3. Installing the Front Table (Figures 11 through 15)
P_ace the front table (largest) board upside down on
a workbench or the floor. It is upside down when the
face in which the screw holes are counterbored is at
bottom. Note that there are two holes near the
center of the board, one smaller in diameter than the
other. Drive the T-nut (furnished with loose parts)
into the smaller of these two center holes.
Turn the front table top side up and place it on the
table supports, locating it so that the six screw holes
near the board sides are aligned with their corre-
sponding holes in the two supports.
C. In each of the six boles located above the table
supports, place one 17/64-inch flat washer and one
1i4-20xl-inch pan-head machine screw. In the larger
of the two center holes place one 17!64-inch flat
washer and one 1/4-20xl 1!4-inch pan-head machine
screw - and start the screw into the U-nut on the
front of the saw base (but do not tighten it). In the
smaller center hole {with the T-nut underneath),
barely start the cup-point set-screw.
Install one 1!4-inch Iockwasher and one 1/4 20 hex
nut on each of the six screws in the table supports,
and tighten slightly. The board should be snug
against the supports, but not held too tightly to be
moved by tapping it firmly with a rubber mallet.

touch the long leg of the square at all points. If it
does not, make the following adjustments:
(1) If your marked tooth moves into the square as
the carriage is moved outward, tap the left-front
edge of the table with a rubber mallet until you
can perform step "g" correctly.
(2) If the tooth movesawav from the square, tap the
right-front table edge to make the correction
(3) Recheck until you can perform step "'g" correct-
ly, then securely tighten all six of the front table
hold-down screws. Also refer to page 20, steps
'q" and "j" of Trouble Shooting Section.
h. Loosen the two miter-scale attaching screws and
rotate the scale to align its 0 ° mark with the
miter-scale indicator. Tighten the screws.
NOTE: This squaring of the crosscut travel will
simultaneously set both of the 45 ° index
positions of the radial arm.
5. Installing the Remaining Table Boards (Figure 24)
a. Position the rip fence, spacer board and rear table
board behind the front table board, as shown.
b. Install the two table clamps in the slots provided for
them at the rear of the saw base, and tighten them
securely.
NOTE: The life of your saw table will be
lengthened considerably if you will cover the

1, Changing Motor Connections
a. Unde_ normal home workshop usage, and if proper
(full voltage is supplied to the motor, your saw will
operate efficiently on 120V, as connected at the
factory. However, if any of the following conditions
exists, it wi!l be advisable for you to reconnect the
motor for 24OV operation - to obtain the efficiency
and I)erformance for which your saw is designed:
(1) Continuous heavy-duty operations.

(2) Either an undersized or an overloaded branch
circuit serving the saw motor.
(3) Low voltage supplied by the power source,
which the power company cannot correct.
Motor wiring connections for 120V (as made at the
factory) are described below. Necessary reconnec-
tions for 240V operation are also described follow-
ing. Whenever changing connections from 120V to
240V or vice-versa, make certain that a!l necessary
steps (including proper fusing of the branch circuit)
are completed.
2. Connections for 120V A.C. (Figure 31)
a. Remove nameplate cover from motor to expose
terminal board.
b. The wires inside of the motor must be connected as
follows:
(1) The orange-colored wire on number 6 terminal.
(2) The brown-colored wire on number 5 terminal.
c. Use the 120V power-cord plug furnished with your
saw.

3. Connections for 240V A.C. (Figure 32)
a. The wires inside the motor terminal box must be
connected as fo!lows:
(1) The orange-colored wire on number 8terminal.
(21 The brown-colored wire on number 7 terminal.
b. Replace the 120V power-cord plug with a(3-blade)
240V plug, connecting the power-cord white and
black leads, respectively, to the two "hot" plug
blades - and connecting the power-cord grounding
wire to the third (neutral) plug blade.
c. Plug your saw into a 240V, 3-blade receptacle.
d. Make certain the receptacle is connected to a 240V
A-C power supply through a 240V branch circuit
having at least a 15-amp. capacity, and protected by
a 15 amp. time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
Figure 32
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
different!y from recommended. Overloading can occur if
you feed too rapidly or if your saw is misaligned so that
the blade heels. Do not use afuse of greater capacity
without consulting the power company.
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.
Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect
connections, overloading, reduced input voltage Isuch as
small size wires in the supply circuit) or to an
overlylong supply circuit. Always check the connec-
tions, the load and the supply circuit, whenever the
motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes
and lengths with the table following.

