MOTOR

SAFETY PROTECTION

MOUNTING

The 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.
1. If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor,
press the saw switch to the "OFF" position immediately
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 motor cover and nameplate. 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.)

TABLE SUPPORT

A WORK

BENCH

The saw should be placed on a suitable sturdy work bench,
or Craftsman Power Tool Bench. The base of the saw must
be mounted flush to a flat surface on the work 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.

ALIGNMENT

INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: The seven basic "steps" that follow are
essential in order to insure correct saw table
alignment.
WARNING:
Make sure the power cord is
not plugged into an electrical outlet when
working on the saw.

3. As soon as the red button will snap into running position,
the saw may be started and operated normally by
pressing the saw switch to the "ON"
position.
4. Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result
if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused
with a fuse other than those recommended. Do not use
a fuse of greater capacity without consulting the power
company.
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
be not less than the voltage specified on nameplate.
6. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect
connections, overloading, reduced input voltage (which
results when small size wires are used in the supply
circuit) or when the supply circuit is extremely long.
Always check connections, load and supply circuit when
the motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire
sizes and lengths with the table in the next paragraph.
IMPORTANT:
The following wire sizes are
recommended
for connecting the motor to
power source for trouble-free operation.

3. Loosen keylocking bolts (See figure 7) and insert a 3/16inch Hex-L wrench into the socket-head set-screw that
adjusts the column tube wedge key, as shown in figure 7.
Rotate the set-screw slowly in (clockwise) until no side
play can be felt in radial arm.

6. After the above adjustments have been completed, recheck the radial arm for absence of side play.
7. When all side play has been eliminated, lock the column
tube key in place by tightening keylocking bolts. (See
figure 7.)

4. Check for binding by rotating the elevation crank. If the
crank rotates with noitceable resistance, loosen the setscrew by rotating the Hex-L wrench 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.

STEP THREE--INSTALLATION

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 screws through 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.

OF FRONT TABLE

1. Place the large (front) table board upside-down on floor.
Distinguish between the one through-bored
(leveling
screw) hole near the center of the board, and the seven
counterbore holes. The counterbores are in the top surface of the board. Drive the T-nut into the through-hole.
(See figure 8 which shows the T-nut installed.)
2. With the front table board still in the upside-down position, locate the two pre-drilled screw holes near each
end of the table. Attach the two rear table support
brackets to the table with two No. 10 x 5/8-inch screws
in each bracket. (See figure 8.)
3. Place the 1/4-20 U-clip nut on the base cross member
to receive the center front table attaching screw.
4. Place the large, front table board on the table supports.
(See figure 9.)
5. Align the counterbore holes with matching holes in table
supports.
6. Place a 17/64-inch plain washer and a 1/4-20 x 1-inch
pan-head machine screw from loose parts pack in each
of the six counterbore holes located above the table
supports. Use a 1/4-20 x 1-1/4-inch pan-head machine
screw in counterbored hole at the center of the table
board.

Figure

7. Start the leveling screw into the T-nut on front table, but
do not allow the tip of the screw to protrude beyond the
bottom surface of front table.
8. Install Iockwashers and nuts on the six screws in the
table supports and tighten them finger tight. Start the
pan-head screw in the counterbored
hole near the
center of front board into the U-nut on saw base, but
leave it approximately two turns loose.
9. At this time the front table should be checked and adjusted at the center position as follows:
a. Move carriage to maximum rear position.
b. Using one edge of the rear table board as a straightedge, lay the board on the front table as shown
in figure 10.
c. Sight between edge of rear table and surface of front
table, to determine if the front table is low or high
at the center position. If front table is high, tighten
the center hold-down screw until it is level, then rotate
the leveling screw clockwise until it is "snug" against
the base front member. If the table is low at the
center, loosen the hold-down screw and rotate the
leveling screw clockwise until the front table is level,
then tighten the hold-down screw.

