additional safety instructions for radial saws

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT POWER CORD UNTIL

THE FOLLOWING STEPS HAVE BEEN

SATISFACTORI LY COMPLETED:

A. Assembly and installation.

B. Examination and operating famdiarity with ON-OFF

switch, elevation control, bevel index and lock, carriage

lock, guard clamp screw, spreader and anti-kickback

device, and miter index and lock.

C. Review and understanding of the Safety Instructions

and Operating Procedures which follow.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cord before

removing the guard, changing the cutting tool, changing

the set-up or making adjustments. Shut off motor

before performing layout work on the saw table.

ALWAYS RETURN THE CARRIAGE TO THE FULL

REAR POSITION AFTER EACH CROSSCUT TYPE

OPERATION.

STABILITY

1. The saw should be bolted down if there is any tendency

to tip, walk, or slide during normal operation. The saw

table should be approximately 39" above the floor.

WORK AREA AND MACHINE POSITION

1. Position your entire saw (or saw and bench) to slope

slightly rearward, so the carriage will not roll forward

due to gravity or vibration.

2. The saw should be positioned when ripping so neither

the operator nor a casual observer is forced to stand in

line with the saw blade.

3. The saw work area should have adequate overhead,

non-glare light and adequate surrounding work space.

4. Set carriage lock before moving machine.

KICKBACKS-COMMON WAYS THEY CAN HAPPEN

Kickbacks can cause serious injury: A kickback occurs

when a part of the workpiece binds between the saw blade

and the rip fence or other fixed object, rises from the table,

and is thrown toward the operator. Kickbacks are usually

caused by one or more of the following conditions

1. Failure to determine that the saw blade is parallel to the

rip fence.

2. Confining the cut-off piece when ripping.

3. Failure to use the spreader when ripping, or failure to

maintain the spreader in alignment with the saw blade.

4. Ripping wood that has a twisted grain, does not have a

straight edge to guide along the fence, or wood that is

twisted or not flat (which may rock on the table and

pinch the blade).

5. Improperly conditioned (dull) saw that permits the

material to pinch on the out-feed edge of the saw and

rise from the table.

6. R_pping by applying the feed force to the section of the

workpiece that will become the cut-off (free) piece

(feed force when ripping should always be applied

between the saw blade and the fence . . use a push

st_ck for narrow or short work).

7. Releasing workpiece before operation is complete ...

not pushing the workpiece all the way past the saw

blade.

8. Failure to adjust the nose of the guard to just clear the

workpiece.

KICKBACKS -- COMMON WAYS THEY CAN BE

AVOIDED OR INJURY FROM THEM PREVENTED OR

MINIMIZED

1. Avoiding any of the causes noted above.

2. Keeping your face and body - and observers - always

out of line of possible kickbacks.

3. Always wear safety goggles.

4. Making sure (by trial) before starting the cut that the

anti-kickback pawls will stop kickback once it has

started.

5. Whenever possible, perform rip, bevel rip, and plough

cuts with the saw in the in-rip position. Refer to "6"

under "Kickbacks - ... Happen" and "6" under

"Operational Instructions."

6. Keeping points of anti-kickback pawls SHARP!

7. Positioning nose of guard to .just clear work and

positioning anti-kickback pawls properly.

8. Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may

be cut on your saw. However, since these are usually

quite hard and slippery, the anti-kickback pawls may

not stop a kickback.

Therefore, be especially attentive to following proper

set-up and cutting procedures for ripping these

materials. Do not stand, or permit anyone else to stand,

in line with a potential kickback.

PERSONAL CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT

1. Do not wear gloves while operating the saw. Loose

flowing garments, jewehv (rings, wrist watches, etc.)

and neckties must never be worn. Long sleeves must be

rolled to above the elbows.

2. Always wear safety goggles, (complying with ANS

Z87.1-1968) to protect the eyes. In addition, wear a

face shield if the operation is dusty, and ear protectors

(plugs or muffs) dunng extended periods of operation.

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before starting work, verify that no play exists in the

carriage, and that arm, yoke, and bevel locks/clamps are

tight.

2. Never place your fingers or hands in the path of the saw

blade.

