WARNING: TO AVOID MISTAKES THAT COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS, PERMANENT INJURY, DO

NOT CONNECT POWER CORD UNTIL THE FOL-
LOWING STEPS HAVE BEEN SATISFACTORILY
COMPLETED:

1. Assembly and alignment.. (See pages 15-24.)

2.. Examination and operating familiarity with ON-
OFF switch, elevation hand wheel, swivel lock,

bevel lock and rip lock, guard clamp screw,
spreader and anti-kickback device and miter

lock. (See pages 30, 31 & 32.)

3. Review and understanding of all safety instruc-

tions and operating procedures throughout the
manual

Read the following danger labels which appear on
the front of the radial arm saw base assembly, motor
and saw guard:

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY:

WHEN RIPPING

WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE

SAW

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 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
as appropriate.

3. To avoid injury from unexpected carriage travel
adjust leveling feet so the arm tilts slightly
downward to the rear so that the carriage will not

roll forward due to gravity. Forward drift of the

carriage on an improperly leveled saw could
cause 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, always

remove the plug from the outlet, turn the switch

off and remove the switch key before removing
the guard, changing the cutting tool, changing
the 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 have
failed in any way, or any electrical component

fails to perform properly Shut off power switch,

pull the plug from the outlet and replace damaged,

missing and/or failed parts before resuming
operation

To avoid injury from electrical shock, make sure
your fingers do not contact the terminals when

installing or removing the plug to or from a live
outlet.

Check the fence for proper workpiece support. To
avoid fence breakage which could result in thrown
workpieces and blade contact, do not use fences
made of particle board or other composite
materials - use 3/4" thick lumber long enough to
extend in on epiece from end to end of the saw
table, and tall enough to be at least even with the
top of the workpiece. Replace any fence where
existing slots in the fence have weakened the
fence or can snag the workpiece during ripping
operations. Always check table clamps to make
sure any new fence is held securely (see page 22)_

Choose your cutting tool carefully Many saw
accidents are caused by use of the wrong type
blade, dull, badly set, improperly sharpened cut-
ting tools, gum or resin adhering to the cutting
tools, and by blade misalignment with the saw

fence. Such conditions can cause the material to
stick, jam (stall the saw), throw or "kickback" the

workpiece 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 3450
rpm or higher, Never use a cutting toot larger in

diameter than the diameter for which the saw was
designed

--To avoid jamming of the blade, thrown work-
pieces, and damage to the blade collars, never
use a broken, warped, or unbalanced blade. Do
not overtighten arbor nut Use arbor wrenches to
"snug" it securely°

To avoid injury from accidental blade contact by
the workpiece or the operator do not perform

layout, assembly, or setup work on the table

while thecuttingtool is rotating. Therotating
tool could cut and throw anythinghitting the

bladecaus{ngthe saw to unexpectedlycome
forward

bevel locks/clamps are tighL

To avoid injury from thrown objects, slips or
jamming of the blade due to pinching of the blade

by shifting boards:

(a) Do not leave a long board unsupported so the

spring of the board causes it to twist or rise
from the table

(b) Check to be sure that pieces will not fall off

the table once they have been cut.

(c) Provide support for the workpiece, based on

its size and the type of operation to be
performed

(d) Never use another person as a substitute fora

table extension, or as an additional support
for a workpiece to assist in feeding, support-

ing, or pulling the workpiece

(e) Never cut workpieces placed side to side or

stacked on top of each other The pieces can

slide on each other.

WEAR YOUR

of asecond is sufficient to inflict severe, permanent

injury

if your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or' if it
vibrates excessively, stop the operation immedi-
ately, Do not restart until the source has been

located and the problem corrected

-- 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, turn

the switch off, allow the sawblade to come to a

complete stop, and remove the switch key To

avoid damage to the blade and flange, retighten

the arbor nut normally, not excessively..

-- Never perform any operation freehand injury can

occur from blade contact or' thrown pieces when

the workpiece is torn from the hands.. "Freehand"

means feeding the sawblade into a workpiece or

feeding the workpiece into the sawblade or other

cutting tool without using the fence orsome other

proper device to prevent the workpiece from

twisting and binding on the cutting tool during the

cutting operat[on

To avoid accidental blade contact, avoid awkward

hand positions where a sudden slip causes a hand
to move toward the sawblade or other cutting
tool Do not place fingers or hand on the work-

piece or table that is in the path of the sawblade

To avoid injury from unexpected starting, never

attempt to free a stalled sawblade without first

turning the saw "OFF" and removing the switch

key If the sawblade isstatfed or' jammed, shut the

saw "OFF", remove the switch key, remove the

workpiece, check for' looseness in clamps, arm

and carriage, check the sawblade squareness to

the table surface and to the fence, and check for
heel (see page 22).. Adjust as indicated.

