Safety Precaution
The saw motor is equipped with a manual reset, therme]
oveHoad protector. If during operation this protector opens
the line, immediately turn the switch "Off". The protector
can be closed again after the motor has cooled by firmly
pushing the red button on the capacitor cover until the
protector snaps into the running position. Do not tap or
strike the reset button_ This protector is not intended to
take the place of a fuse as the protector will not provide
protection against overloads or short circuits in the lines
leading to the motor. The motor should not be operated on
a load which ca usesthe protector to open the line frequently°
For circuit protection use a "Fustat" or "'Fusetran" fuse
--15 ampere fuse for 115 volt operation and 7½ ampere fuse fop 230 volt operation.

LOCKING THE CARRIAGE TO THE RADIAL ARM
is
accomplished by the carriage lock knob (Item 7, figure 19).
Turn the knob clockwise to lock; counterclockwise to unlock.
ANGULAR MOVEMENT AND LOCKING OF THE RADIAL
ARM are controlled by the arm latch handle (item 12,
figure 19). The radial arm can be rotated 360 ° and locked
in any position. The arm is unlocked from any position by a
slight counterclockwise rotation of the arm latch handle
and is locked in any position by rotating the arm latch
handle clockwise until tight. The radial arm has positive
stops at 0 ° and 45 ° left and right, and is released from
these index positions by unlocking and pulling out the arm
latch handle (Item 12, figure 19). Due to positive arm
locking at the index positions, the arm latch handle
may be difficult to pull out. A few turns to the left will
release i|.
For most positive and accurate settings at the index positions, the following is recommended:
1. if the radio1 arm is already indexed, unlock and pull
out the arm latch handle and move the radial arm off
of the index position. Release the arm latch handle.
2. Before moving the radial arm to the desired index position, turn the arm latch handle (item 12, figure 19) just
1/4 turn counterclockwise from the locked position.
3. Move the radia! arm into the index position (do not
bump or jar) and hit the face of the arm latch handle

STANDARDSAW OPERATIONS
CROSS, CUI"rlNG
Crass-cuttlng is the sawing of wood across the grain. Planks
ore milled with the grain running the length of the plank_ If
a straight cross-cut is desired, the board is placed on the
saw table against the fence so that the grain is parallel to
the fence. See Figure 26.

PROPEROPERATINGPROCEDURES
DRESS PROPERLY -- Operation of the saw is simple, safe
and easy-when properly done. Always be atert_ Do not
wear a tie or other loose artlcles. Keep long sleeves down
with cuffs fastened or wear short sleeves. NEVER STOP
BEING CAREFUL. One moment of inattention can cost you
a painful injury.

NOTE
When cross-cuttlng normal pieces of lumber, the
long end of the board should be placed to the left
of the saw blade as the board is normally held by
the left hand during operation_

AVOID
AWKWARD
HAND POSITIONS-*Do
not get
hands into a position in which a sudden slip can cause them
to move into the saw blade. NEVER OPERATE THE SAW
WITH THE ARMS IN A CROSSED POSITION. Never hold
work on right side of blade with left hand while pulling saw
with the right hand Do not attempt flee-hand cros_.cuttlngo
Use a push stickwhen hand gets too close to the blade in o
ripping position.
NEVER TWIST WORK --Twisting work will bind blade and
cause a kickback_
Safety Precaution
The motor is shipped with a shaft cap (Item 21,
figure 4) threaded onto the stub end of the motor
shaft_ When this shaft end of the motor is not being
used, this cap should always be in place.

The radial arm must be positioned at 0 ° as indicated by the
radial arm position indicator. The arm latch handle must be
indexed and tightened_ See page 11 "Angular Movement
and Locking of the Radial Arm" far the most accurate setting
at the 0 ° index position. The yoke must be indexed at the 0 °
position, making the saw blade perpendicular to the rip

of the radial arm so the blade is behind the rip fence. Adjust
the saw guard so the bottom is parallel to the table and set
the antl-klckback pawl assembly so it iust clears the board

The carriage will tend to move toward the operator so be
,prepared to restrain it by keeping your arm straight from
fife shoulder to the wrist, When the cut is complete, the saw
should be returned to the back of the radial arm and the
swltch key turned "Off".
it will be noticed, that the
saw blade tends to feed itself through
the work
due to the rotation of the blade and the direction of
feed. Therefore, the operator should develop the habit
of holding his right arm straight from the shoulder
to the wrlst_ After this method is used a few times the operator will find that it is necessary to roll or rotate the body
from the waist up. If this method is followed, it will become
apparent that very little effort is required on the pert of the
operator to move the saw blade through the work, and in
most cases, the right arm is used merely to control the rate of
feed of the saw through the board_ It will also be found that
when cross-cuttlng a thick board it wilt be necessary to retard
movement of the saw through the work. By holding the right
arm (right hand normally grips the saw handle) _alght, the
operator can easily control the rate of feed, thus prever_ing
the saw blade from overfeeding and stalling the saw motor.
This must be avoided whenever possible. In some casesit may
become necessary to cross-cut tong boards which extend
over the saw table on one, or both sides. This can cause
buckling of the board and bind the sow during the cut, To
eliminate th;s condition the ends of the board should be sup-

IN-RIPPING--In-rip
refers to a posltion when the blade is
between the motor and the fence and parallel to the fence.
See Figure 28. To place the sow in this position, unlock the
yoke, disengage the swivel latch pin and rotate the yoke 90 °
clockwise (viewing it from the carriage) until the swivel latch
pin automatically indexes the yoke 90% Relock the yoke.
See "'Adjustment of Pointers" to check accuracy of "lnoRip"
scale reading. Position the motor on the radial arm until the
pointer on the "In-Rip" scale indicates the desired width of
the finished cut board_ Tighten the carriage lock knob securely. Position the discharge elbow on the guard _o that
sawdust will be blown toward the rear of the saw. Turn the
saw "'On" end lower the saw blade until it cuts into the table
top about 1/32",, Turn the saw "Off"°
Haw adjust the
saw guard and anti.kickback pawl assembly as described
in the paragraph "Ripping".
The board to be ripped
must be fed into the saw blade from the right side of
the table, therefore, the normal position for the operator
is also at the right side of the table. With the left hand safely
clear of the blade and holding the board to be ripped down
against the table and against the face of the fence as a
guide, use the right hand to feed the board into the saw. The
left hand should remain stationary, serving as a guide only.
As the right hand approaches the left hand, hold a push stick
with the right hand to complete the cut° Do not leave a long
board unsupported so that the spring of the board causes it
to shift on the table_ A support like that described in "Cross_
Cutting" can be used to support the board behind the blade;
and if the board is very long, use another support in front of
the saw° R_pped boards up to 8_" wide can be cut in

7. An auxiliary table top for molding or shaping can be
constructed slmffar to Figure 39_ Note the shape of the
back guide fence against which your work p_eceis moved°
A cut-out 5" wide should be made at the center of this
guide fence to give adequate clearance for the molding
head and cutters. Also a wider clearance marked "'A°'
should be made to allow for the radial saw motor. Be
sure the front edge of the auxiliary table is parallel with
the surface of the guide fence. With the auxiliary table
top thus completed it is ready for use by merely damplng it into position with "C °' clamps.