If not aligned, proceed as follows:

4. Place a square on the table as shown in figure 12 and
position the saw and square until the leg of the square
just contacts a tooth of the saw blade. (Position "A °',
figure 12.) Mark this tooth with crayon or chalk.
5. When the blade is moved back and forth on the radial
arm, the saw tooth "A '° should just touch the square at
all positions. If saw tooth "A" does not touch the square
at oil points, make the following adjustments:
a. If saw tooth ("A", figure 12) moves away from the
square when moving the blade from the rear toward
the front of the table, tap the rear edge of front
board with a mallet on left side forward until the
table is square with the saw blade.

a. Rotate the elevation crank to a position that will
locate the two access holes over screw heads of radial
arm cap attaching screws. (See figure 14.)
b. Loosen the two screws with a screwdriver inserted
through the access holes in elevation crank.
c. Reposition the radial arm cap by hand until the 0 °
mark is aligned with the index mark and tighten the
two attaching screws.
7. In extreme cases, due to rough handling during shipment, performing the above adjustment procedure may
not be sufficient. Make the following adjustment only
after tightening the table hold-down screws and the
cross-cut travel cannot be squared by performing the
preceding adjustment routine:
a. Using a 1/8-inch Hex-L wrench, loosen the two setscrews that lock the arm latch screws. (See figure 13.)
b. Move saw blade forward along steel square (figure
12) to determine in which direction the radial arm
must be adjusted.

b. Reverse this procedure if tooth "A" moves into the
square when moving the saw from the rear toward
the front of the table.
c. Recheck blade squareness and, if correct, tighten the
six table hold-dawn screws securely.
6. After the crass-cut travel has been accurately squared,
check the 0° position on the indicator scale of the radial
arm cap to determine if the 0 ° position on the scale is

c. If the saw blade moves away from the square as it
comes forward, loosen the front arm latch screw and
tighten the rear arm latch screw. Recheck blade
travel and repeat if necessary.
d. 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.
e. 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.
f.
Tighten the set-screws to secure the arm latch screws.
g. Adjust indicator

against the saw blade as shown in figure 15.
When the saw blade is square to the table top, no light
will be visible between the square and face of saw blade.
Do not allow the square to rest against a tooth of the
saw. If light is visible between the square and face of
saw blade (with square leg held firm against the table
top), perform the following adjustments:
a. Loosen the bevel lock knob just slightly and, with a
5/16-inch
Hex-L wrench, loosen the two sockethead screws that secure the handle to the yoke. (See
figure 16.) A screw is located at each side of the
swivel index knob.
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 to hold motor and
blade in position.
c. Move handle slightly toward left or right until swivel
index pin is properly seated. Push firmly against
swivel index knob (keeping swivel index pin seated)
and tighten the two socket-head screws. The swivel
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 screws.
d. The indicators (pointers) should read 0 ° on the bevel
scale. If not, loosen the indicator attaching screws,
adjust indicators to zero and tighten the screws
securely.

6. Rotate the lacking screw back into position to secure
the adjustment by preventing movement of index 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.

PLAY

1. Set the radial arm at 0° index position, making sure
the arm latch handle is in the detent notch, and tighten
the arm lock handle. (See figure 25.)
2. Apply side force with one hand on radial arm in both
directions. If side play exists, an adjustment is required.
3. Loosen two locking screws, insert a 3/16-inch
Hex-L
wrench into the socket-head set-screw that adjusts the
column tube wedge key, as shown in figure 25. Rotate
the set-screw slowly in (clockwise) until no side play can
be felt in radial arm.

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
attaching
screws.

4. Check for binding by rotating the elevation crank. If the
crank rotates with noticeable resistance, loosen the setscrew by rotating the Hex-L wrench 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.

2. Loosen the yoke clamp arm (figure 27), lift up on the
swivel latch pin knob and rotate the yoke approximately
45 ° counterclockwise
(when viewed from above) to position the cutout portion
of the yoke below the rear carriage bearing,
thus providing
room for the wrench on
the nut.

3. Working on the rear bearing (figure 27), loosen the nut
just enough to permit the eccentric screw to turn and
rotate it a partial turn (left or right) as required to take
up all looseness. Hold the eccentric screw and tighten
the nut. The adjustment is correct when there is no "'play'"
between the carriage and radial arm, yet the carriage
moves relatively free on the tracks.

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 screws through 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 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.
6. After all adjustments have been completed, recheck the
radial arm for absence of side play.

ADJUSTMENT

The normal locking position of the yoke clamp arm (1, figure

be necessary; however, it may be accomplished as follows:
1. Loosen the carriage lock knob (4, figure 23), move the
carriage out to the forward end of radial arm and tighten
carriage lock knob.
2. Locate the yoke clamp stud locking screw at the rear of
the yoke assembly. (See figure 26.)
3. Turn the locking screw outward at least 1/4-inch from
tight position. This frees the index plate (figure 26/which
is keyed to the yoke clamp stud, thus permitting the stud
to be rotated when the yoke clamp arm is loosened.