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 circuit
when the motor temperature exceeds a safe value (figure
33).
1. If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor,
immediately press the saw switch to the "OFF" posi-
tion, and allow the motor to cool.
2. After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the
overload protector can be closed manually by pushing in
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.)

A series of six diagrams is located on the top surface of the
radial arm. These designate the controls that must be used
in basic set-ups and operating procedures. You should
become familiar with these diagrams and the operating
instructions that follow, before operating your saw.
1. Depth of Cut
a. The diagram shows the elevation crank (10, figure
34), which is used to raise and lower the saw blade.
b. Clockwise rotation raises the blade.., counter-
clockwise rotation lowers it. One complete turn of
the handle will raise or lower the saw blade 1/8-inch.
2. Angle of Cut
CAUTION: WHEN MOVING THE RADIAL ARM IN
ANY DIRECTION BEYOND 45 ° (LEFT OR RIGHT_,
ALWAYS PULL OUT THE ARM-LATCH LEVER (1,
FIGURE 34). OR LOOSEN THE LEVER BY RO-
TATING THE ARM-LATCH HANDLE (18}
COUNTERCLOCKWISE UNTIL IT STOPS, TO PRE-
VENT DAMAGING THE ARM-LOCK PIN, DAMAGE
OF THIS NATURE WOULD PREVENT PROPER IN-
DEXING OF THE RADIAL ARM AT THE 0 ° AND
45 ° POSITIONS (LEFT OR RIGHT}.
a. Two controls are involved in releasing, securing and
indexing the angle of the radial arm. These are: the
arm-latch handle (18, figure 34), and the arm-latch
lever (1).
WARNING: THE SAW SHOULD NEVER BE
OPERATED WITH THE SAW BLADE OUT-
SIDE OF THE TABLE AREA, EVEN
THOUGH THE RADIAL ARM CAN BE RO-
TATED A FULL 360 ° AND LOCKED IN ANY
POSITION.
b. The arm is unlocked from any position by a slight
counterclockwise rotation of the armlatch handle
and is locked in any desired miter position by
rotating the arm-latch handle clockwise until tight.
O O
The radial arm has positive stops at 0 and 45 left
and right, and is released from these index positions
by unlocking the arm-latch handle 1/4 turn, and
pulling out the arm-latch lever.
For the most positive and accurate settings at the
index positions, the following is recommended:
13
operating controls
(1) If the radial arm is already indexed, rotate the
arm-latch handle ( 18, figure 34) 1!4turn counter-
clockwise from the locked position, pull out the
arm-latch lever, and move the radial arm off the
index position_ Release the arm-latch lever.
(2) Move the radial arm into the desired index
position (do not bump or jar it) and push on the
arm-latch lever solidly with the palm of your
hand (figure 34 inset). This is very important as
it ensures proper seating of the arm lock pin in
the arm latch, thus always setting the arm at the
correct position.
(3) Lock the radial arm by rotating the arm-latch
handle clockwise until tight.
3. Yoke Pivot
a. Two controls are used in this operation. They ate:
the swivel latch-pin knob (2, figure 34) and the yoke
clamp handle (6, figure 34).
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.
e. The yoke clamp handle locks the yoke to the carriage
in any position. Pull the handle forward to release
the yoke; push the handle rearward to secure the
yoke.
4. Carriage Lock
a. The carriage lock knob (5, figure 34) is rotated
clockwise to secure the carriage on the radial arm,
and counterclockwise to release it.
b. When performing a square or miter-angle crosscut,
the carriage lock knob must be rotated counterclock-
wise until the carriage is free to travel along the arm.
This knob should be tightened except when the
operator is ready to grasp the bevel index handle (14,
figure 34) and rnake a cut.
5. Blade Angle
a. The two controls used in angular positioning and
indexing of the motor, to provide the desired
saw blade (bevel) angle, are: the bevel lock knob (t 1,
figL_re 34) and the latch pin handle (8, figure 34).
b. The bevel-index scale (9, figure 34) indicates the
angular position of the motor with respect to
horizontal, from 0 ° to 90 ° in either vertical position.
c. The bevel latch pin automatically indexes the motor
at 0°, 45 ° and 90 ° up and down. Lift the spring
loaded latch-pin handle to release this pin. At any
other position, the latch pin does not engage.
d. The bevel lock knob locks the motor to the yoke
when the motor is in any position. Rotate the knob
cloekwise to lock, counterclockwise to unlock.
6. Power Switch and Key
a. This saw cannot be operated without the key, and
the key cannot be removed from the lock while the
saw motor is running.
b, To release the switch lever (15, figure 34) insert the
key (7, figure 34) in the slot and turn it counter-
clockwise until it stops. Rotate the key clockwise
to lock the switch.
c. To start the saw, engage your forefinger under the
left side of the switch lever and pull the lever
outward.
d lo stop the saw, simply push the switch lever with
finger or thumb.
WARNING: When leaving the saw unattended,
lock the ON-OFF switch and remove the key.
POSITIONING SAWDUST CHUTE, AND
ANTI-KICKBACK AND SPREADER
ASSEMBLY, FOR RIPPING
WARNING: NEVER POSITION THE GUARD
CHUTE OR ANTI-KICKBACK ASSEMBLY
WITH THE POWER ON. NEVER POSITION
THE ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS BY GRASP-
ING THE PAWLS OR SPREADER.
For all crosscutting operations (those operations in which
the carriage is traveled along the radial arm to feed the saw
blade into the workpiece) both the sawdust chute (16,
figure 34) and the anti-kickback and spreader assembly (12,
figure 34) must be elevated to clear theworkpiece or the
fence, whichever is higher.
1. The Anti-Kickback and Spreader Assembly
b.
The anti-kickback and spreader assembly (12, figure
34) is used during ripping operations and is adjust-
able to accommodate the thickness of the board
being ripped. A wing nut in the guard secures the
assembly.
The anti-kickback and spreader assembly is posi-
tioned by grasping the top of the light housing
assembly (23, figure 3 on p. 30), I9osening the wing
nut, and raising or lowering the assembly until the
anti-kickback pawl point nearest the saw blade rests
on the top surface of the workpiece, with the bottom
edge of the pawls angled slightly downhill to the top
surface of the workpiece. (See figure 35.) Before
making the cut, check the effectiveness of the
anti-kickback pawls by placing the workpiece under
Figure 35

