CONNECTING THE MOTOR TO THE POWER SUPPLY

Motor Spec_cations

115/230 volt, 10/5 amps, 3450 RPM, 60 cycle, alternating

current (AoC. only) single phase, non-reverslbteo Rotation:

clockwlse viewing saw blade end of motor shaft.

The motor as shipped is connected for 115 volts_ For 115

volt operation see Figures 6 and 7 for connecting plug

and cord from saw into 115 volt receptacle.

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

aload 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 am-

pere fuse fop 230 volt operation.

RAISING AND LOWERING THE RADIAL ARM is ac-

complished by the elevation crank (Item 18, figure 19). One

complete turn of this handte will raise or lower_the radial

€l/'m _,_".

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 posi-

tions, 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 posi-

tion, 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

solidly with the palm of the hand.

4. Lock the radial arm by turning the arm latch handle tufty

clecl_,vise.

CAUTION: When moving the radial arm in any

direction beyond _° left or right, always pull out

11

the arm latch handle (at end of radial arm) to

prevent damaging the arm lock pln_ If damage

occurs, the radial arm wiff not index properly at

0 ° and 45_ left or right.

MOVEMENT AND POSITION OF THE MOTOR IN THE

YOKE are,controlled by the latch pln handle (item 10, figure

19) and beveZlock knob (Item 16, figure 19). The bevel scale

indicates the angular position of the motor with respect to

the horizontal from 0 _to 90 ° in either vertical pos'rtionoThe

latch pin handle automatically indexes the motor at 0 °, 45 °,

and 90 ° up and da'_n. Lift to release. At any other posi-

tion the latch pin handle isnot engaged. The bevel lock knob

locks the motor to the yoke when the motor is in any posi-

tion. Locking is clockwise; unlocking is counterclockwise.

MOVEMENT AND POSITION OF THE YOKE are con-

troffed by the swivel latch pin knob (Item 9, figure 19) and

the yoke clamp handle (Item 5, figure 19). The swivel latch

pin automatically indexes the yoke at each 90 °position and

two 45 ° positions_ Lift to release_ The yoke clamp handle

locks the yoke to the carriage in any position. Pull to release.

Push to tighten. When "in Ripping" it may be desirable to

have more flee table in front of the saw blade than is oh-

tainable when the radial arm is at the 0 ° posltlon_ With

the blade in th normal cross-cut position index the radial

arm to 45 ° left and lock it. Then loosen the yoke clamp

handle and index tile yoke 45 ° clockwise_ Redamp the

yoke clamp handle. The added free table space is now to

the right of the blade and ripping should be done from the

right side of the table. The reverse is also true for "Out

Ripping" by indexing the radial arm 45 ° right and index-

ing the yoke ,45° countercTackwlse_ The added table space

is now ta the left of the blade and ripping should be done

from the left s_de of the table.

CAUTION: Under these two conditions the In-Rip

and Out-Rip scales cannot be used.

PROPEROPERATINGPROCEDURES

DRESS PROPERLY -- Operation of the saw is simple, safe

and easy-when properly done. Always be atert_ Do not

wear atie 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.

AVOID AWKWARD HAND POSITIONS-*Do not get

hands into aposition in which asudden 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 apush 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.

LUBR|CATriON

Your saw is a fine machine and should be given the best of

care. If kept clean and properly lubricated, it will give many

years of trouble-free service° Before describing the various

points which may periodically require lubrication, IT 15

MORE IMPORTANT TO FIRST MENTION THE VARIOUS

SPOTS WHICH SHOULD NOT BE LUBRICATED°

NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED

Do not lubricate any ball races or any ball bearings.

Do not lubrTcate bearing fit of bevel index handle (Item 52,

figure 3) in yoke.

Do not lubricate the motor bearings° These are sealed ball

bearings and require no added lubrication.

Do not lubricate bevel latch pin (Item 31, figure 3) in yoke.

DO not lubricate between radial arm cap (Item 12, figure 1)

and radial arm_

PERIODICALLY LUBRICATE THESE POINTS

Use SAE No. 10-30 Auto Engine Oilo

Apply a few drops of all along the swivel latch pin (item 6,

figure 3) only ff the pin has atendency to stick.Remove the

left-hand carriage cover and use all sparingly to prevent it

from getting on the ball bearings or races.

Alight film of oil can be wiped on the face of the column

tube (Item 15, figure 1) and keyway to lubricate the fit

between this part and the key and column support (Items

21 and 19, figure 2).

Apply a few drops of all to the bearing surfaces of the

elevation crank shaft assembly (Item 29, figure 2). An othng

hole is provided in the elevaffon shaft bearing bracket (Item

23, figure 2) to facilitate the lubrication of the rear bearing

support.

The thread on the elevation shaft assembly (Item 30, figure

2) can be lubricated through the oiling hole in the center

of the radial arm cap (Item 12, figure I).

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.

