WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THESAW

1. To avoid injury from unexpected carriage travel,lock the rip lock handle before moving the saw.

2. To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:

(a) Bolt the saw to the floor if it tends to slip,walk, or slide during normal operation.

(b) When table extensions over 24" wide areadded to either side of the saw, make sure

you either bolt the saw to the floor or supportthe outer end of the extension from the floor

as appropriate.

3. To avoid injury from unexpected carriage traveladjust leveling feet so the arm tilts slightlydownward to the rear so that the carriage will notroll forward due to gravity. Forward drift of thecarriage on an improperly leveled saw couldcause the blade to lunge forward due to un-

expected contact with the workpiece, fence,table or part of your body.

BEFORE EACH USE

Plan your work.

-- To avoid injury from accidental starting, alwaysremove the plug from the outlet, turn the switchoff and remove the switch key before removingthe guard, changing the cutting tool, changingthe setup or making adjustments.

-- To avoid injury from blade contact, slips, shocks,thrown pieces, etc., check the saw to make sure

that no parts are missing or broken, bent, or havefailed in any way, or any electrical componentfails to perform properly. Shut off power switch,pull the plug from the outlet and replace damaged,missing and/or failed parts before resumingoperation.

-- To avoid injury from electrical shock, make sureyour fingers do not contact the terminals wheninstalling or removing the plug to or from a liveoutlet.

-- Check the fence for proper workpiece support. Toavoid fence breakage which could result in thrownworkpieces and blade contact, do not use fencesmade of particle board or other compositematerials - use 3/4" thick lumber long enough to

extend in one piece from end to end of the sawtable, and tall enough to be at least even with thetop of the workpiece. Replace any fence whereexisting slots in the fence have weakened thefence or can snag the workpiece during rippingoperations. Always check table locks to makesu re any new fence is held secu rely(see page 18).

--Choose your cutting tool carefully. Many sawaccidents are caused by use of the wrong typeblade, dull, badly set, improperly sharpened cut-ting tools, gum or resin adhering to the cuttingtools, and by blade misalignment with the sawfence. Such conditions can cause the material to

stick, jam (stall the saw), throw or "kickback" theworkpiece at the operator.

-- To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrapnel(broken pieces of blade), use only blades or other

cutting tools marked for operating speeds 3450rpm or higher. Never use a cutting tool larger indiameter than the diameter for which the saw was

designed.

--q-o avoid jamming of the blade, thrown work-pieces, and damage to the blade collars, neveruse a broken, warped, or unbalanced blade. Donot overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor wrenches to"snug" it securely.

-- To avoid injury from accidental blade contact bythe workpiece or the operator do not performlayout, assembly, or setup work on the table

while the cuttingtool is rotating.The rotatingtool could cut and throw anything hitting thebladecausingthe saw to unexpectedlycomeforward.

-- Usetherightguard.Toavoidlosingcontroloftheworkpiece,hittingthecuttingtool,orbeingstruckbythrownpieces,neverdoanycuttingunlesstheproperguard(withall itspartsinplace)isinstalledandadjustedproperly.

-- To avoid injury from uncontrollablereactionorthrownobjects,neverturn thesaw"ON" beforeclearingthetableor worksurfaceof all objects(tools,scrapsof wood,etc.)exceptthe properlysupportedworkpieceandrelatedfeedorsupportdevicesfor theoperationplanned.

WHENEVER THE SAW IS RUNNING

-- Always keep alert. Do not allow familiarity (gainedfrom frequent use of your saw) to cause a carelessmistake. Always remember that a careless fraction

of a second is sufficient to inflict severe, permanentinjury.

If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if itvibrates excessively, stop the operation immedi-

ately. Do not restart until the source has beenlocated and the problem corrected.

Do not cycle the motor switch "ON" and "OFF"rapidly, as this might cause the sawblade toloosen, tn the event this should ever occur, turnthe switch off, allow the sawblade to come to acomplete stop, and remove the switch key. To

avoid damage to the blade and flange, retightenthe arbor nut normally, not excessively.

-- Never perform any operation freehand. Injury canoccur from blade contact or thrown pieces when

the workpiece is torn from the hands. "Freehand"means feeding the sawblade into a workpiece orfeeding the workpiece into the sawblade or othercutting tool without using the fence or some otherproper device to prevent the workpiece fromtwisting and binding on the cutting tool during thecutting operation.

-- To avoid accidental blade contact, avoid awkward

hand positions where a sudden slip causes a handto move toward the sawblade or other cuttingtool. Do not place fingers or hand on the work-piece or table that is in the path of the sawblade.

-- To avoid being pulled into the back of the bladebefore you can let go or react, never reach in backof, or around the cutting tool, with either hand tohold down the workpiece or for any reason.