the pawls and attempting to slide it in the direction
of kickback. If the pawls do not catch, further
adjustment is necessary.
e
d.
e.
When positioning the anti-kickback and spreader
assembly for bevel ripping, lower the assembly until
the Iocknut just clears the workpiece. If the pawls do
not catch, further adjustment is necessary.
Before repositioning the yoke to the crosscut posi-
tion, false the anti-kickback assembly to the upper
limit and secure.
The tips of the anti-kickback pawls should be
checked occasionally and kept sharp.
2. The Sawdust Chute
a. The sawdust chute (16, figure 34) is used to help
prope! sawdust from the cut and provide a hold-
down for boards during ripping.
b The sawdust chute is positioned by grasping the
upper tab et lower end of chute, loosening the knob
(17, figure 34) and raising or lowering it to just clear
the top surface of the board being ripl_ed_'T-_ght_'_n_
the knob secures the chute.
c. Before repositionlng the yoke to the crosscut posi-
tion, raise the chute to the upper limit and secure.
IMPORTANT: In ripping operations the work-
piece is always fed from the sawdust chute side,
never from the anti-kickback side of the guard.
(See figures 41 and 42.)
PRECISION INDEXING
Experienced operators of precision equipment, such as your
Craftsman Radial-Arm 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. Figure 34 inset shows the radial arm being se-
curely indexed by "tapping" the arm latch lever with the
palm of the hand. Swivel indexing and bevel indexing can
be accomplished in a similar manner This indexing tech-
nique tends to neutralize any stresses imposed upon the saw
components, and contributes to the high degree of accuracy
the saw is capable of producing when operated expertly.
BASIC SAW OPERATIONS
REQUIREMENTS FOR CROSSCUT
(OPERATIONS 1THROUGH 4)
1. Be sure you return the carriage to the full rearward posi-
tion 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 com-
plete stop before removing the workpiece from the saw
table.
2. Arbor nut must be tight and saw blade guard installed in
a horizontal position with anti-kickback device in full up
position.
3. Arm latch handle (knob) must be tight.
4. Work must be held firmly against table and fence. For
workpieces thicker than the fence is high, it is recom-
mended that a higher fence be cut (at least workpiece
thickness) and inserted for that operation being per-
formed. 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 placed
against the fence, within the stated capacities of your
saw.
5. Blade should be sharp and correctly set.
6. Hands must be kept well away from saw blade.
7. Yoke clamp handle must be in locked position.
8. Bevel index knob must be tight.
9. For operations No. 3 and No. 4, observe additional in
struetions under paragraph, "Operating Controls",
"Blade A_gle".

