INDEXING

Experienced

such as this
Craftsman

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 lock
it. Swivel
indexing
and bevel indexing
can be
accomplished

OPERATION

No. 2 -

MITER

CROSSCUT

Miter crosscutting
is the process of sawing a board 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
rectangular
frame
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. 1", 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.

No. 4 -- COMPOUND

the desired cut; the yoke is indexed at 0 ° and locked. 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

2.

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 kerf. Wood cut with the
grain tends to spring the kerf closed and bind the blade
and a kickback
could occur.

If the motor fails to start, turn the power switch to the

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."

If the motor should suddenly

The

4.

Frequent opening of fuses or circuit
breakers may result
if motor

or if the motor circuit
is fused

from
recommendations.
Overloading
can
occur if you feed to rapidly or if your saw is misatigned

capacity without
consulting
a qualified
electrician.

FROM POWER
SOURCE

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.
Make sure the teeth of the ANTI-KICKBACK

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
latch pin only if the pin has a tendency
to stick.
Remove the left-hand
carriage cover and use oil sparingly
to
prevent it from getting on the ball bearings or races.
A light film of oil should
be wiped
on the face of the
column
tube and keyway
to lubricate
the fit between
the
column
tube, the key and column support.
Apply
a few drops of oil to the bearing surfaces of the
elevation
crank shaft assembly.
An oil hole is provided
in
the
elevation

to facilitate
the
lubrication
of the bearing support.
The