-- To avoid injury from unexpected starting, neverattempt to free a stalled sawblade without firstturning the saw "OFF" and removing the switchkey. If the sawblade is stalled or jammed, shut thesaw "OFF", remove the switch key, remove theworkpiece, check for looseness in clamps, armand carriage, check the sawblade squareness tothe table surface and to the fence, and check for

heel (see page 20). Adjust as indicated.

-- To avoid injury from falling parts or from fallinginto the saw, never climb on or near the saw when

its power is "ON". Never leave the saw area whenpower is "ON", or before the cutting tool hascome to a complete stop.

-- To avoid unauthorized saw use, remove the switch

key and put the key away before leaving the sawarea.

BEFORE STARTING A RIPPING TYPE CUT

To avoid injury from being struck by a thrownworkpiece, position the saw so neither you, ahelper, or a casual observer is forced to stand inline with the sawblade or workpiece.

Whenever possible, use the "in-rip" position. (Seepage 31.) This provides maximum clearance forfeeding by hand, push stick, or push block asappropriate.

To avoid thrown workpieces or being pulled intothe saw before you can react, push the workpiece

fromthenoseside(oppositethesawdustexhaustchute) of the guard. Note the warningon theguard.

INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE

-- To keep the sawblade from rising up on top of theworkpiece and throwing it back at the operator,when sawing 1/4" or thinner materials, follow allnormal ripping procedures except set sawblade

into the table top at least 1/8".

-- To avoid kickback, use extra care when rippingwood that has a twisted grain or is twisted orbowed - it may rock on the table and/or pinch thesawblade. If the workpiece cannot be made stable

against the fence and table top, do not cut it with aradial arm saw.

-- To avoid blade contact and/or kickback, use a

push stick when ripping short (10 to 12 incheslong) or narrow (2 to 6-1/2 inches wide) work-pieces. Usea push block as illustrated on page 30for pieces 3/8 to 2 inches wide or, whereverpossible, place the wider section of the boardbetween the fence and the blade.

--To avoid kickbacks never feed a workpiece _-through the saw with another piece (butting _"_---_.,...

second piece against trailing end of piece being --_ =cut) even if of the same thickness, oo +-,

-- To keep control of your workpiece, never rip work --shorter than the blade diameter.

-- For rip or rip-type cuts, the trailing end of theworkpiece to which a push stick or push board isapplied must be square (perpendicular to thefence and table top) so that feed pressure appliedto the workpiece by the push stick or push blockwill not cause the workpiece to come away fromthe fence or rise from the table and possibly causea kickback.

--Plastic and composition (like particle board)materials may be cut on your saw. However, sincethese are often quite hard and slippery, the anti-kickback pawls may not stop a kickback. To getbest performance, rip with the finished side down(next to the table) and the roughest side up, andbe especially attentive to follow proper set up andcutting procedures.

WHILE DOING A RIP TYPE OPERATION

-- Never reach around the blade to the outfeed side

to touch the portion of workpiece beyond theblade until the whole workpiece has been pushedbeyond and clear of the blade. Your touch couldcause a kickback which could strike someone or

pull your hand into the rear (outfeed side) of theblade before you can let go or react.

-- Position your body at the nose (in-feed) side ofthe guard. Start and complete the cut from thatsame side. This will require added table supportfor long or wide workpieces that extend beyondthe length or width of the saw table to preventworkpiece from being thrown as it falls from thetable.

-- Never apply the feed force to the section of theworkpiece that will become the cutoff (free)

piece. Feed force when ripping must always beapplied between the sawblade and the fence sothat the slot cut by the blade (kerf) will not bepinched shut on the blade causing a kickback.Never touch the piece that has been cut off untilthe blade has come to a complete stop.

--Keep pushing the section of the workp_ecebetween the blade and the fence until the piecehas been pushed completely past the blade, so

the blade will not grab the piece and throw it backat the operator.

BEFORE DOING A CROSSCUT TYPE CUT

--To avoid blade contact, do not perform anyoperation that requires the cutting tool to extendbeyond the edges of the table used for supportingthe workpiece.

--To maximize protection from accidental bladecontact and reduce risk of jamming objects intothe guard, place guard in a horizontal positionand adjust anti-kickback pawls to just clear thetop of the fence or the workpiece, whichever ishigher. The anti-kickback pawl assembly will

provideadditionalguardingfromcontactwiththefront of theblade.

--To preventthe cutting tool from grabbingthetable or workpieceand beingpropelledtowardyou,neverlowerarevolvingcuttingtool into thetableor aworkpiecewithoutfirst lockingtheriplockhandleandclampingtheworkpieceinplace.Releasethe handle only after having firmlygraspedthecarriagehandle.