port for the edge of the workpiece. Never crosscut free-
hand.
WARNING: BEFORE CROSSCUTTING, MAKE
SURE THE ARM LATCH, BEVEL LOCK AND
YOKE CLAMP ARE ALL SECURED, NEVER USE
ALENGTH STOP OR A FIXED GUIDE ON THE
FREE END OR EDGE OF AWORKPIECE. (SEE
INSTRUCTION 15 UNDER "'SAFETY INBTRUC-

WHEN PULLING THE SAW TOWARD YOU DUR-
ING CROSSCUTTING, THE BLADE TENDS TO
FEED ITSELF THROUGH THE WORK DUE TO
THE ROTATION OF THE BLADE AND THE

OPERATION NO. 2 -- MITER CROSSCUT
Miter crosscutting is the process of sawing a board at any
angle other than a 90 ° (square) cut. (See figure 37.) The
45" miter angle is a popular one, since two boards cut at
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, and the yoke and bevel settings are
o
indexed at 0 (and locked), as in square crosscutting. The
board being cut is held firmly against the fence, and the
carriage is pulled forward along the radial arrn 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
workpiece from the 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 ° 1o the saw table (Bee figure 38.) The radial arm
and yoke are indexed at 0 ° and locked, but the bevel _sset
'co the de<,ired angle of cut. The board is held firmly against
the fence, and the carriage is pulled forward along the radial
arm to p_oduce the cut. The carriage should be _eturned to

full rearward position, and the saw blade allowed to come
to a complete stop, before removing the workpiece from
the saw table.
OPERATION NO. 4 -- COMPOUND
CROSSCUT
Compound crosscutting is a combination of miter and bevel
crosscutting. (See figure 39) The radial arm and bevel are
set to produce the desired cut; the yoke is indexed at 0 °
and locked. The board is held firmly against the fence, and
the carriage is 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 the workpiece from
the saw table.
REQUIREMENTS FOR RIPPING
OPERATIONS 5 AND 6
1. Carriage lock knob must be tight.
2. Radial arm must'be locked in 0 ° position.
3. Saw blade must be parallel to fence, to minimize
possibility of kickbacks.
4. Work must be held firmly against table and fence while
feeding through.
5. Guard chute and anti-kickback pawls must be properly
set. Observe instructions under "ADJUSTING GUARD
CHUTE AND ANti-KICKBACK AND SPREADER
ASSEMBLY FOR RIPPING OPERATIONS", preceding.
16
YOKE
Figure 42
6. Blade should be sharp and correctly set.
7. Hands must be kept wellaway from saw blade.
8. When ripping narrow or short stock, always use a push
board.
OPERATION NO. 5 -- OUT-RIPPING
AND IN-RIPPING
1. Ripping is the process of sawing the workpiece by feed
ing 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, SPREADER
AND ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS ARE SET UP
PROPE R LY. 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
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 work-
piece 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 kerr closed and bind the blade
and a kickback could occur.
4. Stand a little 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 work, always use a push
stick applied to the section of the workpiece between
the blade and fence . .. push the work past the blade so
it is clear of the blade. This procedure will minimize the
possibility of kickbacks.
Out-Ripping (See figure 41.1 The bevel is indexed and
locked at 0 °. The yoke is turned 90-degrees in a counter-
clockwise direction (viewed from above), from the crosscut
position. When you are standing in front of the saw, the
blade will rotate clockwise. Before positioning the guard
chute and anti kickback pawls, lower the blade to just cut
into the table. After positioning the guard chute and
anti-kickback pawls, the workpiece is fed from the chute
(left-hand) side of the guard, as shown. The "Out Rip"
scale is on the left-hand side of the radial arm,
OPERATION NO. 6 -- BEVEL RIPPING
Bevel ripping is either in-ripping or out-ripping as de_ribed
preceding, except the saw blade is tilted out of perpendicu-
lar to the saw table surface. Figure 42 shows a typical bevel
out-ripping operation. The bevel is set to the desired bevel
angle, and the yoke is positioned for in-ripping or out
ripping, as required. All requirements and observations
applicable to normal ripping operations also apply to bevel
ripping.