3. Use only accessories that are designed for this machine.

4, A large proportion of saw accidents is caused by dull,

badly set, improperly filed cutting tools, by gum or

resin adhering to cutting tools, and by saw blade

misahgnment (out-of-parallel) with the fence. Such

conditions cause the material to st_ck, jam, stall the

saw, or kickback at the operator. NEVER ATTEMPT

TO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE WITHOUT

FIRST TURNING THE SAW "OFF". Avoid potential

injury by proper cutting tool and machine maintenance.

3

CAUTION: DO NOT cycle the motor switch ON and

OFF rapidly, as this might cause the saw blade to

loosen. In the event this should ever occur, allow the

saw blade to come to a complete stop and re-tighten the

arbor nut normally, not excessively.

additional safety instructions for radial saws

6. Prowde proper support for the workptece, based on its

slzf and the type of operation to be performed. Hold

the work brmly against tile fence. When ripping short

wo_kpieces (under 12-_nches long) or narrow pieces

(under 64nches wide}, use a push stick applied to the

section of the workp_ece between the blade and the

fence.

7. Never use a length stop on the free end or edge of the

workpiece whether crosscutting or ripping. Never hang

onto or touch the free end of workpiece, or a free piece

that is cut off, while power _s "'ON'" and/or the saw

blade is rotating. In short, to guard against kickbacks or

other potential accidents, the cut-off piece in any

thru-sawmg operation must never be confined - It must

be allowed to move laterally.

8. Do not leave a long board unsupported so the spring of

tht. board causes it to shift on the table. A support

sh(luld be used to catch the end of the board you are

cutting.

9. Whenever you have a choice, use the "IN-RIP" (instead

of "OUT-RIP") setup. This provides more space on the

fence side of the blade in which to use a push stick.

10. Make sure your fingers do not contact the terminals of

power or motor plugs when installing or removing the

plug to or from a live power source.

11. Never climb on or- near the saw when power is on

Never leave the saw with power on, or before the

cutting tool has come to a complete stop. Lock the

motor switch and put away the key when leaving the

saw.

12. Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden shp

could cause a hand to move into a sawblade or other

cutting tool. Never reach in back of or around the

cutting tool with either hand to hold down the

w_)rk piece.

CAUTION: Never reposition the Guard or

anti-kickback/spreader with power ON.

13. Always posihon the GUARD and the anti-Mckhack and

spreader assembly for rtp type operations. Also make

sure the cutting tool, arbor collars and arbor nuts are

installed properly. Keep guard in place.

14. When performing crosscut type operations, be sure the

Guard is clamped solidly in the horizontal position, and

tt'_ anti-kickback assembly is adjusted so the pawls just

cl,ar the workpiece. Tighten securely. ThDs provides

additional guarding.

15. Never operate this saw when equipped with a molding

h,-ad unless the proper molding head guard _s tnstalled

- see listing of recommended accessories. The only

excephon _s when "'top-s_de'" molding when the

sawblade guard must be used. See detailed instructions

that accompany the molding head and molding head

guard.

16. Dr) not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for

arl operating speed lower than 3450 RPM. Never use a

cutting tool larger _n d_ameter than the diameter for

which the saw was designed For greatest safety and

efftc]ency when ripping, use the maximum d_ameter

blade for which the saw _s designed, since under these

c,Jnd_t_ons the spreader is nearest the blade.

17. ]he use of abraswe or cut-off wheels, or w_re wheels

can be dangerous and _s not recommended. (Abraswe or

cJt-off wheels are used to saw marly different materials

m.;lud_ng metals, stone, and glass.)

18 [_., not postt{on the arm so the operation you are

performing permits the cutting tool to extend beyond

the edges of the table.

19. Never- turn your radial arm saw "ON" before clearing

the table or work surface of all objects (tools, scraps of

wood, etc.) except the workplece and related feed or

support devices for the operation planned.

20

21.

22.

23.

24.

25.

Objects can be thrown upward toward the operator by

the back of the blade if proper operating procedures are

not followed during cross-cut type operations. Th_s

usually occurs when a small loose piece of wood or

other objects contacts the rear of the revolwng blade

and ricochets off the fence or the wall behind the saw

toward the operator. It can be avoided by removing all

loose pieces from the table immeidately after they are

made, using a long st_ck, and keeping the guard _n place

at all times.

DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work on

the table while the cutting tool ir rotating.