-- Toavoidbladecontactor injuryfromathrowncutoff piece,neverusea lengthstopon the cut offendoredgeoftheworkpiece.Neverhangontoortouchthecutoff pieceoftheworkpiecewhilethepoweris"ON"and/orthesawbladeisrotating.Topreventpinchingthatcouldcausethepieceto bethrown,thecut off piecemustneverbeconfined,pushed,or grabbedwhilethebladeisspinning.

INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE

--To avoid injury from thrown objects, slips orjamming of the blade, make sure the workpiecewill fit the supports (fence, table, fixtures or jigs)so it will not twist, rock or otherwise bind on the

cutting tool. Make sure there is no sawdust orother foreign material between theworkpieceandits support.

WHILE DOING A CROSSCUT TYPE CUT

--Always start with the carriage in the full rearposition behind the fence before turning the sawon.

-- Never push the carriage and blade backwardsinto the work to do a crosscutting type operation.The cutting tool can throw the work over thefence, striking someone or causing you to fall intothe blade.

--Always return the carriage to the full rearwardposition behind the fence at the completion of

each crosscut type operation. Never remove yourhand from the yoke handle unless the carriage isin this position. Otherwise, the cutting tool mayclimb up on the workpiece and be propelledtoward you.

BEFORE USING ACCESSORIES

To avoid injury from unanticipated hazards, use

only recommended accessories as listed on page43.

The use of grinding wheels, abrasive or cut offwheels, or wire wheels, can be dangerous and arenot recommended. Such devices can break ex-

plosively and throw shrapnel, causing severeinjury.

Thesawblade, dado, orothercutting tool must beremoved from the saw arbor before using the

accessory shaft. Never operate the saw withcutting tools (including sanding accessories orbuffing) installed on both ends of the sawarbortoavoid being pulled into moving parts by hair,threads, clothing, etc. Make sure the unusedarbor is always covered by a guard, the arm, or the

screw cap.

Using a drill chuck. To avoid injury from suddenbending or breaking of a drill bit, do not install oruse twist drills longer than 7" in length or extend-

ing more than 6" beyond the chuck jaws. Do notinstall or use any reduced shank drill except thespade type (!" diameter or smaller). Use fordrilling wood or plastic only - bit speed cannot beproperly adjusted for other materials. Do not usetwist drills larger than 1/2" in diameter.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTIONCAUTION: TO AVOID MOTOR DAMAGE THISMOTOR SHOULD BE BLOWN OUTOR VACUUMEDFREQUENTLY TO PREVENT SAWDUST BUILD-UP WHICH WILL INTERFERE WITH NORMALMOTOR VENTILATION.

1. This tool should be connected toa 120V, 15Ampbranch circuit with a 15 Amp time delay fuse orcircuit breaker. Failure to use the proper sizefuse can result in damage to the motor.

2. If the motor fails to start, turn the power switch tothe "OFF" position immediately. UNPLUG THETOOL. Check the saw blade to insure that it turns

freely and that its teeth are not wedged into thetable top. After the blade has been freed, try tostart the motor again. If, at this point, the motorstill fails to start, refer to the "Motor Trouble-

Shooting Chart."

3. If the motor should suddenly stall while cuttingwood, the power switch should be turned off, thetool unplugged and the blade freed from thewood. The motor may now be restarted and thecut finished.

4. Frequent "blowing" of fu£e£ or tripping of circuitbreakers may result if:

(a) MOTOR IS OVERLOADED - Overloading canoccur if you feed too rapidly or if saw ismisaligned so that the blade heels (pg. 19,20).

(b) MOTOR CIRCUIT tS FUSED DIFFERENTLYFROM RECOMMENDATIONS - Always follow

instructions for the proper fuse/breaker. Donot use a fuse/breaker of greater capacitywithout consulting a qualified electrician.

(c) LOW VOLTAGE - Although the motor isdesigned for operation on the voltage andfrequency specified on motor nameplate,normal loads will be handled safely on vol-

tages not more than 10% above or below thenameplate voltage. Heavy loads, however,require that voltage at motor terminals equalsthe voltage specified on nameplate.

5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose orincorrect connections, overloading, reducedinput voltage (such as small size wire in thesupply circuit) or to overly long supply circuitwire. Always check the connections, the loadand the supply circuit whenever motor fails toperform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes andlength with the Wire Size Chart below.

WIRE SIZES

The use of any extension cord will cause some lossof power. To keep this to a minimum and to preventover-heating and motor burn-out, use the tablebelow to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G_)

extension cord. Use only 3 wire extension cordswhich have 3 prong grounding type plugs and 3-polereceptacles which accept the tools plug.