safety instructions to operator
1. Be sure to read the following instructions carefully
before operating the saw.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT POWER
CORD UNTIL THE FOLLOWING STEPS
HAVE BEEN SATISFACTORILY COM-
PLETED.
a. Assembly and installation.
b. Examination and operating familiarity with ON-
OFF switch, elevation control, bevel control, rip
control, and miter control.
c. Review and understanding of the operating proce-
dures which follow.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the power when
changing the sat-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 Wpe
operation.
2. The saw should be bolted down.
3. Set carriage lock before moving machine.
4. Position your entire saw (or saw and bench) to slope
slightly rearward, so the carriage will not roll forward
due to gravity.
5. Kickbacks can cause serious injury. A kickback occurs
when a part of the workpiece binds on 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:
a. Failure to use a spreader when ripping, or failure to
maintain the spreader in alignment with the saw
blade.
b. Improperly conditioned (dull) saw that permits the
material to pinch on the out-feed edge of the saw
and rise from the table.
c, Failure to determine that the rip fence and the saw
blade are parallel to each other.
d. 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 fiat (which may rock on
the table and pinch the blade).
e. Confining the cut-off piece when ripping.
6.
B,
9,
10.
11.
Ripping 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
apush stick for narrow or short work),
g. Releasing workpiece before operation is complete...
not pushing the workpiece all the way past the saw
blade.
NOTE: Injury from kickbacks may be pre-
vented or minimized by:
Avoiding any of the causes noted above...
Making sure (by trial) before starting the cut
that the anti-kickback pawls will stop the kick-
back once it has started...
Keeping your face and body always out of line
of possible kickbacks, including turning the
switch ON and OFF ...
Always wearing safety goggles...
Whenever possible, perform rip, bevel rip, and plough
cuts with the saw in the out-rip position. This provides
the most stable setup (carriage bearings nearest the
column) and the greatest visibility of the sawblade.
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.
Before starting work, verify that no play exists in the
carriage and that arm, yoke, and bevel locks/clamps are
tight.
Use only accessories that are designed for this machine.
The saw work area should have adequate overhead,
non-glare light and adequate surrounding work space.
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 fence misalign-
ment (out-of-parallel) with the sawblade. Such condi-
tions cause the material to stick, jam, stall the saw, or
kick-back at the operator. Cracked saw blades should
be discarded immediately. A sawblade can become
cracked if it wobbles or if it is not in balance. Never
attempt to free a statled saw blade without turning the
saw "OFF". Avoid potential injury by proper cutting
tool and machine maintenance."
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 nor-
mally, not excessively.
18
12. Gloves should not be worn while operating the saw.
Loose flowing garments, jewelry (rings, wrist watches,
etc.} and neckties should never be worn. Long sleeves
should be rolled to above the elbows.
13. Always wear safety goggles to protect the eyes. In addi-
tion. wear a face shield if the operation is dusty, and
ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during extended periods
of operation.
14. Provide proper support for the workpiece, based on its
size and the type of operation to be performed. Hold
the work firmly against the fence. When ripping short
workpieces (under 12-inches long) or narrow pieces
(under 6-inches wide), use a push stick applied to the
section of the workpiece between the blade and the
fence.
15. Never use a length stop on the free end or edge of the
workpiece. Never hang onto or touch the free end of
workp*ece, or a free piece that is cut off, while power
is "ON" and!or the saw blade is rotating. In short, to
guard against kickbacks or other potential accidents,
the cut-off piece in any thro-sawing operation must
never be confined -- it must be allowed to move laterally.
16. Do not leave a long board unsupported so the spring of
the board causes it to shift on the table. A support
should be used to catch the end of the board you are
supporting.
17. 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.
18. Never climb on or near the saw when power is on.
Never leave the saw with power on, or before the cut-
ting tool has come to a complete stop. Lock the motor
switch and put away the key when leaving the saw.
19. Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip
could cause a hand to move into a saw blade or other
cutting tool. Never reach in back of or around the
cutting toot with either hand to hold down the work-
piece.
CAUTION: Never reposition the GUARD
CHUTE or anti-kickback/spreader with power
ON.
20. Always position the GUARD CHUTE and the anti-
kickback and spreader assembly for rip type opera-
tions. Also make sure the cutting tool, arbor collars
and arbor nuts are installed properly. Keep guards in
place; use the proper guard.
21.
22.
Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for
an operating speed in excess of the design speed of the
saw. Never use a cutting tool larger in diameter than
the diameter for which the saw was designed. For
greatest safety and efficiency when ripping, use the
maximum diameter blade for which the saw is de-
signed, since under these conditions the spreader is
nearest the blade.
The use of abrasive or cut-off wheels, or wire wheels
can be dangerous and is not recommended. (Abrasive
or cut-off wheels are used to saw many different ma-
terials including metals, stone, and glass.)
23, Do not position the arm so the operation you are per-
forming permits the cutting tool to extend beyond the
edges of th_e table.
24. Never turn your radial arm saw "ON" before clearing
the table or work surface of all objects (tools, scraps of
wood, etc.) except the workpiece and related feed or
support devices for the operation planned_
25.
26.
27.
Objects can be thrown upward toward the operator by
the back of the blade if proper operating procedures
are not followed. This usually occurs when a small,
loose piece of wood or other object contacts the rear
of the revolving blade. It can be avoided by removing
all loose pieces from the table immediately after they
are made, using a long stick, and keeping the guard in
place at all times. Use extra caution when the guard
assembly is removed for molding, and replace the guard
as soon as that operation has been completed.
Never perform any operation "free hand". This term
means feeding the carriage into the workpiece or feed-
ing 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 in the crosscut position...
feeding saw blade into the stationary workpiece. Never
make a miter cut with the arm in the 90 ° crosscut
position.
Safety is a combination of operator common sense and
alertness at all times when the saw is being used.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Even though the finest materials and precision workman-
ship have been incorporated into your Craftsman saw, it is
reasonable to expect some wear after long periods Gf 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 the necessary corrections
described and illustrated.