Never perform any operahon "free hand". Th_s term

means feeding the carriage into the workpiece or

feeding the workpiece into the saw blade or other

cutting tool without using the fence or some other

device which prevents rotation or twisting of the

workpiece during the operation. Never "'rip" (cut with

the grain) narrow or long workpieces m the crosscut

pos_t_on. Never make a miter cut with the arm in the

90 ° crosscut position.

"ALWAYS return the carriage to the full rearward

posit_on at conclusion of each crosscut type cut. Never

remove your hand from the bevel index handle unless

the carriage is m this positron. Otherwise the cutting

tool may climb up on the workpiece and be propelled

toward you."

"Never lower a revolving cutting tool into the table or a

workplece without first locking the Carriage Lock

Knob. Release the knob only after grasping the Bevel

Index Handle. Otherwise the cutting tool may grab the

workplece and be propelled toward you."

1. Unpacking and Checking Contents.

aBefore proceeding with the assembly of your new

Craftsman 10-inch Radial Saw, you should read

these instructions and follow them carefully.

b This saw is shipped complete in one carton.

However, in order to prevent damage during

shipment and facilitate packaging, certain items are

removed at the factory and must be reassembled

when the saw is received by the purchaser. These

"loose parts" are shown in the following "Table of

Loose Parts".

c. Separate all "loose" parts from packing materials

and check each item with "Table of Loose Parts",

making sure all items are accounted for before

discarding any packing material. The four carriage

bolts, nuts, flat washers and lock washers, used to

secure the saw base to shipping boards may be

retained for mounting the saw.

2.

If any parts are missing, do not attempt to assemble

the Radial Saw, plug in the power cord or turn the

switch "on" until the missing parts are obtained and

are installed correctly.

Mounting the Saw.

a. After removing the two shipping boards place the

saw assembly upright on a suitable sturdy work

bench, or Craftsman Power Tool Bench.

b. The base of the saw must be mounted flush to a flat

surface on the bench to prevent distortion of the

saw base. The nuts, screws and washers which attach

the wooden shipping skids to the saw base may be

used to secure the saw base to the work bench (or

tool bench).

C. Posttion the work bench or tool bench with the

front edge slightly higher than the rear - enough to

prevent the carriage from creeping forward with the

motor running and carriage lock knob loose. This

should be checked after the saw has been set up and

is ready to be operated.

will raise or lower the radial arm 1/8 inch.

"Angle of Cut". Two levers are involved in releasing,

securing and indexing the angle of radial arm. These are:

arm lock handle (4) and arm latch handle (5). The arm

is unlocked by loosening the arm lock handle and

pushing the arm latch handle out of the detent notch. It

is locked by tightening the arm lock handle. The radial

arm has positive index stops at 0 ° and 45 ° ,left and

right, and is released from these index positions by

pushing the arm latch handle. In order to provide the

most positive and accurate settings at the index

positions, the following is recommended:

Move the radial arm into the index position (do not

GUARD CLEAbkNCE

The blade guard is positioned by Ioosemng the guard

cleats the workpiece as shown.

This is necessary:

- to protect operator from accidentally contacting the

sawblade radially from the Infeed direction.

-to hold down the workpiece against the table --

minimizing lifting or fluttering {particularly thin

and/or light workpieces)"

-to minimize the sawdust thrown toward the

operator.

-to minimize the possibility of a thin pusher board

riding up on top of the workpiece with loss of

control of workpiece.

2. The antikickback and spreader assembly is used during

ripping operations and is adjustable to accommodate

the thickness of the board being ripped. A wing screw

in the guard secures the assembly.

These adjustments are necessary

feeding the workp_ece -- when sawblade is in a rip

posit_on - into the outfeed side of the cutting tool

(sawblade, dado, molding head, etc.), the side

containing the antiMckbacklspreader. This can be

extremely hazardous because the sawblade may grab

the workpiece and throw it violently toward the nose

of the guard (mfeed side of the tool). Danger label on

guard.

"Wrong-way feed" occurs when the teeth themselves

cut, or attempt to cut, a kerf in the workpiece. This

differs from a "kickback" which is generated by the

sides (one or both) of the teeth, because of binding

between the fence (heel), pinching of the sides of the

sawblade (failure to use spreader), and/or inadequate

set of teeth of sawblade.

basic saw operations

BASIC SAW OPERATIONS

Your Craftsman 10-inch Radial Saw is capable of

performing innumerable cuts with sufficient accuracy to

satisfy discriminating wood-working requirements. Basic

saw operations are summarized into six categories,

explained and illustrated in the following paragraphs. A

manual entitled "The Radial Saw" is available at your

nearest Sears Retail Store or Catalog Order House and

contains considerable data and project ideas applicable to

the radical saw. Be sure to read and follow, "Safety Rules'"

and "Instructions to the Operator", included in this

manual.

