Operating Procedures thru-out manuah

INSTA L LATI ON

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.

5. If yOU attach any kind of table extensions over 24"

wide to either end of the saw, make sure you either bolt the saw to the bench or floor as appropriate, or support the outer end of the extension from the bench or floor,

as appropriate.

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 n 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, mo!d, or rabbet unless the p{oper guard is installed and set up as instructed.

NOTE THE FOLLOWING DANGER LABELS WHICH APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF THE YOKE AND GUARD:

If any part of this radial saw is missing or should

break, bend or fail in any way, or any electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off power switch, remove cord from power supply and replace

damaged, missing and/or failed parts before resuming operation.

IF YOUR SAW MAKES AN UNFAMILIAR NOISE OR IF IT VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY CEASE OPERATING IMMEDIATELY UNTIL THE

INJURY. Before starting work, verify that no play exists

DANGER

THl_ [NO

between the column & column support, or in the carriage, and that arrn, yoke, and bevel locks/clamps are tight.

-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 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 too! marked

for an opelating 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 revol_ing cutting tool into the table or

a workp_eee 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 instructions for radial saws

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 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 out-feed 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

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 beyond 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

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.

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/$preader 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 down on the table and against the fence with a push stick, push block, or featherboards. A featherboard is made of solid lumber per sketch.

However, if any of the following conditions exists, it will be advisable for you to reconnect the motor for 240V operation - to obtain the efficiem:y and performance for which your saw is

designed:

(1) Heavy-duty operations.

(2) Either an undersized or an overloaded branch

circuit serving the saw motor.

(3) Low voltage supplied by the power source,

which the power company cannot correct.

b. Motor wiring connections for 120V (as made at the

factory) are described below. Necessary reconnections for 240V operation are also described

following. Whenever changing connections from

120V to 240V or vice-versa, make certain that a/I

necessary steps (including proper fusing of the branch circuit) are completed.

LOCATIONS AND FUNCTIONS OF CONTROLS

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.