ment should be understood. Figure 44 shows a
sectional view through the column tube sup-
port (looking downward} at the column tube
key location By loosening the left-hand set-
screw and tightening the right-hand setscrew
the column tube key will be forced tighter into
the column tube keyway. Conversely, loosen-
ing the right-hand setscrew and tightening the
left-hand setscrew wilt retract the column key
out of the column tube keyway. The setscrew
in the outer end of the column tube key must
be loosened while adjustment is being made,
and tightened with medium firmness after the
adjustment has been completed. This screw
applies pressure on the nylon friction plug, and
provides smoother elevation movement of the
column tube ... and should be tightened to
provide maximum smoothness of operation.
References to right- and left-hand positions are
as indicated in the illustration.

setscrew slightly, and check again for smooth
operation. When correct, tighten the left-hand
setscrew.
(6) Tighten the setscrew located in the center of the
column tube key until smoothest operation is
obtained.
2. BLADE DOES NOT MAKE SQUARE CUTS, AND
ACCURATE REPEAT CUTS CANNOT BE MADE
If this condition exists the trouble might be due to any
one, or a combination of, the following conditions:
a. Looseness Between Column Tube and Column Sup-
port.
Adjust as described in preceding paragraph "1", a
and b.
b. Crosscut Travel Not Properly Adjusted.
Refer to "ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS", step "4.
Squaring the Crosscut Travel", preceding. If crosscut
travel cannot be adjusted as described, refer to
paragraph "i", 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 the various positions on
20
trouble shooting
the top surface of the table, as described under
"ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS", step "2. Adjust-
ing the Table Supports Parallel to the Radial Arm".
d. Saw Blade Not Square With Table.
Adjust as described in paragraph "j", following.
e. Bearings Loose on Tracks.
Adjust carriage bearings as described in paragraph
"k", following.
f. Yoke Does Not Index Properly.
Check for proper yoke indexing by noting whether
the swivel latch pin fits into its detents properly. If
swivei latch-pin housing screws (located under left-
hand carriage cover) are loose, readjust blade for heel
as described in "3. Blade Heels to the Right or Left",
following.
g. Yoke Clamp Does Not Tighten the Yoke When in
Full Rearward Position.
Refe( to paragraph "1", following.
h. Improper Indexing of Radial Arm for Miter Cuts.
Refer to paragraph "Precision Indexing", in the
Operating Controls section.
i. Adjusting the Arm Latch to Correct Crosscut Travel
Maladjustment (Figures 45 and 46).
In some remote cases, due to rough handling, etc.,
the crosscut travel cannot be squared by the usual
method. (Refer to step "4. Squaring the Crosscut
Trave " under "ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS".) If
this condition is encountered, it will be necessary to
adjust the arm latch as follows :

screws did not affect the adjustment.
(8) After the crosscut has been accurately squared,
reinstall the radial-arm cap with the two
1/4-28xl-inch screws and 1/4-inch Iockwashers.
Reinstall the radial-arm indicator with its attach-
ing screw tight.
(9) Set the radial-arm scale to 0 °, and tighten the
attaching screws securely.
j. Squaring the Saw Blade to the Table (Figs. 47, 48).
(1) Remove the guard.
(2) Place a framing square on the table with the
short leg against the saw blade as shown in figure

