Release the arm4atch lever. the Pivot Carriage Lock If the radial arm is already indexed, rotate the arm-latch knob 1/4-turn counterclockwise from (2) Move arm-latch b,, A swivel latch pin automatically indexes the yoke at each 90 ° position,, Lift the spring-loaded swivel latch-pin knob to release this pin., ao Two controls are involved in releasing, securing and indexing the angle of the radial arm. These are: the arm4atch handle and arm-latch knob° b, Yoke the Power Switch and Key a KNOB Precision Indexing - experienced operators of precision equipment, such as this Craftsman Radial Saw, normally acquire the habit of indexing the machine in one direction only, whenever'a new setting is made in preparation for a different operation.. For example: when moving the radial arm to a new position, it is advisable to move it slightly past the desired index position, then return it slowly and carefully to latch and loci< it, Swivel indexing and bevel indexing can be accomplished in a similar manner. This indexing technique tends to neutralize any stresses imposed upon saw components and contributes to the high degree of accuracy the saw is capable of producing when operated expertly \ 15 used in angular positioning and motor, to provide the desired angle, are: bevel lock knob and Insert key into switch lock. / operating b insert finger under out, to turn switch confroas end of switch on., lever and pull POSITIONING ANTI-KICKBACK ASSEMBLY, FOR RIPPING end AND SPREADER WARNING: NEVER POSITION THE GUARD OR ANTI-KICKBACK ASSEMBLY WITH THE POWER ON.

For workpieces thicker than the fence is high, it is recommended that a higher fence be cut (at least workpiece tMckness} and inserted for that operation being performed. Always place the fence in the most forward position (farthest from the column support) compatible with the workpiece being processed and the operation being performed. With the carriage fully retracted, the blade should not contact the workpiece when pfaced against the fence, within the stated capacities of your saw. latch handle (knob) and saw blade guard must installed be tight pawls _ust Blade should 6.

NEVER USE A LENGTH STOP OR A FIXED GUIDE ON THE FREE END OR EDGE OF A WORKPIECE. (SEE INSTRUCTION 7 UNDER "SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO OPERATOR".) DO NOT CROSSCUT WORKPIECES THAT PLACE YOUR HANDS CLOSE TO THE PATH OF THE SAW BLADE. WHEN MORE EXPERIENCE IS GAINED BY USING THE SAW, IT WILL BE NOTICED, THAT WHEN PULLING THE SAW TOWARD YOU DURING CROSSCUTTING, THE BLADE TENDS TO FEED ITSELF THROUGH THE WORK DUE TO THE ROTATION OF THE BLADE AND THE DIRECTION OF THE FEED. THEREFORE, THE (SEE ITEM "t0" AT LEFT) OPERATOR SHOULD DEVELOP THE HOLDING HIS RIGHT ARM STRAIGHT SHOULDER TO THE WRIST.

The radial arm is set to the desired angle of cut; yoke and bevel settings indexed at 0 ° (and locked) as in square crosscutting. The board being cut is held firmly against the fence (guide) and the carriage pulled forward along the radial arm to perform the desired cut_ As in "Operation No, !"', the carriage should be returned to full rear position and the saw blade allowed to come to a complete stop before removing the boards from saw table° OPERATION No. 3 - BEVEL CROSSCUT Bevel crosscutting is the process of sawing at 90 ° (square) across the board with the saw blade set at an angle other than 90 ° to the saw table, The radial arm and yoke are indexed at 0 ° and locked, but the bevel is set to the desired angle of cut,. The board is held firmly against the fence and the carriage pulled forward along the radial arm to produce the cut. The carriage should be returned to full rearward position and the saw blade allowed to come to a complete stop before removing the boards from saw table. OPERATION No. 4 - COMPOUND CROSSCUT Compound crosscutting is the combination of miter and bevel crosscuts.. The radial arm and bevel are set to produce the desired cut; the yoke is indexed at 0 ° and iocked_ The board is held firmly against the fence and the carriage pulled forward along the radial arm to produce the cut. Again, the carriage should be returned to full rearward position and the saw blade allowed to come to a complete stop before removing boards from saw table. 18 REQUIREMENTS WHEN RIPPING (OPERATIONS 5 AND 6) 1, Carriage lock knob 2., Radial 3,, Work must be held firmly feeding through,. 4, Guard and anti-kickback set., Observe instructions Guard, and Anti-Kickback (I- PUSH PUSH ST ICt_ INCH SQUARES) STICK must be tight,, arm must be locked in 0 ° position,, against table and fence while mechanism must be properly in paragraph, "Adjusting and Spreader Assembly for PUSH STICK R ipplng." 5_ Blade should be sharp and correctly set_ 6, When ripping narrow stock, than I/2 inches between (guide), use a push stick,. 7, When ripping stock I/2 inch or less between and fence (guide) use a pusher board, tess than 3 inches but more the guard and the fence the btade Pusher board should not be less than 3 inches wide and 16 inches long, Nail or glue a 3/4 x 3/4 x 4 inch block to one edge of push board to be used as a grip, PUSHER BOARD The pusher board should be fed into the blade behind the stock being ripped not more than 8 inches so as not to strike anti-kickback pawls fingers and then pulled back with use of the grip° 8.

NEVER RIP WORKPIECES SHORTER THAN THE SAW BLADE DIAMETE R. by feeding it into the saw blade when using the fence as a guide and as a positioning device to obtain the desired width of cut, 19 basic saw operations 2o Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a reasonably 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. Provide a straight edge, even if this means temporary nailing of an auxiliary straight-edged board to the work. If the workpiece is warped, turn the hollow side down., 3,, Always use the saw guard and make sure the spreader is correctly aligned with the saw kerr, Wood cut with the grain tends to spring the kerf closed and bind the blade and a kickback could occur° 4, Stand a Httle to one side of center to avoid being sprayed with sawdust and to be clear of work in case of kickback, 5° When ripping short or narrow stick applied to the section of the Made and fence ,,, push so it is clear of the blade. This the possibility of kickbacks \ work, always use a push the workpiece between the work past the blade procedure will minimize 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° The "In-Rip" scale is on the right-hand side of radial arm,, OPERATION No. 6 - BEVEL Out-Ripping The radial arm and bevel are indexed at 0 ° and locked, but the yoke is turned 90-degrees in a counterclockwise direction (viewed from above), from the crosscut position When standing in front of the saw, blade would be rotating clockwise After positioning the guard and anti-kickback mechanism the workpiece is fed from the left-hand side of the saw The "Out-Rip" scale is on the left hand side of radial arm. RIPPING Bevel ripping is either in-ripping or out-ripping as described above, except the saw blade is tilted out of perpendicular to the saw table surface° The radial arm is indexed at 0 ° and locked, the beve_ is set to the desired bevel angle and the yoke is positioned for in-ripping (saw blade at rear) or out-ripping {saw blade at front}, as required,, All requirements and observations applicable to normal ripping operations also apply to bevel ripping, DADOING Instructions for operating the Dado Head are contained booklet furnished with the Dado Head.