CAUTION: For circuits that are farther away fromelectrical service box, the wire size must be increased

proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage tothe saw motor.

(c) Carefully retighten upper two (2) 1/4-20 socketset screws alternating from left side to rightside so as not to force arm out of adjustment,

(d)

(e)

Recheck blade travel. Adjust arm position asneeded by readjusting upper screws only.

Once arm position is good, tighten lower 1/4-20 socket set screws. Do not overtighten.Check elevating handwheel for ease of rota-tion. If rotating handwheel is difficult, re-adjust socket set screw tightness as needed.

NOTE: The life of your saw table will be lengthenedconsiderably if you will cover the front table with afitted piece of 1/4 inch plywood. This should betacked in place for easy replacement. Use of such acover will allow you to do all cutting into the cover,rather than your table top. This will help preventdulling of the saw blade and striking table mountinghardware. Place tacks out of the path of the sawblade.

b. Clockwise rotation raises the blade . . .counterclockwise rotation lowers it. Onecomplete turn of the handle will raise or lowerthe saw blade 1/16 inch.

c. Handle can be folded in when not in use.

2. Angle of Cut (Miter)

Proper Indexing Method - Experienced operators ofwoodworking equipment such as this CraftsmanRadial Saw, acquire the habit of indexing in onedirection only, whenever a new setting is made inpreparation for a different operation.

Example: When moving the arm to a miter indexposition move it slightly past the desired indexposition, then return to the index position carefullyto index and lock. Yoke indexing and bevel indexingcan be accomplished in a similar manner. Thisindexing technique tends to neutralize any stressesimpaired upon saw components and contributes tothe high degree of accuracy the saw is capable ofproducing when operated expertly.

a. The miter lock handle locks, unlocks andindexes the arm for left and right miter cuts.

NOTE: For safety reasons stops have been providedto prevent 360 ° rotation of the radial arm.

b. The radial arm has positive index positions at0° and 45 ° left and right. The arm is rotated bypulling the miter lock handle from left to rightand releasing the index pin. Move the arm tothe desired miter angle and push the miterlock handle back to the lock position.

3. Yoke Swivel (Ripping)

a. Swivel lock handle is to lock, unlock and indexthe yoke swivel adjustment.

b. The yoke swivel index pin automaticallyindexes the yoke at 90° position. Pull theswivel lock handle forward to unlock the yoke,continue to pull this handle until the index pinis released.

C. The swivel lock handle locks the yoke to thecarriage in any position. Pull the handle for-ward to release the yoke; push the handlerearward to secure the yoke.

4. Rip Position Lock

a. The rip lock handle is pushed rearward to lock

the carriage on the radial arm and pulledforward to release it.

b. When performing crosscutting operations, therip lock handle must be released so the carriageis free to travel along the arm. The lock handleshould be tightened until the operator is readyto grasp the yoke handle and make a cut.

This adjustment is necessary to:

1) Protect the operator from accidentally con-tacting the sawblade from the "infeed"direction

2) Prevent the workpiece from being liftedfrom the table by the sawblade thus mini-mizing lifting or fluttering (particularly withthin and/or light workpieces).

3) Minimize sawdust from being thrown towardthe operator.

The anti-kickback and spreader assembly isadjustable to accommodate the thickness ofthe board being ripped.

For ripping the anti-kickback and spreader

assembly is positioned by loosening the wingscrew and, with the tab provided, positioningthe anti-kickback and spreader assembly untilthe pawls assume approximately the positionshown. Tighten the wing screw.

Make sure by trial - without saw running -before starting the cut that the anti-kickbackpawls will stop a kickback once it has started.

Insert workpiece alongside spreader underouter set of pawls byapproaching pawls in thefeed direction. Push workpiece sharply in thedirection of a kickback (opposite direction offeed). Readjust pawls if they do not stop thekickback motion by biting into the workpiece.

If the leading edge of the workpiece does not

feed smoothly under the pawls, the spreadermay be set too deeply. Loosen the wing screw,raise the spreader slightly, retighten the screw,recheck workpiece in-feed and kickback pawlfunction.

These adjustments when properly made will:

1) Reduce possibility of kickbacks by prevent-ing the kerf from closing on the sawblacle.

2) Prevent "wrong-way feed". "Wrong-wayfeed" is feeding the workpiece - when thesawblade is in a rip position - into the outfeed side of the cutting tool (sawblade,dado, molding head, etc), the side contain-ing the anti-kickback pawls/spreader. Thiscan be extremely hazardous because thesawblade may grab the workpiece and throw

"Wrong-way feed" differs from kickback". A"kickback" is generated by the sides (one orboth) of the teeth, because of binding

between the fence (heel), pinching of thesides of the sawblade (failure to usespreader), a dull blade, and/or inadequateset of teeth of sawblade.

basic saw operationWARNING: TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULDCAUSE SERIOUS PERMANENT INJURY, OBSERVEALL THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS IN ADDI-TION TO THOSE ON PAGES 2-6.