(c) Tilt the motor until the saw blade is square
with the table top as shown in figure 47.
Then, while holding the square firmly
against the saw blade and table top, apply
moderate force against the lower part of the
saw blade with your thumb, until approxi-
mately 1/32 inch clearance exists between
the square and the lower edge of the blade.
This is to compensate for the possible slight
shifting of the motor while the socket-head
screws are being tightened.
(d) Tighten the four socket-head screws and
replace the bevel lock knob (figure 48). It
may be necessary to perform several trial
operations before the saw blade remains
perfectly square with the table, after tighten
ing the four screws.
(4) After completing this adjustment, set the bevel
indicator to zero.
k, Adjusting Carriage Bearings (Figs. 49 through 52).
To test for looseness between the carriage bearings
and the tracks on the radial arm, lock the yoke-clamp
handle (figure 49), grasp the motor and carriage
assembly firmly with both hands, and apply a firm
rocking motion. If looseness exists, perform the
following steps :
NOTE: Adjustment is made on lefr-hand side, onlyo
(1) Remove left-hand carriage cover (figure 50).
(2) Loosen the two nuts (figure 51) just enough to
permit the two eccentric screws to turn. (See
figure 52.)
(3) Rotate one of the eccentric screws a partial turn
(left or right) as required to take up looseness,
Hold the head of the eccentric screw (figure 51)
m the position established by this method and
t_ghten the nut. Repeat this procedure for the
other eccentric screw. Correct adjustment exists
.vhen there is no play between the carriage and
the radial arm tracks, but the carriage moves
',0ack and forth freely.
(4) Reinstall the left-hand carriage cover (figure 50).

I. Yoke Clamp Handle Adjustment (Figures 53 -56).
The normal locking position of the yoke-clamp
handle (figure 53) is approximately midway between
the two sides of the yoke. When sufficient wear has
occurred to permit the handle to move considerably
to the rear, or to strike the yoke before locking, the
handle may be adjusted as follows:
(1) Loosen the yoke-clamp handle.
(2) Remove the carriage stop screw and Iockwasher
(figure 54} with the 1/4 inch hex-L wrench.
(3}
(4)
(5)
Grasp the motor and carriage assembly and,
holding it parallel to the radial arm until all
bearing rollers are free of their tracks, move it
carefully off the end of the arm.
Rest the motor and carriage assembly on the saw
table and remove the lock screw (figure 55).
Using a screwdriver, rotate the yoke clamp
assembly (figure 56} clockwise until the next
hole will line up with the lock screw. (See figure
55.) Usually, rotating the yoke clamp assembly
one hole will correct this adjustment. However,
in some extreme cases it may be necessary to
rotate it two holes or more.
(6)
(7)
Align, install and tighten the lock screw. (See
figure 55.)
Hold the motor and carriage assembly parallel to
the radial arm and start the rear bearings onto the
tracks. Continue to hold the assembly parallel to
the tracks until the forward bearings are on the
tracks.
18) Slide the carriage rearward on the radial arm and
reinstall the carriage stop screw and Iockwasher
(figure 54).
3. BLADE HEELS TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT
A blade is said to "'heel"whenit is out of alignment with
the direction in which it is forced to travel. Figure 57
shows a saw blade heeling to the right. The result of
even a minor degree of heeling can be detected by the
tooth marks left on the side of the saw kerf (cut edge)
of the board. When using a taper ground blade, even a
small degree of heeling will cause the wood to smoke
because of the frictional heat produced. When ripping,
heeling can cause kickbacks.

a. Evidence of Blade Heel
(1) Crosscutting
Figure 58
(a) Heeling to the right will tend to slide the
workpiece toward the right along the rip
fence, as the cut is being made, and will
make square cutting almost impossible.
(b) Heeling to the left will tend to slide the
board to the left along the fence.
(2) Miter Cutting - Same as for crosscutting, except
to a lesser or greater degree, depending upon the
angle°
(3) In-Ripping
(a) Heeling to the right will force the workpiece
against the rip fence.
(b) Heeling to the teft will force the workpiece
away from the fence.
(4} Out-Ripping - The exact reverse of in-ripping
b. Checking for Blade Heel.
(1) Loosen the guard clamp screw and remove the
g_:ard,
(2) Place asquare against the rip fence and the saw
blade, as shown in figure 58. The long leg of the
square must be held firmly against both the rip
fence and the table top, and the short leg must
not touch any of the teeth on the saw blade.
(3) If the square does not touch the blade at both of
the two points shown in figure 5B, a heel
condition exists (either to the left or right).
e. Adjusting to Eliminate Blade Heel.
(1) Remove the left-hand carriage cover (figure 58).
(2) Loosen the yoke-clamp handle (figure 56).
(3) Loosen (slightly) two hex-head screws (figure
59).
(4) R,_tate the yoke until the gap between the saw
blade and the square is eliminated.
(5) Iock the yoke with the yoke clamp handle, and
[iqhten the two he×-head screws (figure 59).