The operation of any power- tool can result in
foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which
can result in permanent eye damage.. Always wear
safety goggles complying with ANSI Z87.1 (shown
on package) Safety goggles are available at
Sears retail catalog stores Use of goggles or
glasses not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could
result in severe injury from breakage of the eye
protection,

To avoid injury from uncontrollable reaction or
thrown objects, never turn the saw "ON" before

clearing the table or work surface of all objects

(tools, scraps of wood, etc..) except the properly
supported workpiece and related feed or support
devices for the operation planned

WHENEVER THE SAW IS RUNNING

-- Always keep alert. Do not allow familiarity (gained
from frequent use of your saw) to cause a careless

mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction

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

its power is "ON" Never leave the saw area when
power' is "ON", or before the cutting tool has
come to a complete stop.

To avoid unauthorized saw use, remove the switch
key and put the key away before leaving the saw

area

BEFORE STARTING A RIPPING TYPE CUT

To avoid injury from being struck by a thrown
workpiece, position the saw so neither you, a
helper', or a casual observer is forced to stand in
line with the sawbtade or workpiece.

-- Whenever possible, use the "in-rip" position_ (See
page 37_) This provides maximum clearance for

feeding by hand, push stick, or push block as

appropriate.

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

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, c,_

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

For rip or rip-type cuts, the trailing end of the
workpiece to which a push stick or push board is
applied must be square (perpendicular to the
fence and table top) so that feed pressure applied
to the workpiece by the push stick or push block
will not cause the workpiece to come away from
the fence or rise from the table and possibly cause

a kickback

Plastic and composition (like particle board)
materials may be cut on your saw. However, since

these are often quite hard and slippery, the anti-
kickback pawls may not stop a kickback To get
best performance, rip with the finished side down

(next to the table) and the roughest side up, and
be especially attentive to follow proper set up and
cutting procedures

WHILE DOING A RIP TYPE OPERATION

-- Never reach around the blade to the outfeed side
to touch the portion of workpiece beyond the

blade until the whole workpiece has been pushed
beyond and ctear of the blade Your touch could

cause a kickback which could strike someone or
pull your hand into the rear (outfeed side) of the

blade before you can let go or react

-- 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 or wide workpieces that extend beyond
the length or width of the saw table to prevent

workpiece from being thrown as it falls from the
table,,

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

piece. Feed force when ripping must always be

applied between the sawblade and the fence so

that the slot cut by the blade (kerf) will not be
pinched shut on the blade causing a kickback.

Never touch the piece that has been cut off until
the blade has come to a complete stop

--Keep pushing the section of the workpiece
between the blade and the fence until the piece

has been pushed completely past the blade, so
the blade wilt not grab the piece and throw it back
at the operator.

BEFORE DOING A CROSSCUT TYPE CUT

--To avoid blade contact, do not perform any
operation that requires the cutting tool to extend
beyond the edges of the table used for supporting
the workpiece

To maximize protection from accidental blade
contact and reduce risk of jamming objects into
the guard, place guard in a horizontal position
and adjust anti-kickback pawls to just clear the
top of the fence or the workpiece, whichever is
higher The anti-kickback pawl assembly will

5

6O

provide additional guarding from contact with the

front of the blade.

To prevent the cutting tool from grabbing the
table or workpiece and being propelled toward
you, never lower a revolving cutting tool into the
table or a workpiece without first locking the rip
lock handle and clamping the workpiece in place.
Release the handle only after having firmly
grasped the carriage handle.

To avoid blade contact or injury from a thrown cut
off piece, never use a length stop on the cut off
end or edge of the workpiece. Never hang onto or'
touch the cut off piece of the workpiece while the
power is "ON" and/or the sawblade is rotating To
prevent pinching that could cause the piece to be
thrown, the cut off piece must never be confined,
pushed, or grabbed while the blade is spinning.

INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE

To avoid injury from thrown objects, slips or
jamming of the blade, make sure the workpiece
will 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 or

other foreign material between the workpiece and

its support.

WHILE DOING A CROSSCUT TYPE CUT

Always start with the carriage in the full rear
position behind the fence before turning the saw

On,

Never push the carriage and blade backwards
into the work to do a crosscutting type operation..

The cutting tool can throw the work over the
fence, striking someone or causing you to fall into

the blade.

Always return the carriage to the full rearward
position behind the fence at the completion 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.

