switch, elevation control, yoke index and lock bevel

index and lock, carriage lock, guard clamp screw, spreader and antikickback device, and miter index and

lock.

III. Review and understanding of all Safety Instructions and

Operating Procedures thru-out manual.

INSTALLATION

1. Set carriage lock before moving the saw.

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

3. Mount the saw so the table is approximately 39" above the floor.

4. Mount the saw so the arm slopes slightly downward to the rear so the carriage will not roll forward due to

gravity.

MINIMIZE ACCIDENT POTENTIAL

Most accidents are caused by FAILURE TO FOLLOW setup and operating instructions:

(A) GENERAL

-Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip

could cause a hand to move into a sawblade or other cutting tool. Never reach in back of or around the

cutting tool with either hand to hold down the workpiece, or for any other reason; DO NOT place fingers or hands in the path of the sawblade.

- Never_ saw, dado, mold, or rabbet unless the proper guard is installed and set up as instructed.

INJURY.

-Before starting work, verify that no play exists between the column & column support, or in the

carriage, and that arm, yoke, and bevel locks/clamps are tight.

DANGER

i CUTTING .

--A large proportion of saw accidents is caused by use of the wrong type blade, dull, badly set, improperly

sharpened cutting tools, by gum or resin adhering to cutting tools, and by sawblade misatignment out-of-parallel with the fence. Such conditions can

cause the material to stick, jam (stall the saw) or

"KICKBACK" at the operator. NEVER ATTEMPT

TO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE WITHOUT

FIRST TURNING THE SAW "OFF". If the

sawblade is stalled or jammed, shut saw "'OFF",

remove workpiece, and check sawblade squareness to

table surface and to the fence, and check for heel.

Adjust as indicated.

--CAUTION: DO NOT cycle the motor switch "ON'" and "OFF" rapidly, as this might cause the sawblade

to loosen. In the event this should ever occur, allow the saw blade to come to a complete stop and

re-tighten the arbor nut normally, not excessively.

-- Do not leave a long board unsupported so the spring of the board causes it to shift on the table. Provide

proper support for the workpiece, based on its size and the type of operation to be performed. Hold the work firmly against the fence.

- Never use a length stop on the free end or edge of the

workpiece whether crosscutting or ripping. Never hang onto or touch the free end of workpiece when

crosscutting, or a free piece that is cut off while power is "ON" and/or the saw blade is rotating. In short, the cut-off piece in any "thru-sawing" operation must never be confined - it must be allowed to move laterally.

-- Make sure your fingers do not contact the terminals when installing or removing the plug to or from a live

power source.

- Never climb on the saw, or climb 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.

-Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for an operating speed lower than 3450 RPM. 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.

- Never turn your saw "ON" before clearing the table or work surface of all objects (tools, scraps of wood,

etc.) except the workpiece and related feed or support devices for the operation planned.

- DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work on

the table while the cutting tool is rotating.

-Never perform any operation "FREE HAND". This term means feeding the sawblade into the workpiece or feeding the workpiece into the sawblade or other cutting tool without using the fence or some other

device which prevents rotation or twisting of the workpiece during the operation. Never "RIP" in the

crosscut position. Never make a miter cut with the arm in the 90 ° crosscut position.

- Never lower a revolving cutting tool into the table or

a workpiece without first locking the Carriage Lock

Knob. Release the knob only after grasping the Yoke Handle. Otherwise the cutting tool may grab the

workpiece and be propelled toward you.

-The sawblade, dado, or other cutting tool must be

additional safety

removed from the saw arbor before using the accessory shaft (rear end of the saw motor). NEVER operate the saw with cutting tools (including sanding

accessories) installed on both ends of the saw arbor.

(B) RIPPING

1. Never apply the feed force to the section of the workpiece that will become the cut-off (free) piece.

Feed force when ripping must always be applied between the saw blade and the fence ... use a

"PUSH STICK" (see pg. 25) for narrow or short work.

2. Whenever possible, use the in-rip position - this

provides minimum obstruction for feeding by hand or push stick as appropriate.

3. Do not release the workpiece before operation is

complete - push the workpiece all the way past the rear (outfeed or exit) of the sawblade.

4. Make sure by trial before starting the cut that the

antikickback pawls will stop a kickback once it has started. Keep points of pawls SHARP!