NOTE: Refer to paragraphs under "OPERATING

CONTROLS" for illustrations and descriptions of these

controls.

REQUIREMENTS FOR CROSSCUT

1. B_ sure you return the carriage to the full rearward

position at the conclusion of each cut. Never remove

your hand from the bevel index handle unless the

carriage is in this position. Allow the saw blade to come

to a complete stop before removing the workpiece from

the saw table.

2. The arbor nut must be tight and saw blade guard

installed in a horizontal position with anti-kickback

device in full up position.

3. The arm lock handle (4) must be tight.

4. Work must be always hel:l firmly against table and

fence. For workpieces thlck_,r than the fence is high, it

is recommended that a higher fence be cut (at least

workpiece thickness) 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

re;racted, the t)lade should not contact the workpiece

when placed against the fence, within the stated

capacities of your saw.

Blade should be sharp and correctly set.

Hands must be kept well away from the saw blade.

The yoke clamp handle must be in locked position.

The bevel lock knob must be tight.

For operations No. 3 and No. 4, observe additional

instructions under paragraph, "Operating Controls",

"Blade Angle".

PRELIMINARY CROSSCUT

AT THE 0° POSITION

1. Loosen the carnage lock knob and move the carnage to

position the saw blade just forward of the rip fence.

2. Lower the radial arm until the saw blade just clears the

table top.

15

basic saw operations

3. Tighten the carnage lock knob.

CAUTION: Before making the cut, make sure the arm

latch handle is fully engaged in the detent notch.

4. Plug in the power cord (if not already connected.)

5. Insert the safety lock key and pull the switch lever to

"ON" position.

6. Lower the radial arm, by rotating the elevation crank,

untd the saw blade cuts into the table top surface to a

depth of approximately 1/32 inch.

NOTE: Some owners prefer to cover the saw table with

thin plywood, tacking it outside of saw travel area in

order to protect the table surface.

7. Operate the saw in the same manner as shown and

complete the blade clearance groove in the table rip

fence as follows:

a.

b.

Loosen the carriage lock knob and slowly pull the

carriage out to the extreme end of its travel.

Push the carriage slowly rearward to the extreme

end of the travel. This stroke will cut through the

rip fence.

c. Push the switch to "OFF" position.

OPERATION NO. 1 -CROSSCUT

Crosscutting is the process of sawing the workpiece by

pulling the saw blade through it and using the fence as a

support for the edge of the workpiece. Never crosscut

freehand.

WARNING: BEFORE CROSSCUTTING, MAKE SURE

THE ARM LATCH, BEVEL LOCK AND YOKE CLAMP

ARE ALL SECURED. NEVER USE A LENGTH STOP OR

A FIXED GUIDE ON THE FREE END OR EDGE OF A

WORKPIECE. (SEE INSTRUCTION 15 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

OPERATOR SHOULD DEVELOP THE HABIT OF

HOLDING HIS RIGHT ARM STRAIGHT FROM THE

SHOULDER TO THE WRIST.

OPERATION NO. 2 - MITER CROSSCUT

Mtter crosscuttmg is the process of sawing a board at any

angle other than a 90 ° (square) cut. The 45 ° miter angle is

a popular angle, 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, the bevel setting is indexed at 0°; the yoke is

indexed to posttion the saw blade parallel with radial arm,

and all settings locked. The board being cut is held firmly

against the fence and the carriage pulled forward along the

radial arm to perform the desired cut. 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 is indexed at 0°;

the yoke =s indexed to position the saw blade parallel with

the ra(hal arm, but the bevel is set to the des=red angle of

cut All settings must be locked. The board is held firmly

against the fence and the carriage pulled forward along the

radial drm to produce the cut Tile carnage should be

returned to full rearward posmon and the saw blade

allowed to come to a complete stop before removing the

boards from saw table.

16

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 to position saw blade

parallel to the radial arm. All settings must be 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

stop before removing boards from saw table.