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 isnormally held by

the left hand during operation_

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 mostaccurate setting

at the 0 ° index position. The yoke must be indexed at the 0 °

position, making the saw blade perpendicular to the rip

fence, and the yoke clamp handle placed in the locked pos_-

• .. o €IS

fion. The bevel index handle must be positioned at 0 ,

indicated by the bore| scale, and Iocked_Turn the elevation

crank to lower the saw until the btade teeth are approxl-

mately 1/32" below the table surface in the saw slot

made when performing the "PREI.IMINARY CROSS-CUT

AT THE 0 ° POSITION". Push the saw carriage to the rear

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

to be cut. Turn the switch key "On" to start the saw motor.

Hold the board firmly against the rip fence with the left hand

and grasp the bevel index handle with the right hand. The

cut is then made by pulling the carriage forward until the

13

saw _lode cuts through the work_

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 oper-

ator 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

mostcases, 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 athick board itwilt 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, thusprever_ing

the saw blade from overfeeding and stalling the saw motor.

This mustbe 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-

ported. Figure 27 illustrates a typical support which can be

made and used to facilitate cross<utting of long lumber°

RIPPING

Ripping is the sawing of wood with the grain. It is always

done with the help of the fence as a guide to position and

maintain the work at the correct width for the cut_ Because

the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a reason..

ably straight edge to make sliding contact with the fence°

Also, the work must make solid contact wlth the table sa that

it will not wobble or rock. Provide a straight edge, even if

this means temporary nailing of an auxiliary straight edge

board to the work_ If work piece is warped, torn the hollow

side down.

Use of the sow guard is always recommended; and the arrti-

kicEback paw! assembly shou|d always be used in both in-rip

or our-rip operations, Before ripping and after the saw has

been positioned prior to cutting, the saw guard and anti-

kickback pawl assembly must be properly adjusted_ Loosen

the wing nut holding the guard to the motor and lower the

nose of the guard to within _" above the top surface of

the board to be cu_. Refighten the wing n_ securely.

CAUTION

The nose of the guard refers to that end of the

guard which is opposite to the end which mountsthe

anti-kickback pawl assembly. Always rlp from the

nose of the guard. See Warning [.abel on guard.

At the opposite end of the guard, loosen the wing screw

holding the anti-kickback pawl assembty and lower the

assembly until the tips of the pawls are 7/8" below the top

_Jrface of the board to be cu/_ Retighten the wing screw

IN-RIPPING--In-rip refers to aposltion 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 se-

curely. 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

the In-Rip posltiom

OUT-RIPPING-_Ouf_rip refers to aposition when the motor

is between the blade and the fence° Normally, this position

is only used when the width of the required ripped board

cannot be cut from the in-rip position. Ripped boards up to

181,_°' wide can be cut in the out_rlp position when the

fence is against the front table. If the fence is moved to the

extreme rear position against the table clamps, ripped

boards up to 25,%" wide can be cut_ To place the saw

in the out.rip position, the yoke mustbe rotated and indexed

90 ° counterclockwise from the crossocutposition and locked..

The same procedure far sawing is used except that now

the operator stands at the left side of the table and apush

stick is normally nat required°

NOTE

For added table space in front of the blade see

"Movement and Position of the Yoke".

F;gure 27 Figure 2B Figure 29

RESAWING

Resowing is the cutting of thick boards into thinner ones_ It

is a ripping operatiano See Figure 29. Smalt boards-up to

2½" maximum wldth--can be resawed in one pass; but

larger boards up to S" maximum require two passes,

one pass along each edge of the board.r When two cuts

from opposite edges are required, these should be made

to overlap _,_" from the approximate center of the board_

If the first cut is too deep, the kerf will close and bind the

saw an the second cut, with danger of kickback° Also, when

the kerf closes,the two sides of the cutare na longer parallel

to the saw blade, and the saw will cut into them to spoil

their appearance_ Keep the same face af the board against

the fence when making both cuts.

When cutting boards thicker than 4"° a fence should be used

which extends 3½" above the table topr When cutting

boards thicker than 5", cut both sides and finish the cut

wlth a hand saw_

BEVEL AND MITER CUTS

Bevel cuts can be made from either a crass-cuttingor ripping

position by tilting the blade to the desired angle. Miter cuts

can be made only from a cross-cutting position when the

blade and radial arm are at some angle other than 90 =to

the fence° A bevel miter cut is acut which is both beveled

arid mitered. This cut is made with the blade and radial arm

set at the desired miter angle to the fence and then the blade

only is tilted with respect ta the table top to the desired beve!

angle. This cut is also referred to as a compound miter, See

Figure 30_

USE OF THE DADO HEAD

The dado saw or head, as it is called, is a special set of

blades for cutting grooves and dados_ Craftsman 8" Krom.