CROSS-CUTTING
Cross-cutting is the sawing of wood across the grain. Boards
are sawed with the grain running the length of the board. 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 30.)
CAUTION: Make sure the guard chute is in the
maximum raised position before turning on
the motor.

Figure

NOTE: When cross-cutting 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
the sawing operation.
1. The radial arm' must be positioned at 0 ° as indicated
by the radial arm position indicator. The arm latch handle
must be indexed and arm lock handle tightened. (Refer
to paragraph entitled "Angular Movement and Locking
of the Radial Arm".)

Hold the board firmly against the rip fence with the left
hand and grasp the handle with the right hand.

9. The cut is then made by pulling the carriage forward
until saw blade cuts through the work. When the cut
is complete, the saw should be returned to the back of
the radial arm and the switch turned "OFF". When
more experience is gained by using the saw, it will
be noticed that when pulling the saw forward during cross-cutting, 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 wrist. After using
this method a few times, the operator will find that it is
necessary to roll or rotate the body from the waist up.
It will soon become apparent that very little effort is
required to move the saw blade through the work, and
in most cases, the right arm is used merely to control
the rate of feed. It will also be discovered that when
cross-cutting a thick board, movement of the saw
through the work must be retarded. By holding the right
arm /right hand normally grips the saw handle) straight,
the operator can easily control the rate of feed, thus
preventing the saw blade from overfeeding and stalling
the saw motor, which must be avoided whenever pos-

2. The yoke must be indexed at the 0 ° position, making
the saw blade perpendicular to the rip fence, and the
yoke clamp arm placed in locked position.
3. The motor must be positioned at 0 °, as indicated by
the bevel scale, and locked.
4. Turn the elevation crank to lower the saw until the blade
teeth are approximately
1/32 pr below the table surface
and ride in the saw slot made when performing the
"PRELIMINARY CROSS-CUT AT THE 0 ° POSITION".
5. Push the saw carriage to the rear of the radial arm so
the blade is behind the rip fence.
6. Adjust the anti-kickback pawl assembly so it clears the
board to be cut.
7. Turn the switch key "ON'"
to start the saw motor.

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, use a push stick in
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. (See figure 31.)

sible. In some cases it may become necessary to cross-cut
boards that extend over the saw table on one, or both
sides. This can buckle the board and bind the saw during
the cut. To eliminate this condition the ends of the board
should be supported. Figure 31 shows a typical support
that can be easily constructed to facilitate cross-cutting
of long boards.

OUT-RIPPING.
"Out-rip'*
refers to a position when the
motor is between the blade and the fence. Normally, this
position is used only when the width of the required ripped
board cannot be cut from the in-rip position. To place the
saw in the "out-rip" position, the yoke must be rotated and
indexed 90 ° counterclockwise from the cross-cut position
and locked. The same procedure for pre-setting the table
top (see "In-Ripping")
and adjusting the chute and antikickback pawl assembly (see "Ripping") should be followed.
The same procedure for sawing is used except that now the
operator stands at the left side of the table and a push
stick is normally not required.

RIPPING
Ripping is sawing wood with the grain. It is always done
with the help of the fence as a guide to position the board
and produce the desired width of cut. 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 to prevent
"wobble" or "rock". A straight edge should be provided,
even if it means temporary nailing of an auxiliary straightedge board to the work. If the work piece is warped, turn
the hollow side downward on the saw table.

RESAWlNG

The guard
chute and anti-kickback
pawl
assembly
must
always
be used in ripping
operations.
Before ripping,
and
after the saw has been positioned
prior to sawing, the chute

Resawing is cutting thick boards into thinner ones. It is
actually a ripping operation. (See figure 33.) Small boards
up to 2-inches maximum width can be resawed in one
pass. Larger boards up to 4-inches maximum width require
two passes, one along each edge of the board. When two
cuts from opposite edges are required, they should overlap
1/2-inch from the approximate center of the board. If the
first cut is too deep, the kerf will close and bind the saw
on the second cut, with some danger of "kickback".
Also,
when the kerf closes, the two sides of the cut are no longer
parallel to the saw blade, and the saw will cut into them
and spoil accuracy and appearance. Keep the same face
of the board against the fence when making both cuts.

and anti-kickback
pawl assembly must be properly
adjusted.
Loosen the chute clamp knob and lower the chute to just
clear the top surface of the board to be cut, and tighten
the chute clamp knob securely.
CAUTION:
The guard chute is at the end of
the guard which is opposite
to the end which
mounts the anti-kickback
pawl
assembly.
Always rip from the chute end of the guard. Never
adjust the chute with the motor running.