REQUIREMENTS WHEN RIPPING

(Operations 5 and 6)

1. Carriage lock knob must be tight.

2. Radial arm must be locked in 0 ° position.

3. Work must be held firmly against the table and fence

while feeding through.

4. The guard and anti-kickback mechanism must be

properly set. Observe instructions in paragraph

"Adjusting Guard and Anti-Kickback Rod for Ripping".

5. The blade should be sharp and correctly set.

6. Hands must be kept well away from saw blade.

7. When ripping narrow or short stock, always use a

pushboard.

1.

OPERATION NO. 5 -

OUT-RIPPING AND IN-RIPPING

R_pping is the process of sawing the workpiece 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.

WARNING: NEVER RIP FREE-HAND. BEFORE

RIPPING, MAKE SURE THE GUARD AND

ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS ARE SET UP PROPERLY.

ALSO, MAKE SURE THE SAW BLADE IS

PARALLEL WITH THE FENCE. NEVER RIP

WORKPIECES SHORTER THAN THE SAW BLADE

DIAMETER.

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 w_th 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

anti-kickback rod is correctly set. Wood cut with the

grain tends to spring the kerf closed and bind the blade,

a_ld a kickback could occur.

4.

5.

Stand a little to one side of center to avoid being

sprayed w_th sawdust and to be clear of work in case of

kickback.

When ripping short or narrow work, always use a push

stick applied to the sectton of the workpiece between

the blade and fence . .. push the work past the blade so

n _s clear of the blade. This procedure will minimize the

p:_ssrbility of kickbacks.

In-Ripping. The radial arm and bevel are indexed at 0 °

and locked. The yoke is rotated 90-degrees in a

clockwise directton (viewed from above) from the

crosscut position and locked. 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 as shown.

Out-Ripping. The bevel is indexed and locked at 0 °.

The yoke is turned 90-degrees in a counterclockwise

d_rection (viewed from above), from the crosscut

position. When you are standing in front of the saw, the

blade wtll rotate clockwise. Before positioning the guard

and ant_-kickback rod, lower the blade to just cut into

tile table. After positioning the guard and anti-kickback

rod, the workpiece is fed from the rear (left-hand) s_de

of the guard as shown.

17

basic saw operations

OPERATION NO. 6- BEVEL RIPPING

Bevel ripping Is either in-ripping or out-ripping as described

in preceding instructions, except the saw blade is tilted out

of perpendicular to the saw table surface. The illustration

shows a typical bevel out-ripping operation. The radial arm

is indexed at 0°; the bevel is set to the desired bevel angle

and the yoke is positioned for out-ripping (saw blade at

front) or in-ripping (saw blade at rear), as required. All

settings must be locked. Requirements and observations

applicable to normal ripping operations also apply to bevel

ripping.

GROUNDING PRONG

This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and

grounding type plug which has a grounding prong, approved

by Underwriters' Laboratories and the Canadian Standards

Association. The ground conductor has a green jacket and is

attached to the tool housing at one end and to the ground

prong in the attachment plug at the other end.

This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type

outlet as shown.

If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool is

of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR ALTER

THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY MANNER. Use an

adapter as shown and always connect the grounding lug to

known ground.

It is recommended that you have a qualified electrictan

replace the TWO prong outlet w_th a properly grounded

THREE prong outlet.

18

An adapter as shown below is available for connecting plugs

to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lug extending

from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground

such as to a properly grounded outlet box.

Adapter is not allowed in Canada by the Canadian

Electrical Code.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

NOTE: This motor should be blown out, or "vacuumed",

frequently to prevent sawdust interference with normal

motor ventilation.

Your saw motor is equipped with a manual-reset,

thermal-overload protector designed to open the power-line

circait when the motor temperature exceeds a safe value.

2.

3.

4.

After cooling to a safe operating tenure, thje

overload protector can be closed manually by pu's'hingT-n

the red button on the top of the motor. If the red

button will not snap into place immediately, the motor

is still too hot and must be allowed to cool for a while

longer. (An audible click will indicate protector is

closed.) In some cases this could take 20 to 30 minutes.

As soon as the red button will snap into running

position, the saw may be started and operated normally,

by pulling out the saw switch to the "'ON" position. ,

Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result

if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused

differently from recommendations. Overloading can

occur if you feed too rapidly or if your saw is

misaligned so that the blade heels. Do not use a fuse of

greater capacity without consulting a qualified

electrician.