Basic saw operations are summarized in six cate-gories, explained and illustrated in the followingparagraphs.

NOTE: Refer to paragraphs under "Location andFunction of Controls" for illustrations and descrip-tion of controls. Page 23.

CUTTING A KERF IN THE WORK TABLEAND FENCE

NOTE: The life of your saw table will be lengthenedconsiderably if you will cover the front table with afitted piece of 1/4 inch plywood. This should betacked in place for easy replacement. Use of such acover will allow you to do all cutting into the cover,rather than your table top. This will help preventdulling of the saw blade and striking table mountinghardware. Place tacks out of the path of the sawblade.

1. Elevate arm so that the blade clears the top of thefence and then push the motor to its mostrearward position.

2. Lower the arm so that the blade just clears therear table. Note: The rear table should be at the

same level as the front table (see "Leveling FrontWork Table", page 16). If front table cover isused, set blade so that it just clears the front tableboard cover.

3. Lock the rip lock handle and check to make sure

carriage is locked in place. Plug saw into agrounded outlet. (See section titled, "ElectricalConnections", page 7.)

4. Insert the yellow key into switch and, whileholding the yoke handle, turn the switch on.

5. With the motor on, turn the elevation handlecounterclockwise to lower the sawblade to where

it just cuts into the table approximately 1/32 to1/16 inch deep. While holding the yoke handleand with motor still on, unlock the rip lock handleand then pull the motor forward and out to thefront stop on the arm. This will allow the blade tocut through the fence and to cut ashallow kerf inthetable 1/32to 1/16 inch deepto provide for the

blade cutting completely through the workpiece.

NOTE:A kerfwill have to be cut into the table priortomakJng any thru cutting operation using this pro-cedure.

REQUIREMENTS FOR CROSSCUTTINGTYPE OPERATIONS(Operations 1 through 4)

Always position the workpiece firmly against ripfence (guide) and lay it flat on work table surface.

NOTE: To maintain table strength, workpiece

stability, control forward motor of carriage, andavoid accidents, always:

1. Use only blades that are sharp, correctly set andundamaged.

27

2. Make sure the arbor nut is snug.

3. Clamp the guard in a horizontal position.

4. Lock the swivel lock handle. Make sure it is firmlylocked. (See page 24.)

5. Hold work firmly against table and fence. Toavoid tipping or throwing of workpieces thicker

than the fence is high, install a higher fence (atleast workpiece thickness). Always place thefence in the most forward position (farthest fromthe column support) compatible with the work-

piece being processed and the operation beingperformed. With the carriage fully retracted, theblade must not contact the workpiece whenplaced against the fence, within the stated capa-cities of you r saw. Do not confine the cutoff piecewith your hand, length stop or any other item.The blade could throw it, causing an accident.

6. Keep hands well away from saw blade. Do not

place hands where sudden blade or workpiecemovement could cause hand to slip into the pathof the blade. Always keep the hand holding theworkpiece visible at all times.

10.

Lock the bevel lock handle. Make sure it is firmlylocked. (See page 25.)

Adjust the elevation so blade will cut into thetable cover or table not more than 1/32 inch.

To adjust the anti-kickback and spreader assem-bly so the pawls just clear the workpiece and thefence. (See page 26.)

Pull saw forward just enough to cut the lumber intwo, and then return the saw to its full rearposition. It is dangerous to pull blade too far outbeyond the piece being cut. When it is returned itcan pick up the board and throw it over the fence.

OPERATION NO. 1 - CROSSCUT

Crosscutting is the process of sawing across thewidth of the workpiece by pulling the saw bladethrough it and using the fence as a support for theedge of the workpiece. Never crosscut free-hand.

WARNING: YOU WILL NOTICE THAT WHEN PULL-ING THE SAW BLADE TOWARD YOU DURINGCROSSCUTTING THE BLADE TENDS TO FEEDITSELF THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. THIS ISDUE TO THE ROTATION OF THE BLADE. TOCONTROL THIS YOU SHOULD DEVELOP THEHABIT HOLDING YOUR RIGHT FOREARM IN LINEWITH THE ARM OF THE SAW THROUGHOUT THECUT. ALSO MAKE SURE THE CARRIAGE BEAR-INGS ARE ADJUSTED PROPERLY SO CARRIAGEDOESN'T TRAVEL TOO FREELY.