IN-RIPPING. "In-rip"
refers to a position when the saw
blade is between the motor and fence, parallel to the fence.
(See figure 32.) To place the saw in this positior., unlock the
yoke, disengage the swivel index knob and rotate the yoke
90 ° clockwise (viewing it from the carriage) until the swivel
latch pin automatically indexes the yoke at 90 ° . Lock the
yoke securely. Position the carriage on radial arm to provide
proper width of cut by measuring from edge of saw blade
to rip fence with a scale. Position the discharge elbow on
the guard so that sawdust will be blown toward the rear.
Turn the saw "ON" and lower the radial arm until saw
blade cuts into the table top approximately
1/32-inch and
turn the saw "OFF". Adjust the saw guard and anti-kickback
pawl assembly as described previously.

When cutting boards thicker than 3-1/2 inches, a fence
should be used which extends 3-inches above the table top.
When cutting boards thicker than 4-1/2-inches, cut both
sides and finish the cut with a hand saw.

BEVEL AND

MITER

CUTS

Bevel cuts can be made from either a cross-cutting or 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 a cut which is both beveled
and mitered. This cut is made with the blade and radial
arm set at the desired miter angle to the fence, then the
blade (only) is tilted, with respect to the table top, to the
desired bevel angle. This cut is usually referred to as a
compound miter. (See figure 34.)

USE OF THE

DADO

HEAD

The dado saw (or head) is a special set of blades for cutting
grooves and dados. The Craftsman 8-inch Kromedge Dado
Set may be purchased at any Sears Retail Store or Catalog
Order House. The complete head consists of two outside
blades 1/8-inch thick, six chipper blades 1/8-inch thick
and paper washers for 1/16-inch width adjustments. With
these blades, grooves may be made in widths of 1/8-inch,
1/4-inch, and additional
widths in steps increased by
1/16-inch each, up to a maximum of 13/16-inch. Outside
blades may be used alone, but chippers cannot be used
alone. When the maximum 13/16-inch width of dado is
used on the motor shaft, the outside loose collar must not
be used. The width of the dado can be reduced while using
the loose collar and two or more passes may be made with
the work to obtain the desired width of cut. Whenever two
or more chippers are used, the cutting ends should be
staggered as evenly as possible around the circumference.
Fractional adjustments in thickness of the head can be
made by using paper washers between the outside blades
and chippers.

Figure 35

Dado head operations are essentially the same as those
operations using a standard saw blade--but
the dado
head takes a bigger bite, therefore, the work-piece should
be held more firmly. When a groove wider than the dado
head is needed, make two or more passes, with cuts spaced
to overlap a trifle. Dado work is performed in the cross-cut
position. Ploughing is done in the ripping position. If the
rip or plough position is used, the saw guard and antikickback pawl assembly should be adjusted as described
in the paragraph "RIPPING". Rabbeting is done with the
motor shaft in a vertical position. (See figure 35.) When
rabbeting, the motor is indexed 90 ° to the vertical position
so the blades are between the table top and motor, and
the yoke is indexed 90 ° clockwise and locked. The saw
is moved back on the radial 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. If the
depth of the rabbet is large, do not attempt to cut it in one
operation. Lower the radial arm until blades are in a
position to cut the desired width of rabbet in the edge of
the board. The discharge elbow should be directed to the
rear of the saw.

7. Install saw blade and guard assembly.

ROUTING

AND

HELPFUL

DOVETAILING

Routing and dovetailing are accomplished with the motor
indexed and locked 90 ° from horizontal, except that this
time the externally threaded stub end (opposite the normal
blade end) is between the motor and table top. The following chucks will mate, with this external 1/2-20 thread.
(See figure 38.)

The life of the composition saw table may be greatly
lengthened if a 1/4-inch piece of plywood is tacked to
the table top after leveling. Then all cutting would be
done in the added piece of plywood instead of the
table top.

There is a possibility that during (or after) shipment, the
wood front table; spacer board; or rear table might
become 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 that are not flat
should be planed and sanded until flat. Sanding can be
done by using one of the two key chucks referred to
under "ROUTING"
and a Craftsman moulded rubber
6-inch sanding disc.