5. Although the motor is designed for operation on the

voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,

normal loads will be handled safely on voltages 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.

6. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect

connections, overloading, reduced input voltage (such as

small size wires in the supply circuit) or to an

overly-long supply circuit. Always check the

connections, the load and the supply circuit, whenever

the motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire

sizes and lengths with the table following.

OVERLOAD PROTECTO_

LRED)

1. If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor,

.mmedlately press the saw switch to the "OFF"

position, and allow the motor to cool.

WIRE SIZES

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 wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.

Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3 prong

grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept

the tools plug.

Extension Cord Length Wire Size A.W.G.

Up to 100Ft ................ 12

100-200 Ft ................ 8

200-400 Ft ................ 6

For circuits of greater length the wire size must be

increased proportionally in order to deliver ample voltage

to the saw motor.

trouble-shooting

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Even though the finest materials and precision

workmanship have been incorporated into your Craftsman

saw, it is reasonable to expect some wear after long periods

of use. Adjustment facilities have been built into the saw to

compensate for this wear. Looseness due to wear, rough

handling, or improper adjustments will usually be indicated

by reduced accuracy, or the inability of the saw to perform

as intended, The usual operating "troubles" are listed in the

following paragraphs with necessary corrections described

and illustrated.

1. Looseness of Column Tube in Column Support.

When this condition exists radial arm will have side

play, and square crosscuts are likely to be difficult to

make and repeated cuts inaccurate. Check and adjust as

follows:

Eliminating Radial Arm Side Play.

(1) Move the radial arm to the center (crosscut)

position and engage the arm latch handle in the

detent notch. Tighten the arm lock handle.

(2) Apply side force with one hand on radial arm in

both directions. If side play can be felt, an

adjustment is required.

(3) Loosen keylocking bolts and insert a screwdriver

into the set screw that adjusts the column tube

wedge key. Rotate the set screw slowly in

(clockwise) until no side play can be felt in

radial arm, when checked as in the preceding

step.

(4)

a,

Check for binding by rotating the elevation

crank. If the crank rotates with noticeable

resistance, loosen the set screw by rotating the

screwdriver counterclockwise until rotation is

normal. An effective method for finalizing the

set screw adjustment is to rotate the screw while

the elevation crank is being rotated, checking for

side play in radial arm as the adjustment

progresses. The adjustment is correct when all

side play of radial arm is eliminated and only

very slight additional resistance can be felt when

rotating the elevation crank.

(5) If some radial arm side play can still be detected

after performing the above adjustment, it will be

necessary to adjust the forward five column

adjusting screws that pass through the flanges on

the right- and left-hand column supports as

follows:

(a) While rotating the elevation crank, tighten

the five column adjusting screws slightly at

the forward edge of column supports. Each

screw should be tightened only slightly, and

each one the same amount, until a slight

resistance can be felt when rotating the

elevation crank, then each screw backed off

just enough to restore a normal feel to the

elevation crank.

(b) Recheck the adjustment of the column tube,

wedge-key set screw as outlined in preceding

instructions.

ELEVATION CRANK

<_-RE V ITYPICAL) _ ___._

(6) After the above adjustments have been

completed, re-check the radial arm for absence

of side play and lock the column tube key in

place by tightening the two keylocking bolts.

2. Blade Does Not Make Square Cuts and Accurate

Repeat Cuts Cannot Be Made.

If this condition exists the trouble might be due to one,

or a combination of, the following conditions.

a. Looseness between column tube and column

support.

Adjust as described in the preceding paragraph 1, a.

b. Crosscut travel not properly adjusted.

Refer to paragraph "Squaring the Crosscut Travel",

under "Alignment Instructions". If crosscut travel

cannot be adjusted as described, refer to paragraph

h, following.

c. Table Supports not properly adjusted.

Correct adjustment of table supports can be checked

with satisfactory accuracy without removing the

table boards, by checking at various positions on the

top surface of the table. Use the same procedure

described in paragraph "Adjusting Table Supports

Parallel to Radial Arm", under "Alignment

Instructions".

d. Saw blade not square with table.

Adjust as described in paragraph i, following.

e. Carriage bearings loose on tracks.