(7) Reinstall the left-hand carriage cover.
4. WOOD SMOKES AND MOTOR SLOWS DOWN OR
STOPS, WHEN RIPPING
This can be caused by the following conditions :
a. A Dull Blade or a Warped Board.
Sharpen or replace the saw blade. Avoid the
attempted use of severely warped material.
b. Crosscut Not Properly Squared.
Adjust as described under "ALIGNMENT INSTRUC-
TIONS", step "4. Squaring the Crosscut Travel".
c. Radial Arm Not Securely Locked in 0 ° Position.
Refer to"PRECISION INDEXING" in the Operating
Controls section.
d. Blade Heels to the Right or Left.
Refer to paragraph "3. Blade Heels to the Right or
Left", preceding.
5. BOARD BINDS, OR PULLS AWAY FROM THE
FENCE, WHEN RIPPING
Refer to "Adjusting Guard Chute and Anti-Kickback
and Spreader Assembly for Ripping Operations" in the
Operating Controls section.
LUBRICATION
Your saw is precision built and should be kept clean and
properly lubricated. Before describing the various points
which may periodically require lubrication, IT IS MORE
IMPORTANT TO FIRST MENTION THE VARIOUS
POINTS WHICH SHOULD NOT BE LUBRICATED,
NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED
Do not lubricate the carriage ball bearings or the motor
bearings. These are sealed ball bearings and require no
added lubrication.
Do not lubricate between the radial arm cap and the radial
arm.
24
trouble shooting - motor
PERIODICALLY LUBRICATE THESE POINTS
Use SAE No. 10W-30 automotive engine oil. Refer to the
Parts Lists for locations, and lightly lubricate the following
points:
1. The rea_ bearing surface of the elevation crank shaft
assembly - and also the two meshed gears through
which this shaft drives the elevation shaft assembly.
There is an oil hole in the bracket at the rear end of the
etevatior, crank shaft, through which the rear bearing
surface can be oiled.
2. The threads of the elevation shaft assembly -- and also
the bottom bearing surface of this shaft where it is held
by the retaining plate. Use the oil hole at the center of
the radial-arm cap.
3. The bevel-latch pin.
4. The bearing surface of the swivel-latch pin in the
latch-pin housing.
5. The face of the column tube and keyway (by wiping
with alightly oiled cloth) to lubricate the surfaces that
bear against the key and the column support assembly,
ICAUTION: Excessive oil at any location will I

attract airborne dust particles and sawdust. I
TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART--MOTOR
NOTE: Motors used on wood-working tools are particularly and *-hould be blown out or "vacuumed" frequently to
susceptible _o the accumulation of sawdust and wood chips prevent interference with normal motor ventilation.
TROUBLE
Motor will not run.
Motor will not run and
fuses "BLOW".
Motor fails to develop
full power. (Power output
of motor decreases rapidly
with decrease in voltage at
motor terminals. For
example: a reduction of
10% in voltage causes a
reductior_ of 19% in
maximum power output
of which the motor is
capable, while a reduction
of 20% in voltage causes
reduction of 36% in
maximum power output.)
PROBABLE CAUSE
1. Protector open; circuit
broken.
2. Low voltage.
1. Short circuit in line, cord
or plug.
2. Short circuit in motor or
loose connections.
1. Power line overloaded with

3. General overloading of
power company's facitities.
(In many sections of the
country, demand for
electrical power exceeds
the capacity of existing gen-
erating and distribution
systems.)
4. h_correct fuses in power line.
REMEDY
1. Reset protector by pushing on red button, located
on top of motor (indicated by audible click).
2. Check power line for proper voltage.
1. Inspect line, cord and plug for damaged insulation
and shorted wires.
2. Inspect all terminals in motor for loose or shorted