OPERATION NO. 2 - MITER CROSSCUT

Miter crosscutting is the process of sawing acrossthe width of a workpiece at any angle other than a90 ° (square) cut. The 45 ° miter angle is a popularone, since two boards cut to 45 ° can be assembledto form a 90 ° corner for producing a square or

OPERATION NO. 3 - BEVEL CROSSCUT

Bevel crosscutting is the process of sawing at 90 °(square) across the width of a workpiece with thesaw blade set to an angle other than 90 ° to the table.The radial arm and yoke are indexed at 0 ° andlocked securely in place. The bevel is set to thedesired angle of cut and locked. The workpiecebeing cut is positioned and held firmly against thefence and the carriage is pulled forward along theradial arm just far enough to complete the cut. Thecarriage should then be returned to the full rearposition and locked. Allow the saw blade to come to

a stop before removing the workpieces from the sawtable.

OPERATION NO. 4 -COMPOUND CROSSCUT

Compound crosscut is the combination of miter andbevel crosscut. The radial arm and the angle of the

blade are set to produce the desired cut - the yoke isindexed at 0 ° and locked. The workpiece is posi-tioned and held firmly against the fence and thecarriage is pulled forward along the radial arm justfar enough to complete the cut. The carriage shouldthen be returned to the full rear position and locked.Allow the blade to come to a stop before removingthe workpieces from the saw table.

REQUIREMENT WHEN RIPPING(Operations 5 and 6)

WARNING: TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULDCAUSE SERIOUS PERMANENT INJURY, OBSERVEALL THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS IN ADDI-TION TO THOSE ON PAGES 2-6.

1. Make sure that the blade is sharp, correctly setand undamaged.

2. Lock the rip lock handle. (See page 24).

3. Lock the radial arm at the 0 ° position.

4. Make sure the workpiece is kept in firm contactwith the fence and the table. The edge of the

29

board against the fence must be straight and willnot catch on kerfs in the fence. NEVER RIP"FREEHAND" (without aid of fence).

5. Properly set the anti-kickback and spreaderassembly. Observe INSTRUCTIONS in paragraph"Positioning guard and anti-kickback andspreader assembly for ripping" under "Locationand Function of Controls" page 23.

6. Never rip pieces shorter than the diameter of theblade.

7. When ripping narrow stock (less than 6 inchesbut more than 2 inches between the guard andthe fence (guide) use a "PUSH STICK" (asshown) so the workpiece is clear of the bladebefore your hand reaches the guard. The end ofthe workpiece to which the push stick or pushblock (see below) is applied must be square tothe fence and table.

3/'4

8. When ripping stock 3/8" to 2" or less between theguard and fence (guide) use an auxiliary fenceand push block. Make these work helpers to thedimension shown.

a. Make the auxiliary fence using a piece of 3/8"and 3/4" plywood. Fasten together with glueand nails. 2-1

PUSH BLOCK AUXILIARYFENCE

DO NOT USE NAILS. This is to prevent dullingthe sawblade in the event you cut into the pushblock.

NOTE: To insure reliable support use only pushblock and auxiliary fences that have not beendamaged by blade contact during use.

Position the handle at the edge of the plywoodand fasten together with glue and wood screws.

.

10.

11.

The push block should feed the stock beingripped until the stock is clear of the rear of the

blade, and then pulled back with use of the grip.

When ripping narrower than 3/8 inch position thesaw blade to remove the narrow strip from edgeof workpiece furthest from the fence. (See outripping section below) Follow procedures asabove based on distance from blade to fence.

Keep HANDS away from the saw blade.

Saw blade must be parallel to fence to minimizepossibility of kickbacks.

OPERATION NO. 5 -OUT-RIPPING AND IN-RIPPING

1. Ripping is the process of sawing the workpiecealong its length by feeding it into the sawbladewhen using the fence as a guide and as apositioning device to obtain the desired width ofcut. The sawblade is parallel to fence.

2. Since the work is pushed along the fence, it musthave a straight edge in order to make slidingcontact with the fence. Also, the work must makesolid contact with the table, so that it will notwobble or kickback. Provide a straight edge, toavoid kickback or binding, even if it meanstemporarily nailing an auxiliary straight edgeboard to the workpiece being ripped.

WARNING: IF THE WORKPIECE IS WARPED, DONOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE A CUT IF THE WORK-PIECE WOBBLES OR ROTATES ON THE TABLE.IT COULD BIND AND KICKBACK.

3. Always use the saw guard and make sure thespreader is correctly aligned with the kerf andthe anti-kickback pawls are properly adjusted.Wood cut with the grain tends to spring the kerfclosed and bind the blade and cause a kickbackor slip of your hand. Always adjust the spreaderto ride in the kerf and prevent the kerf fromclosing.