5. Use a push stick when ripping short (under 12 inches) or narrow (under 6 inches wide) workpieces.

6. CAUTION: Never reposition the Guard or antikickback with power "ON".

7. A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type operation when a part or all of the workpiece is thrown back violently toward the operator. It can occur when the workpiece closes in on the rear (outfeed side) of the sawblade (pinching), binds between the fence and the sawblade (heel), or is grabbed by the

sawblade teeth (wrong-way feed) at the outfeed side. "PINCHING" is generally avoided by utilization of the spreader, and a sharp sawblade of the correct type for the workpiece being cut.

"HEEL" can be avoided by maintaining the

sawblade exactly parallel to the fence. Grabbing by the sawblade teeth can be caused by heel or by feeding from the wrong direction (see "DANGER" warning on guard) - it can be avoided by

maintaining parallelism of sawblade to fence, feeding into the sawblade from the nose of the guard only, and by positioning the spreader and

antikickback property, and keeping the workpiece down on the table and against the fence.

8. Position the nose of the guard to just clear the

workpiece, and position/adjust the antikickback and spreader devices as instructed.

9. NEVER cut more than one piece at a time by stacking workpieces vertically.

10. NEVER feed a workpiece thru the saw with another piece (butting second piece against trailing edge of piece being cut), even if of the same thickness. Feed each workpiece individually thru the sawblade, and completely beyong the sawblade, before ripping the next workpiece. Use push stick if the rip cut is less

than 6" wide.

11. DO NOT pull the workpiece thru the sawblade

-position your body at the nose (in-feed) side of the guard: start and complete the cut from that same side. This will require added table support

for long pieces.

12. Plastic and composition (like hardboard)materials may be cut on your saw. However, since these are

usually quite hard and slippery, the antikickback

pawls may not stop a kickback.

Therefore, rip with the finished side down (next to the table) and be especially attentive to following

instructions for radial saws

proper set-up and cutting procedures. Do not stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line with a

potential kickback.

13. When sawing 1/4" or thinner materials, follow all normal ripping procedures except set sawblade into table top at least 1/8". DO NOT let go of or stop feeding the workpiece between the blade and fence until you have pushed it completely past the antikickback pawls. Otherwise the workpiece could get into the back of the sawblade and be thrown violently from the saw in the direction opposite to

the feed direction. This is the same action that

would occur if the instructions of the DANGER

warning on the guard is aborted. Do not stand, or

permit anyone else to stand, in line with the path of a workpiece that may be thrown from the saw in

this manner.

14. Position the saw so neither you, a helper, or a casual observer is forced to stand in line with the

sawblade.

15. Use extra care when ripping wood that has a twisted grain or is twisted or bowed - it may rock on the table and/or pinch the sawblade.

1. ALWAYS RETURN THE CARRIAGE TO THE

FULL REARWARD POSITION AT CONCLUSION OF EACH CROSSCUT TYPE OPERATION. Never

remove your hand from the Yoke Handle unless the carriage is in this position. Otherwise the cutting

tool may climb up on the workpiece and be propelled toward you.

2. Place guard in horizontal position and adjust

antikickback pawls to just clear the top of the fence or workpiece, whichever is higher.

3. NEVER gang crosscut - lining up more than one

workpiece in front of the fence - stacked vertically, or horizontally outward on the table - and then

pulling saw thru: the blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause a binding or loss of control and possible injury.

4. Do not position the Arm so the operation you are

performing permits the cutting tool to extend beyond the edges of the Table.

(D) ACCESSORIES

1. Use only recommended accessories as listed on page

33.

2. Never operate this saw when equipped with a dado head or molding head unless the molding head

guard is installed -- see listing of recommended accessories. The only exception is when "top-side"

dadoing or molding, when the sawblade guard must be used. See detailed instructions that accompany

the dado head, molding head, and molding head guard.

3. 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.)

4. Drill Chuck: Do not install or use any twist drill larger than 1/2-inch in dia., or longer than 7 inches

in length or extending more than 6 inches beyond the chuck jaws. Do not install or use any reduced shank drill except of the spade type (1 inch dia. or

smaller). "Use for drilling WOOD and PLASTIC

only."

WEAR YOUR

electrical connections

The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on Package) before commencing

power tool operation. Safety Goggles are available at Sears

retail or catalog stores.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

NOTE: This motor should be blown out, or "vacuumed", frequently to prevent sawdust interference with normal

motor ventilation.

1. This tool should be connected to a 120 volt, 15 amp branch circuit with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit

breaker. Failure to use the proper size fuse can result in damage to the motor.

