Safety Information

The operator's manual contains safety infor-

mation, instructions and signs for your protec- tion against serious injuries, including:

Loss of fingers, hand, arm or leg from contact with the saw blade.

Eye injuries, including being blinded from being hit by a thrown workpiece, workpiece

chips or pieces of the saw blade.

Impact injuries, including broken bones and internal organ damage, from being hit by a

thrown workpiece, workpiece chips or pieces of the saw blade.

Shock, electrocution, or burn injuries from

contact with wires, motor or other saw parts.

Safety Symbol and Signal Words

The safety information in this manual is high-

lighted by the following safety alert symbol.

Major Hazards

1. Workpiece Kickback

Kickback is an uncontrolled grabbing and throwing of the workpiece during ripping. If

kickback occurs, the workpiece can hit

you hard enough to cause broken bones, in-

ternal organ injury or death. To reduce or

prevent kickback, read and follow the safety information in the Ripping section of the

manual.

Kickback.

Internal injury can

result.

Use anti-kickback

pawls/spreader.

Fig 2 Kickback Safety Sign

Fig. 1Safety Alert Symbol

The following signal words are used to indi-

cate the level of risk.

DANGER: Means that if the safety infor-

mation is not followed, someone will be seriously injured or killed.

_1_ WARNING: Means that if the safety in-

formation is not followed someone could be seriously injured or killed.

_lb CAUTION: Means that if the safety in-

formation is not followed someone may be in-

jured.

All of the safety information and cutting

steps are critical to the safe operation of the radial arm saw.

2. Kickback Followed by Blade Contact

Kickback followed by blade contact can hap- pen when the saw blade is pinched or bound by the workpieee during ripping. Kickback

can happen if you reach around the blade to the end with the anti-kickback pawls, (oat- feed end), and try to hold-down or pull the workpiece through to complete the cut. Your fingers, hand, or arm can be cut off by the

blade if the workpiece kicks back.

Kickback, Blade

Contact.

Fingers, hand, arm

can be cut off.

Follow instructions

for Ripping

Fig. 3 Blade Contact Safety Sign

3. Wrong Way Feed

Wrong way feed is feeding the workpiece into the end of the saw with the anti-kickback

pawls. The work_iece can be grabbed by the blade and pull your hands into the blade

before you can let go or pull back. Fingers, hand or arm can be cut off.

Fig. 4 Wrong WayFeed Safety Sign

If a workpiece is fed into the end of the saw

with the anti-kickback pawls, it can take off

like a missile. Anyone hit by the workpiece can be killed. Feed the workpiece into the in- feed end of the saw blade, the end that does

not have the anti-kickback pawls.

can be blinded.

Wear safety

goggles.

6. Clear the table of all cbjects (adjusting wrenches, tools, scraps of wood etc.) except

the workpiece to be cut, fixtures or clamps

before turning the saw on.

7. Do not do layout, assembly or setup work on the table while the blade is turning.

8. Store items away from the saw. Do not climb on the saw to reach items. Do not

stand on the table; the saw can tip over.

8. Secure the saw to floor, wall, bench or table if it slides, tips or walks during use.

9. Feed the workpiece against the direction of rotation of the blade when ripping.

10. Turn the saw off before leaving work

area. Do not leave the saw until the blade has stopped.

11. Lock the rip and miter locks before

moving the saw from one location to another.

12. Turn the saw off and remove yellow key if

the blade jams. Do not try to free a jammed workpiece with the saw on.

13. Turn the saw off if it vibrates excessively

or makes an unfamiliar noise. Correct any problems before restarting saw.

14. Rip workpieces that are longer than the

diameter of the blade being used. Do not rip

a workpiece that is shorter than the diameter

of the blade being used.

5. Do not overtighten the blade; the blade collar can be warped.

Safety Labels on the Radial Arm Saw

15. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Do

not cut stacked workpieces or lay them edge to edge for cutting.

Workpiece Support Safety

1. Use additional supports for workpieces which extend beyond the saw table. Large workpieces can shift, twist, rise from table or

fall after they are cut.

2. Helpers can be hit by a thrown workpiece,

workpiece chips or pieces of the blade. Use table extensions or other supports. Do not

use helpers.

3. ttelpers can cause the workpiece to kick-

back. Do not use other people to support or assist in feeding or pulling the workpiece.

Use table extensions.

4. When table extensions over 24 inches wide are added to either side of the saw, make

sure you either bolt the saw to the floor or support the outer end of the extension from the floor with sturdy legs or an outrigger.

5. Use Only Recommended Accessories

Information

BOTH MODELS

1. If you are missing any part while putting

your saw together, do not continue assembly. Contact your Sears Service Center or Retail Store and get the missing part before continu-

ing assembly or trying to use the saw.