4. Stand a little to one side of the blade to be clear ofworkpiece in case of kickback.

5. Always push the workpiece past the blade so it isclear of the blade. This procedure will help avoidkickbacks. DO NOT TOUCH the cutoff pieceuntil the power is off and the blade has stoppedspinning.

IN-RIPPING

The radial arm and bevel are indexed at 0° andlocked, but the yoke is turned 90 degrees in aclockwise direction (viewed from above) from thecrosscut position. Thus, when standing in front ofthe saw, the blade would be rotating counterclock-wise. After positioning the guard and anti-kickbackmechanism the workpiece is fed from the right-handside of the saw.

OUT-RIPPING

The radial arm and bevel are indexed at 0° andlocked, but the yoke is turned 90 degrees in acounterclockwise direction (viewed from above),from the crosscut position. When standing in front ofthe saw, blade would be rotating clockwise. Afterpositioning the guard and anti-kickback mechanismthe workpiece is fed from the left-hand side of thesaw

OPERATION NO. 6 - BEVEL RIPPING

Bevel ripping is either in-ripping or out-ripping asdescribed above, except the saw blade is tilted out ofperpendicular to the saw table surface. The radialarm is indexed at 0 ° and locked, the bevel is set to

the desired bevel angle and the yoke is positionedfor in-ripping (saw blade at rear) or outripping (sawblade at front), as required. All requirements andobservations applicable to normal ripping operationsalso apply to bevel ripping.

DADOING

Instructions for operating the different dado bladesare contained in Owner's Manual furnished with thedado.

The saw arbor is designed for a dado up to 13/16inches wide. Using a wider dado on the arbor couldcause the dado and arbor nut to spin off. Takeseveral passes of the dado if cut required is greaterthan 13/16 of an inch wide.

For best results and to avoid excessive load on the

motor never cut a 13/16of an inch wide dado deeperthan 3/8 of an inch in one pass.

When installing thedadoon the arbor, always installthe inside "loose collar" first to ensure good arbornut engagement. Do not install the outside bladecollar. Make sure the arbor nut is snug. Install thearbor nut directly against the outside of the dado.

MOLDING

Instructions for operating the molding head arecontained in an Owner's Manual furnished with themolding head.

EDGING

Use of the dado or molding head in the horizontalposition (parallel to table) requires the proper acces-sory guard be used. (See recommended accessories

page 43.)

Use of the dado or molding head in the horizontal

position requires an auxiliary fence (page 33), orthat the radial arm be positioned as follows:

1. Miter the arm to the left approximately 30 ° .

2. Swivel the motor until bottom of motor is parallelto and facing the rip fence and operating instruc-tions label is visible.

3. Follow all steps outlined on motor label.

ADJUSTING CARRIAGE BEARINGS

The carriage should roll freely but with some resist-ance for the entire length of travel. To test forbearing looseness, perform the following steps.

1. Place yoke in eitherthein-rip orout-rip position.

2. Push the carriage back against the rear stop.

3. Hold the front carriage bearing with your fingersas tight as possible and pull carriage forward atthe same time. If you can prevent the bearingfrom turning an adjustment is required.

To adjust the carriage bearings perform the followingsteps.

1. Clean and lubricate the bearing races and thebead on which they ride prior to adjustment.

2. With a 9/16 inch wrench and a 1/2 inch wrench

loosen the 5/16-18 hex nuts just enough topermit the eccentric screw to turn.

3. Rotate the eccentric screws a partial turn (left orright) as required to take up looseness. Bothscrews should be adjusted an equal amount tomaintain blade squareness table in the rippositions.

4. Hold the head of the eccentric screws in their

new position and retighten the nuts.

5. Repeat the test procedure described above and

re-adjust if necessary. NOTE: Over tighteningthe bearings will cause difficult operation and

severely reduce the life of the track and bearings.

trouble-shootingHAVE YOU FOLLOWED ALL SIX STEPS OFTHE ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE? IF YOUHAVE NOT FOLLOWED THEM IN THEIRPROPER SEQUENCE, YOU CANNOTEXPECT A CCURA TE CUTTING RESUL"I S.

In addition to the proper alignment of your saw, youmust also become familiar with the following prac-tices in order to expect the best results.

1. Edge of workpiecewhich is placed against fencemust be as straight as the long side of yourframing square.

2 Workpiecemust be as flat as the front table board

on your saw.

3 There must be no sawdust or other wood chipsbetween the fence and the front table board.

4 There must be no sawdust or other wood chipsunderneath workpiece or between workpieceand fence.

5 Workpiece must be held tightly against fenceand down against the table.., this is especiallyimportant when making angle cuts because theworkpiece has a tendency to move.