2. If the motor fails to start, turn the power switch to the off position immediately. UNPLUG THE TOOL. Check the saw blade to insure that it turns freely and that its teeth are not wedged into the table top. After the blade has been freed, try to start the motor again. If, at this point, the motor still fails to start, refer to the "Motor Trouble-Shooting Chart."

3. If the motor should suddenly stall while cutting wood, the power switch should be turned off, the tool unpluged and the blade freed from the wood. The motor may now be restarted and the cut finished.

electrical connections

Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused

differently from recommendations. Overloading can

occur if you feed to rapidly or if your saw is misaligned so that the blade heels. Do not use a fuse of greater capacity without consulting a qualified electrician.

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 equals the voltage specified on nameplate.

6. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect connections, overloading, reduced input voltage (such as small size wires in the supply circuit) or to an overly-long supply circuit. Always check the connections, the load and the supply circuit, whenever

the motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and lengths with the table following.

WIRE SIZES

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent

over-heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.

Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3 prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept

the tools plug. NOTE: For circuits of greater length, the wire size must be

increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the saw motor.

2. Align the counterbored holes with matching holes in support channels. Install the five 17/64 inch flat

washers, and four Y_- 20 x 1 inch Pan-Head machine screws. Just barely start the cup point set screw and the one (1) ¼ - 20 x 1-3/4 inch Pan Head machine screw in

table center holes.

3. Install one 1/4 Iockwasher and Hex Nut on each of the four (4) screws in the support channels and tighten.

Lay the rear table board on edge across the front table

to serve as a straightedge. Sight under this straightedge to determine whether the front table board is high or

low at its center.

If the front table is high at center, first tighten the

center (¼ - 20 x 1-3/4 inch) hold down screw until the table is level - then tighten the leveling screw until this

screw is snug.

If table is low at center, first tighten the leveling screw

until the table is level - then tighten the hold down screw.

If table is not high or low, tighten leveling screw and

center hold down screw snug.

STEP TWO

ADJUSTING COLUMN TUBE IN COLUMN SUPPORT

NOTE: The following adjustment is very CRITICAL. All

future alignment procedures rely on this adjustment being performed correctly. ALL LOOSENESS MUST BE

REMOVED.

1. Index and lock arm at 0 ° Miter. While holding the arm with one hand, hold fingers of

other hand as shown, between column tube and column support. Apply gentle side pressure to the arm in

opposing directions. Any side to side or rotational movement (indicated by arrow) can be felt with finger. If looseness exists the following adjustments are

required.

Loosen (2) ¼ - 20 Gib set screws on the left side at the

rear of the column support.

3. Elevate, and then lower the Arm: (a) if the column binds and elevation is difficult loosen two 5/16- 18 plated nuts on front side of the column support until you achieve smooth but firm elevation. (b) If the

column moves side-to-side within the column support, tighten the two 5/16 - 18 plated nuts until movement disappears -- elevation should be smooth and firm.

4. Now tighten the (2) ¼ -- 20 Gib set screws until no noticeable rotational play exists between Column Tube

and Column Support.

5. Recheck elevation and re-adjust if necessary.

3. Lower arm until saw blade just clears the front table. Lock the yoke clamp handle and bevel lock lever.

4. Place a framing square on the table as shown and position the blade and square until the leg of the square

just contacts a tooth of the blade. Mark this tooth.

5. When the carriage is moved back and forth on the arm,

the marked tooth should just touch the square at all

points. If marked tooth moves into square or away from square the following adjustments are required:

a. Loosen (3) 3/8 - 16 set screws in arm latch at rear

of arm.

b. Move the arm in proper direction to make marked

tooth follow edge of square when the saw blade is moved along arm in a "cross cut" manner.

c. Lock arm latch.

d. RETIGHTEN (3) setscrews in arm latch as tight as

possible and recheck "cross cut" travel.

NOTE: This squaring of the cross cut travel will simultaneously set BOTH of the 45 ° miter index

positions.

Set miter indicator on 0 ° position as shown.

Position the rip (guide) fence, spacer board and rear table board behind the front table board as shown.

Install the two table clamps in the holes provided for

them at the rear of the saw base, and tighten them securely.

NOTE: The life of your saw table will be lengthened

considerably if you will cover the front table with a fitted piece of 1/4 inch plywood. This should be tacked

in place for easy replacement. Use of such a cover will

allow you to do all cutting into the cover, rather than your table top.