Complete parts lists are located at the end of this manual. Use these lists to identify the number of any missing part.

2. Sometimes small parts get lost in packag- ing materials. Do not throw away any pack- aging until your saw is put together. If you are missing a part, check the packaging be- fore contacting Sears.

3. Most parts of your radial arm saw will be fastened together using truss head bolts, lock-

washers, and hex nuts of the sizes shown. (Figure 13) When different sizes are needed,

the instructions will include a sketch to help you locate the correct size.

lock when the blade is at one of these angles,

move the bevel lock all the way to the right and turn the motor while holding the lock in this position.

Swivel Lock

The swivel lock is used to hold the blade in the crosscut, in-rip, or out-rip positions, and to

position the blade for molding or edging. To unlock the swivel lock, stand facing the saw

handle and pull the swivel lock toward you. (Figure 51)

swivel lock when the motor is in one of these

positions, stand facing the saw handle, pull

the swivel lock all the way toward you, and turn the motor as you hold the lock in this position.

Rip Lock

The rip lock is used to hold the motor and blade at a fixed position along the radial arm.

It is used during ripping to hold the blade a

desired distance from the fence while the

workpiece is fed through. It is used before

and after each crosscut to keep the blade from moving forward on its own.

To unlock the rip lock, pull the handle toward the front of the arm. (Figure 53)

Handwheel

The handwheel controls the height of the radial arm.

To raise the radial arm, turn the handwheel clockwise. To lower the radial arm, turn the handwheel counterclockwise. (Figure 55)

Fig. 55 - Handwheet

One complete turn of the handwheel moves the arm !/16 inch.

The handle can be folded in by squeezing the

red plastic "ears" with your thumb and index finger while pushing the handle in.

All Controls

Always lock the miter, swivel and bevel locks before making a cut on your radial arm saw.

When ripping, the rip lock must also be lock- ed. When crosscutting, the rip lock should be

locked before and after each cut, when the saw is in the rearmost position.

Alignment of the Blade

ALIGNMENT OF THE BLADE IS THE

MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN

ASSEMBLING YOUR RADIAL ARM SAW.

The blade of your radial arm saw must be aligned properly for two reasons: to make

cuts accurate, and to prevent binding of the blade and workpiece which can cause jams or

thrown workpieces.

These adjustments must be done in order,

before using your saw for the first time. If they are not done in order the saw will not

cut accurately. If you miss an adjustment, you must go back to the adjustment you missed and repeat all steps from that point on.

These adjustments are like finetuning a piece of equipment. Often a series of steps

must be repeated more than once in order to get the adjustment just right.

1. Use a 3/16 hex "L" wrench to loosen the

four screws in the front of the column

support. (Figure 56)

2. Raise and lower the radial arm by turning the handwheel a few turns in each direction.

It should take about the same amount of ef- fort to lower the arm as to raise it.

mLWARNING: Plugging the saw in

during alignment can result in electrical

shock or your fingers, hand, or arm being cut off from blade contact. Do not plug in the saw at any time during align- ment. The saw should only be plugged

in when it is to be used.

Make sure that the blade and blade guard are removed from the arbor shaft before begin-

ning to align your saw. Do not install the

blade or blade guard until you are instructed

to do so.

Adjusting Elevation

The goal of this adjustment is to make up- ward and downward movement of the radial

arm smooth and firm. If the column that sup- ports the arm is too tight it will be difficult to move the arm up and down and to get ac-

curate depth of cut. If the column is loose the blade may "walk" on the workpiece and stall

the motor, or cause a heel in bevel and com- pound cuts.

3. If movement seems smooth and the column does not rock back and forth, go to

the next section, or

If movement seems difficult, loosen the four bolts in the back of the column slightly (Figure 57) and go back to step 2, or

If column rocks back and forth, tighten the four bolts in the back of the column slightly

(Figure 57) and go back to step 2.

Fig. 57

Leveling Table Supports

1. Raise the radial arm until the bottom of

the motor is about 2-1/2 inches above the

saw.

2. Locate four hex head bolts and put a flat washer on each.

3. Attach a table support to each side of the

saw using the four hex head bolts and flat

washers. (Figure 58 & 59) Put the bolts through the center of the enlarged holes in the table supports so that the supports may slide

up or down as needed.

Squaring Crosscut Travel

The blade must travel perpendicular to the fence along the radial arm in order for cross-

cuts to be accurate. If the radial ann is not

perpendicular to the fence, there will be a

slight miter angle in all crosscuts.

WARNING: Plugging in the saw dur-

ing alignment can result in your fingers, hands, or arm being cut off from blade

contact. Do not plug in the saw at any time during alignment. The saw should only be plugged in when it is to be used.