6. Always use the correct sawblade for the job...Always keep it sharp.

7. When making a four sided frame:

a. The two side pieces must be exactly the same

length.

b. The top and bottom pieces must be exactly the

same length.

c. Always place the same edge of the workpieceagainst the fence.., turn the workpiece endfor end for the successive cuts and mark a

pencil line on the table for gauging the requiredlength.

Deviation from any of the above practices willhave an effect on the accuracy of the cuts thatyou make.

WARNING: REMOVE POWER CORD FROM POWERSOURCE BEFORE TROUBLE SHOOTING.

NOTE: Changing one adjustment will effect another,so it is best to perform all of the alignment procedureswhen correcting any one problem.

maintenance and lubrication

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURNPOWER SWITCH "OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROMPOWER SOURCE OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAININGOR LUBRICATING YOUR SAW.

When you receive your new Craftsman radial saw, itrequires no lubrication. The radial saw has beenpartially aligned and all bearings are lubricated and

sealed for life. In time, however, in order to keep yoursaw in perfect working order and accurate, it will benecessary to lubricate and realign. In fact your radialsaw needs more of a cleaning than a lubrication.

Make sure the teeth of the ANTIKICKBACK pawls(key #9 on p. 53) are always sharp. If they becomedull they must be replaced. With a 1/2 inch wrench or

socket remove the 5/16 hex nut and old pawls.Reassemble new pawls and spreader to antikickbackbar. Check spreader for proper align ment and correct

if necessary. (Follow procedure on page 22.)

CLEANING

Periodically remove any heavy build-up of sawdustthat may accumulate on the saw. The absorbingtendency of sawdust will draw lubricants away fromthe areas where they are needed. Clean the carriagebearings and tracking surfaces. If packed sawdustand grease accumulate repeatedly on carriage bear-ings and track inspect the wipers (key #4 p. 51) forwear and replace if necessary. (For access to wiperssee "swivel lock adjustment" p. 34.)

CAUTION: To avoid motor damage the motor should

be blown out or vacuumed frequently to preventsawdust build-up which will interfere with normalmotor ventilation.

PERIODICALLY LUBRICATE THESE POINTS

Use SAE No. 10W-30 automotive engine oil and referto parts list for locations. Apply a few drops of oilalong the swivel index pin and the bevel index pinonly if the pins have a tendency to stick. Swivel toin-rip or out-rip for easy access to the swivel indexpin. Bevel saw to 45 ° and bevel index pin can beeasily accessed behind the yoke as illustrated.

Lubricate the bearing points where the arm attachesto the column tube. With a #2 phillips screwdriverremove two screws and the rear arm cover for access

to these points. Be careful not to get lubricant on thelocking rings as this will adversely affect the miterlocking function.

LUBRICATION

Your saw is precision built and should be keptproperly lubricated. Before describing the variouspoints which may periodically require lubrication, ITIS MORE IMPORTANT TO FIRST MENTION THEPOINTS WHICH SHOULD NOT BE LUBRICATED.

NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED

Do not lubricate the carriage ball bearings or motorbearings as these are sealed ball bearings andrequire no added lubrication. Do not lubricate

between the miter locking rings and the column tube(keys #5 & 9, p. 47).

*eLower Retractable Guard

(For 90 ° Crosscut Only) .................. 9-29009

The above recommended accessories are currentand were available at the time this manual was

printed.

*NOTE: This lower retractable-guard is designed to provideadditional protection to the operator in an axialdirection to the sawblade (perpendicular to theplane of the sawblade).

(a) When NOT in the cut (guards in full downposition (touching the table) and carriage in fullrear position behind fence):

(b) When saw is set up to perform 90 ° crosscutoperations (sawblade 90 ° to table surface andarm in 90 ° crosscut position).

The lower retractable guard will NOT provide protec-tion to the operator, either crosscutting or ripping:

(a) Axially when in the cut, because the inner andouter guards ride on top of the fence or workpiece

during the cutting operation, exposing the teethof the sawblade;

(b) Radially (in a direction in line with the cuttingteeth);

(c) Obliquely (at an angle to the guard and saw-blade), between the axial and radial directions.

Power Tool Know How Handbook ....... See Catalog

• Meets OSHA Requirements as of 8-73

Potential risks of injury may be introduced if thelower retractable guard is used for other than 90 °crosscut operations, including:

(a) Becoming caught or jammed in prior kerfs in thefence or table;

(b) Giving the operator a false sense of securitywhen performing miter, bevel, and rip cuts;

(c) Jamming when setting-up, and while operating,

for bevel and compound miter cuts.

(d) Jamming for certain in-rip cuts.

The following warning appears on the Lower OuterGuard:
