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.

' " 3
INJURY DO
[ THIS END
--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 misalignment
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 toot 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
Ripping is cutting with the grain or the long way of the
board - it is performed by pushing the workpiece
along the fence and thru the sawblade (sawblade
parallel to the fence).
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. 26) for narrow or short
work.
2. Whenever possible, use the in-rip position - this
provides minimum obstruction f_r 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, by positioning the spreader and
antikickback properly, 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
p}ece {butt{rig second piece against trailing edge of
piece being cut), even if of the same thickness. Feed
each workpiece individually thru the sawblade, and
completely beyond the sawblade, before ripping the
next workpiece. Use push stick if the rip cut is less
than 6" wide.
1 1. DO NO _- 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.
instructions for radial saws
Therefore, rip with the finished side down (next to
the table) and be especially attentive to following
proper set-up and cutting procedures. Do not stand,
or permit anyone else to stand, in line with a
potential kickback.
13. When sawing I/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.
16. Shaping of wood with a dado head or a molding
head can be performed "top-side" (cutting tool
basically vertical and employing sawblade guard), or
"edge" (saw arbor vertical - cutting tool horizontal
- and employing the Accessory molding head
guard).
Ploughing
(Grooving with the grain)
Top side rabbeting
Top side molding
(shaping) ...
resawing, gaining, coving, with the grain, are
examples of rip-type cuts. The same basic setup
procedures including rotation of the guard and
adjusting and positioning of the AKB/Spreader
device as for in-rip or out-rip cutting, apply.
However, since none of these operations involve
thru-sawing (sawing through the workpiece), there
is no kerf. Therefore the spreader and AKB pawls
can only be lowered to a position where the
spreader just clears the workpiece.
CAUTION: The AKB/Spreader device will not
stop a kickback in this position, but will act as a
holddown and as a guard of the out-feed side of
the sawblade.
17.
For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a
workpiece to which a push stick or push board is
applied must be square (perpendicular to the
fence) in order that feed pressure applied to the
workpiece by the push stick or block does not
cause the workpiece to come away from the fence,
and possibly cause a kickback.
18.
During rip and rip type cuts, the workpiece must
be held clown on the table and against the fence
with a push stick, push block, or featherboards. A
featherboard is made of solid lumber per sketch.

the dado head, molding head, and molding head
guard.
3.
The use of grinding wheels, 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.)

GROUNDING PRONG
This power tool is equipped with a 3-conductor cord
and grounding type plug which has a grounding prong,
Listed by Underwriters' Laboratories. The ground
conductor has a green jacket and is attached to the tool
housing at one end and to the ground prong in the
attachment plug at the other end.
This plug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type
outlet as shown.
If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool
is of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR
ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY
MANNER. Use an adapter as shown and always connect
the grounding lug to known ground.
It it recommended that you have a qualified electrician
replace the TWO prong outlet with a properly grounded
THREE prong outlet.
electrical connections
An adapter as shown below is available for connecting
plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lug
extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as to a properly grounded
outlet box.

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.
4.
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.
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.
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.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT:
IN ORDER TO OBTAIN MAXIMUM CUTTING
ACCURACY, THE FOLLOWING SIX STEPS
MUST BE CAREFULLY FOLLOWED.
BECOME THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH
THESE STEPS SO THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS
MAINTAIN YOUR SAW IN PROPER
ALIGNMENT. THE ACCURACY OF EACH
ADJUSTMENT IS ALWAYS DEPENDENT
UPON THE ACCURA C YOF THE PRECEDING
ADJUSTMENT.
After following the 6 step assembly and alignment
procedure and the Basic Saw operation section refer to
Trouble Shooting section if any difficulty is experienced
when performing any sawing operation.
STEP ON E
NOTE: The following adjustment, performed properly, will
result in the work table being parallel to the arm.
ATTACHING AND LEVELING TABLE MOUNTING
SUPPORT CHANNE LS.
1. Attach table mounting support channels with four
square head 5/16-18 x 3/4 screws, Iockwashers and flat
washers and nuts. POSITION SCREWS IN CENTER OF
CHANNEL SLOTS, finger tight to permit channels to
"slip" against the base when leveling.

down. Lock bevel lock.
3.
Unlock and hold arm control lever in index release
position as shown. Position arm against left st'op
(approximately 50 ° miter). Loosen carriage lock knob
and position carriage directly over left hand channel.
NOTE: For safety reasons in accordance with the UL
standard, stops have been provided to prevent 360 °
r_tation of the radial arm.
4.
S;ide the arbor wrench handle between end of motor
shaft and mounting channel to act as a feeler gauge.
Carefully lower the motor with elevation crank until
the end of shaft is just touching the arbor wrench. The
wrench should slide back and forth with only slight
resistance. Tighten screw "'A".
NOTE: Do not change this elevation setting until both
left and right hand table support channels have been
adjusted.
5. Move arm and carriage to screw "B" and tighten
support in the same manner.
6. Move arm and carriage to right hand support channel
and level in the same manner you adjusted the left hand
support channel.
7. Recheck both support channels to make sure that
tightening screws did not affect the accuracy of the
adjustment.
8. Elevate saw and place motor in vertical position to
provide clearance for installation of front (work) table.

INSTALLATION OF FRONT (WORK) TABLE.
1.
Place front table board upside down on a workbench or
on the floor Drive T-nut into the hole that is not
counterbored.
2. Align the counterbored holes with matching holes in
support channels. Install the five 17/64 inch flat
washers, and four ¼- 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 ¼ Iockwasher and Hex Nut on each of the
four (4) screws in the support channels and tighten.

4.
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.
5.
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
req u ired.

2. 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.

Position the rip (guide) fence, spacer board and rear
table board behind the front table board as shown.
7.
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.