When sanding the table top or routing with the work
stationary, the arm latch handle may be prevented from
automatically indexing by raising it to the vertical position. (See figure 40.)

A scale may be attached to the fence to aid the operator
when measuring lengths during cross-cut operations. This
is accomplished by tacking a yard stick to the fence as
shown. (See figure 41.)

In the event the fence is warped and cannot be straightened by tightening the table clamps, proceed as follows:

0-inch to 1/4-inch Chuck
5/64-inch to 1/2-inch Key Chuck
The following

touters and dovetails are recommended:

Routing may be performed by either moving the work with
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 of the saw.

BORING
The saw may be converted to a horizontal drill for boring
by removing the manual brake assembly and using one of
the recommended chucks and proper drill. For drilling holes
on an angle, the radial arm should be positioned to the
desired angle while the work is parallel to the fence. (See
figure 39.) Be sure to install the brake assembly when boring
operations have been completed.

a. Remove the fence and replace it with a temporary
fence made from a straight piece of scrap lumber.
Proceed to cut slots in the original fence where the
gap between the fence and front table was determined to be the greatest. (See figure 42 for slotting
arrangement.)

SANDING
Using the sanding disc, mounted on motor shaft, the saw
may be converted into a sander that will operate in any
position. (See figure 40.)

b. Replace the fence (after slotting) behind the front
table with the slots toward the rear and tighten the
table clamps.

9. An auxiliary table top for molding or shaping may be
constructed similar to the one shown in figure 44. Notice
the shape of the back guide fence which has a cut-out
5-inches wide at the center to provide adequate clearance for the molding head and cutters. Also, a wider
clearance (marked "A") should be cut out to allow for
the saw motor. Make sure the front edge of the auxiliary
table is parallel with the forward surface of the guide
fence. The auxiliary table top can be attached to a
work bench with "C '° clamps.

INSTRUCTIONS
Be sure to read the following instructions carefully
operating the saw.

TO OPERATOR

before

the work firmly against the fence. Use a push stick or
board when ripping short work (under 12-inches long),
or narrow work.

WARNING:
Do not connect power cord
until the following steps have been satisfactorily completed:

11. Never hang onto or touch the free end of workpiece or
a free piece that is cut off, while power is on.

a. Assembly and Installation.

12. 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
not supporting.

b. Examination and operating familiarity with ON-OFF
switch, elevation control, bevel control, rip control,
and miter control.
c. Review and understanding
dures which follow.

of the operating

proce-

13. 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.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cord
when changing the cutting tool, changing the
set-up, or making adjustments.

14. 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 tool with either hand to hold down the
workpiece.

ALWAYS return the carriage to the full rear
position after each crosscut type operation.
1. The saw should be bolted down if there is any tendency
to tip over or move during normal operations. The
saw table should be approximately
39-inches above
the floor.
2. Set carriage

15. Always position the dust chute and the anti-kickback
pawls for rip type operations. Also make sure the cutting
tool, arbor collars and arbor nut are installed properly;
Keep guards in place; use the proper guard.

3. Raise front of arm by placing a one-inch thick board
under the two front legs so the carriage will not roll
forward due to gravity.
4. Use only accessories that are designed for this machine.

16. 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 designed,
since under these conditions the spreader is nearest
the blade.

5. The saw work area should have adequate overhead,
non-glare Jight and adequate surrounding work space.
6. 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.
7. A large proportion
of saw accidents is caused by dull,
badly set, improperly
filed cutting tools, and by gum
or resin adhering
to cutting tools. Such conditions
cause
the material to stick, jam, stall the saw, or kick-back
at

17. 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 materials including metals, stone, and glass.)

Cracked saw blades should be discarded
immediately.
A saw blade
can become cracked
if it
wobbles or if it is not in balance.
Avoid potential

and

maintenance.

18. Do not position the arm so the operation you are
performing permits the cutting tool to extend beyond
the edges of the table.

8. 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.

19. Safety is a combination of operator common sense and
alertness at all times when the saw is being used.

9. Goggles
or an eye shield should always be used. Ear
protectors
(ear plugs or muffs) should be used during
extended
periods
of operation.

WARNING:
Do not allow
familiarity
(gained from frequent
use of your saw)
to become commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict severe injury.

10. Provide proper support for the workpiece, based on its
size and the type of operation to be performed; hold