Adjust carriage bearings as described in paragraph 3,

f, following.

f. Yoke does not index properly.

Check for proper yoke indexing, noting that the

swivel latch pin fits into its detent properly. If the

swivel latch pin spring is weak or damaged, replace

it.

g. Yoke clamp arm does not tighten the yoke when in

full locking position.

Refer to paragraph "Yoke Clamp Arm Adjustment",

paragraph j, following.

20

h. Adjustingthearmlatchhandleto correctcrosscut

travel.

In some remote cases, due to rough handling, etc.,

the crosscut travel cannot be squared by the usual

method. (Refer to "Squaring the Crosscut Travel",

under "Alignment Instructions".) If this condition is

encountered, it will be necessary to adjust the arm

latch handle as follows:

(1) Using a screwdriver, loosen the two set screws

that lock the arm latch screws.

(7)

(8)

Place the long leg of a framing square against

fence and a tooth "A".

Move the saw blade forward along the square to

determine in which direction the radial arm must

be adjusted.

If the saw blade moves away from the square as

it comes forward, loosen the front arm latch

screw with a screwdriver and tighten the rear

arm latch screw. Recheck blade travel and repeat

if necessary.

If the saw blade moves toward the square as it

comes forward, loosen the rear arm latch screw

and tighten the front arm latch screw. Recheck

blade travel and repeat if necessary.

When the adjustment is correct, both arm latch

screws should be snug against the arm latch

handle but not tight enough to bind the handle.

Tighten the set screws to secure the arm latch

screws.

Adjust the indicator scale as described in

paragraph, "Squaring the Crosscut Travel",

under "Alignment Instructions".

(9) After these adjustments have been completed,

the 45 ° index positions (right and left) of radial

arm will be correct.

NOTE: The preceding procedure is also used to

adjust the arm latch handle due to looseness

resulting from wear.

Squaring the Saw Blade to the Table Top.

(1) Place the edge of a framing square on the table

top and against the saw blade.

(2) When the saw blade is square to the table top,

the leg of the square will touch the blade at both

positions indicated by arrows. If the square does

not touch the blade of both positions, perform

the following operations:

(a) Loosen the bevel lock knob just slightly and,

with a 1/2" wrench, loosen the two hex head

screws that secure the handle to the yoke. A

screw is located at each side of the bevel

index knob.

trouble-shooting

(b) While holding the motor with one hand and

the square with the other hand, tilt the

motor until saw blade is square with table

top. Then, while holding the square firmly

against the saw blade and table top, tighten

the bevel lock knob firmly to hold the blade

in position.

(c) Move the handle slightly toward left or right

until the bevel index pin (knob) is properly

seated. Push firmly against the bevel index

knob (keeping the pin seated) and tighten

the two hex-head screws. The bevel index pin

should slide freely in the handle.

NOTE: It may be necessary to perform more than

one trial operation before the saw blade remains

perfectly square with table top after tightening the

two hex-head screws.

BEVEL INDEX

KNOB

(d) The bevel index indicator (pointer) should

read 0 ° on the bevel scale. If not, loosen the

indicator attaching screws, adjust indicator

to zero and tighten the screw securely.

j. Yoke clamp arm adjustment.

The normal locking position of the yoke clamp arm

ts parallel with the radial arm. An adjustment will

seldom be necessary; however, it may be

accomplished as follows:

(1) Loosen the carriage lock knob, move the carriage

out to the forward end of radial arm and tighten

carriage lock knob.

t2)

(3)

_4)

Locate the index plate locking screw at the rear

of the yoke assembly.

Turn the locking screw outward at least 1/4 inch

from the tight position. This frees the index

plate which is keyed to the yoke clamp stud,

thus permitting the stud to be rotated when the

yoke clamp arm is loosened.

Loosen the yoke clamp arm, and wtth

screwdriver or arbor wrench, rotate the yoke

clamp stud a small fraction of a turn (clockwise

when viewed from bottom), then tighten the

yoke clamp arm.

(5) If the yoke clamp arm sttll does not line up

parallel to the radtal arm when in locked

position, repeat the above operation.

,_ RADI,&L ARA._

,©I<E CLAMP STLID

(6) Rotate the locking screw back into position to

secure the adjustment by preventing subsequent

movement of the mdex plate.

NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen the yoke clamp

arm so that end of locking screw can enter a notch of

the index plate. This would alter the arm adjustment

slightly but not enough to be of any consequence.

3. Blade Heels to the Right or Left.

"Heeling" is a term used to describe a condition where

the saw blade is not aligned with the direction in which

it is forced to travel. This diagram shows the saw blade

"heeling" to the right. Results of "heeling", even to a

minor degree, can be detected by the tooth marks left

on the edge of the saw kerf (cut edge) of the board.

When using a hollow ground blade, even a small degree

of "heel" will cause the wood to smoke as a result of

the frictional heat produced. The various effects of

"heel" are as follows:

a. Crosscutting

(1) Heeling to the right will tend to slide the

workpiece toward the right along the rip fence,

as the cut is being made, and make a square cut

almost impossible.

(2) Heeling to the left will tend to slide the board to

the left along the fence.

b. Miter Cutting

Same as crosscutting, except to a lesser or greater

degree, depending upon the angle of the cut.

c. In-Ripping

(1) Heeling to the right will force the workpiece

against the rip fence.

(2) Heeling to the left will force the workpiece away

from the fence.

d. Out-Ripping

The exact reverse of in-ripping.

e. Checking the Saw Blade for Heel (Left and Right)

(1) Place a square against the rip fence and the saw

blade. The long leg of the square must be held

firmly against the rip fence and the short leg

must not touch any "set out" teeth on the saw

blade.

(2) If the square does not touch the blade at the two

points shown by arrows, one of two types of

heel exists. The two types of heel are illustrated

in views"A" and "B". To correct for either type

of heel condition, proceed as follows-

f. Adjusting to Eliminate Heel

(1) Remove the left-hand carriage cover by removing

the two attaching screws.

(2) Loosen the yoke clamp handle.

(3) Loosen (slightly) the two hex-head screws at

location shown.

(4) With the square in positron, shift the yoke until

the gap between the saw blade and square is

elimmated.

(5) Tighten the yoke clamp handle. Then tighten the

two hex-head screws.

(6) Recheck for heel to make sure that tightening

the hex-head screws did not affect the setting.

Several trial settings may be required.

(7) Re-install the left-hand carriage cover.

g- Carriage Bearing Adjustment

To test for looseness in the carriage, firmly grasp the

carriage across the two carriage covers and apply a

firm rocking motion. Noticeable looseness may be

adjusted as follows:

(1) Remove the left-hand carriage cover by removing

two attaching screws.

12) Working on one bearing at a time, loosen the nut

on the eccentric screw just enough to permit the

screw to turn.

13) Rotate the eccentric screw a partial turn (left or

right) as required to take up all looseness.

14) While holding the head of eccentric screw,

tighten the nut. Correct adjustment exists when

there _s no "play" between the carriage and

radial arm, and yet the carriage moves freely.

t5) Adjust the other carriage bearing in the same

manner.

16) Install the left-hand carriage cover with two

screws.

LUBRICATION

This Craftsman saw is precision built and should be kept'

clean and properly lubricated. Certain parts- require -"

occasional lubrication; however, it is just as amportant that

certain parts are not lubricated.

1. Do Not Lubricate the Following:

a. Ball races or ball bearings.

b. Motor bearings. These are sealed ball bearings and

require no added lubrication.

2. Lubricate the Following Points Periodically.

a. Use SAE No. 10W-30 automottve engme oil and

refer to exploded views in the Parts List for

locations described below:

b. Always wipe the area clean with a shop towel or

clean cloth prior to applying the lubricant.

c. Apply lubricant as follows:

(1) Remove the left-hand carriage cover and apply a

few drops of oil along the swivel index pin (only

if the pin has a tendency to stick). Use the oil

sparingly to prevent it from getting on ball

bearings or races.

(2) A light film of oil should be wiped on the face of

the column tube and keyway (as needed) to

lubricate the fit between this part and the key

and column support.

(3) An oil hole is provided in the top of elevation

crank to facilitate lubrication of the elevation

shaft and radial arm cap bearing surface. Apply a

few drops of oil occasionally.

(4) The threads on elevation shaft are lubricated by

removing the elevation crank and radial arm cap.

Oil when binding or rough operation occurs.

Make sure the teeth of the ANTI KICKBACK pawls are

always sharp. Replace if not sharp.
