND IN-RIPPING
1. Ripping is the process of sawing the workpiece
along its length by feeding it into the sawblade
when using the fence as a guide and as a
positioning device to obtain the desired width of
cut. The sawblade is parallel to fence.
2. Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must
have a straight edge in order to make sliding
contact with the fence. Also, the work must make
solid contact with the table, so that it will not
wobble or kickback. Provide a straight edge, to
avoid kickback or binding, even if it means
temporarily
nailing
an auxiliary straight edge
board to the workpiece being ripped.
WARNING: IF THE WORKPIECE IS WARPED, DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE A CUT IF THE WORKPIECE WOBBLES OR ROTATES ON THE TABLE.
IT COULD BIND AND KICKBACK.
3. Always use the saw guard and make sure the
spreader is correctly aligned with the kerf and
the anti-kickback
pawls are properly adjusted.
Wood cut with the grain tends to spring the kerf
closed and bind the blade and cause a kickback
or slip of your hand. Always adjust the spreader
to ride in the kerf and prevent the kerf from
closing.
4. Stand a little to one side of the blade to be clear of
workpiece in case of kickback.

OUT-RIPPING

5. Always push the workpiece past the blade so it is
clear of the blade. This procedure will help avoid
kickbacks.
DO NOT TOUCH the cutoff piece
until the power is off and the blade has stopped
spinning.
IN-RIPPING

The radial arm and bevel are indexed at 0 ° and
locked, but the yoke is turned 90 degrees in a
clockwise direction (viewed from above) from the
crosscut position. Thus, when standing in front of
the saw, the blade would be rotating counterclockwise. After positioning the guard and anti-kickback
mechanism the workpiece is fed from the right-hand
side of the saw.

OUT-RIPPING

The saw arbor is designed
for a dado up to 13/16
inches wide. Using 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

For best results and to avoid excessive
load on the
motor never cut a 13/16 of an inch wide dado deeper
than 3/8 of an inch in one pass.
When installing
the dado on the arbor, always install
the inside "loose

maintenance and lubrication
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN
POWER SWITCH "OFF'AND REMOVE PLUG FROM
POWER SOURCE OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING
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 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.

PERIODICALLY

LUBRICATE

THESE POINTS

Use SAE No. 10W-30 automotive engine oil and refer
to parts list for locations. Apply a few drops of oil
along the swivel index 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 index
pin. Bevel saw to 45 ° and bevel index pin can be
easily accessed behind the yoke as illustrated.

Make sure the teeth of the ANTIKICKBACK
pawls
(key #9 on p. 68) 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.
Reassemble new pawls and spreader to antikickback
bar. Check spreader for proper alignment and correct
if necessary. (Follow procedure on page 31 .)

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 trackig
surfaces.
If packed
sawdust
and grease accumulate
repeatedly
on carriage bearings and track inspect the wipers (key #4 p. 64) for
wear and replace if necessary.
(For access to wipers
see "Swivel
lock adjustment"
p. 47.)

CAUTION: 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.

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 access
to these points. Be careful not to get lubricant
on the
locking
rings as this will adversely
affect the miter
locking
function.
Lubricate

the cam surfaces

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.

NO LUBRICATION

REQUIRED

Do not lubricate
the carriage
ball bearings
or motor
bearings
as these are sealed
ball bearings
and
require
no added
lubrication.
Do not lubricate
between the miter locking
rings and the column tube
(keys #5 & 9, p. 60).
NOTE: Apply a few drops of oil to the actuator
foot
rod where it is inserted through the foot rod assembly
on the leveling foot actuator
(key #3, p. 68).

LOCKING

RING

of the rip lock assembly.

A light film of oil should be wiped on the
column
tube to lubricate
the fit between
tube and column support.
With elevation

The thread on the elevation shaft assembly can be

CAUTION: Excessive oil at any location will attract
airborne dust particles and sawdust.