edge Dada Set can be purchased at any Sears Retail Store

or Mall Order House. The head consistsof two autside blades

I/8" thick, six 1/8" thick chipper blades and Paper wash-

ers for' 1/t6" width adjustments. With these blades, grooves

of 1/8", 1/4", and additional widths increased in steps of

1/t6" up to a maximum of 13/16" wide can be cut. Outside

blades con be used alone, chippers cannot°

When using the moxlmum width of dado of 13/16" on

the motor shaft, the outside Ioo_e collar (Item 38, Figure 1)

must not be used. The width of the dado can be reduced

while using the loose collar and two or more passes can be

made with the work to obtain the desired width of cut°

Whenever two or more chippers are used, stagger the cut-

ting ends as evenly as possible around the clrcumference_

Fractlanat adjustments in thicknessof the head can be made

by using paper washers between the outside blades and

chippers° Dado head operations are much the same as those

with astandard blade-but the dado head takes a bigger

bite, so that the work-place should be held more firmly.

When a groove wider than the dado head is needed, make

Figure 31 Figure 32

two or mare passes_Space cuts so that they oveddp atrifle.

Dado work is done in the cross-cut position. Ploughing is

done in the ripping position. If the rip or plough position is

used the saw guard and anti-kickback pawl assembly should

be adjusted as described in the paragraph "RIPPING". Rab-

beting is done in the vertical position. See Figure 31. When

rabbeting, the motor is indexed 90 ° to the vertlcat position

so that the blades are between the table tap and the motor

and the yoke is indexed 90 oclockwiseand locked° The sow is

moved back on the radio1 arm and locked to the arm when

the amount of the blade extending forward of the fence is

equal to the depth of the rabbet desired, tf the depth of the

rabbet is large, do not attempt to cut it in one operation.

Lower the radial arm until the blades are in aposition to cut

the desired width of rabbet in the edge of the board, The

bottom of the saw guard should be parallel to the fence and

the discharge elbow directed to the rear of the sown

MOLDING OR SHAPING

Th_swork is done using the Craftsman Molding Cutter Head

and a set of cutters depending on the type of molding cut

desired. This work is done with the saw in the some position

as that described for rabbetlng_ See Figure 32. Since the

position of the cutters with respect to the fence and the

table top can be adjusted any or all of the cutter shapes

can be used.

ROUTING AND DOVETAILING

Routing and dovetailing are done with the motor indexed

and locked 90 ° from the horizanta! except that this time

the externally threaded stub end opposite the normal blade

end is between the "motor and the table top. The foffow-

ing chucks will mate with this external ½-20 thread: (See

Routing may be done by either moving the work wffh a

stationary router or by clamping the work to the table and

moving the router. Always approach the router bit from the

left hand side af the saw.

BOiUNG

Your saw can also be €onveded 1o a horZzonta| drill for

boring by using one of the recommended c_ucks ahd the

proper drill For drilling holes on an angle the radial arm

d_ould be positioned to the desired angle while the work is

parallel to the fence, See Figure34.

SANDING

Using the 10" sanding disc mounted on the saw end of the

motor, you can convert your saw into a sander which can be

operated in any position° The loose collars should be used

on both sides of the sanding disc°

STABILIZING WASHERS FOR THIN bLADES

Stabilizlng washers should be used with thin btades for

improved appearance of the finish cuts.

HELPFUL HINTS

1_ The life of the laminated saw table can be greatly length-

ened if a 1¼,,piece of plywood istacked to the table top

after leveling Then all cutting can be done in the added

plebe of plywood instead of the laminated table.

_. There is a posslbility that during or after shipment, the

wooden front tab|e; spacer board, or rear table might

became slightly warped Lay a straight edge across the

surface of the table and check for gaps or high spots on

the table. Any portions of the table which are not fiat

should be planed and sanded until flat Sanding can be

done by using one of the two key chucks referred to

under "'Routing" and aCraftsman moulded rubber 7"

with the work stationary, the arm lock pln can be pre-

vented from automotlcally indexing at 0 ° and 45 ° by

rotating the arm latch handle about 6turns counter-

clockwise from the locked position_

4. A scale may be attached to the fence to aid the oper-

at'or when measuring lengths during cToss-cutoperations.

This can be accomplished by ta_ing a yard stick to the

fence as shown° See Figure 36_

S. In the event that the fence is warped and cannot be

straightened by tightening the table clamps proceed as

follows: Removethe fence and replace with a temporary

fence made from a straight piece of scrap lumber_ Pro-

ceed to cut slot_ in the original fence where the gap

between the fence and front table was determined to be

the greatest_ See Figure 37 for slotting.

Replace the fence, after slotting, behind the front table

with the dots toward the rear and tighten the tabte

damps_

6. There are three positions in which the fence can be

located. See Figure 38.

I. Normal position.

2. Position used for maximum cross-cut an 1" material

and for greater bevel and miter capacity°

CAUTION

Rip scales cannot be used in this F_>sltlon.

3_ Position used for maximum out-Hp capQcff',/.

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°

Acut-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 damp-

lng it into position with "C °' clamps.