BEFORE USING ACCESSORIES

To avoid injury from unanticipated hazards, use
only recommended accessories as listed on page

50°

The use of grinding wheels, abrasive or cut off
wheels, or wire wheels, can be dangerous and are
not recommended_ Such devices can break ex-

plosively and throw shrapnel, causing severe
injury

The sawblade, dado, or other cutting tool must be
removed from the saw arbor before using the

accessory shaft, Never operate the saw with
cutting tools (including sanding accessories or
buffing) installed on both ends of the saw arbor to
avoid being pulled into moving parts by hair,
threads, clothing, etc, Make sure the unused
arbor is always covered by aguard, the arm, or the
screw cap

Using a drill chuck, To avoid injury from sudden
bending or breaking of a drill bit, do not install or

use twist drills tonger than 7" in iength or extend-
ing more than 6" beyond the chuck jaws. Do not
instatl or use any reduced shank drill except the
opade type (1" diameter' or smaller).. Use for
drilling wood or plastic only - bit speed cannot be
properly adjusted for other materiafs. Do not use
twist drills larger than 1/2" in diameter

CAUTION: TO AVOID MOTOR DAMAGE THIS

MOTOR SHOULD BE BLOWN OUT OR VACUUMED
FREQUENTLY TO PREVENT SAWDUST BUILD-

UP WHICH WILL INTERFERE WITH NORMAL
MOTOR VENTILATION.

1 This tool should be connected to a t20V, 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
toot unplugged and the blade freed from the
wood The motor' may now be restarted and the

cut finished.

_ MAKE SURE THIS IS

RECEPTACLE

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

4. Frequent "blowing" of fuses or tripping of circuit
breakers may result if:

(a) MOTOR IS OVERLOADED - Overloading can

occur-if you feed too rapidly or' if saw is
misaligned so that the blade heels (pg_ 18).

(b) MOTOR CIRCUIT IS FUSED DIFFERENTLY

FROM RECOMMENDATIONS- Always follow
instructions for the proper fuse/breaker. Do
not use a fuse/breaker of greater capacity

without consuFting a qualified electrician.

(c) LOW VOLTAGE - Although the motor is

designed for operation on the voltage and
frequency specified on motor nameplate,

normal loads will be handled safely on vol-
tages 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

5 Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or

incorrect connections, overloading, reduced
input voltage (such as small size wire in the

supply circuit) or to overly long supply circuit
wire Always check the connections, the load

and the supply circuit whenever motor fails to
perform satisfactorily Check wire sizes and
length with the Wire Size Chart below

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 (AWG)
extension cord Use only 3 wire extension cords

which have 3 prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole
receptacles which accept the tools plug

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

proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to
the saw motor°

ALIIGNMENT PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT: In order to obtain maximum cutting

accuracy and safety, 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 accuracy
of the preceeding adjustment.

Be sure to align the saw in the exact sequence
described to insure proper alignment and cutting
accuracy.

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 ONE

Adjusting Column Tube in Column Support

1• Elevate and then lower the arm.

(a) If the column binds and elevation is difficult,

loosen the four (4) bolts, with 9/16 socket and

extention, located through the holes in the

rear column support cover until movement is
smooth but firm.

(b) If column moves front to rear within the

column support, tighten the four (4) bolts,
with a 9/16 socket and extension, located

through holes in rear column support cover

until movement disappears. Elevation should
be smooth and firm, Recheck adjustments,

repeat steps (a) and (b) if necessary.

2.. Locate the four (4) plastic hole caps in loose
parts bag #532_ After all adjustments are made to

the column support insert the plastic caps in all
four holes in rear column support cover.

STEP TWO

NOTE: The following adjustment, performed proper-

ly, will result in the work table being parallel to the
arm This helps insure the blade will cut the same
depth along the entire crosscut travel.

ATTACHING AND LEVELING TABLE MOUNTING
SUPPORT CHANNELS

i. From the loose parts bag #499, locate the follow-

ing hardware:
4 - Hex Head Bolts 5/16-18 x 3/4

Squaring Crosscut Travel
NOTE: This adjustment helps ensure the blade

accurately travels square to the rip fence,

1, Index arm at 0° miter and lock,,

2 Install saw blade as shown.. Motor shaft has left

handed threads - turn nut counterclockwise to
tighten_

CAUTION: Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor
wrench to "snug" nut in place. Overtightening could

distort the blade collars and cause blade to wobble.

3. Lower arm until saw blade just clears the front
table. Be sure the miter lock handle and the bevel

lock handle are locked.

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 with a pencil,

NOTE: The framing (or combination) square must
be "true" - see chart of "Assembly and Alignment"

section on page 9 for checking method.

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 adjust-
ments are required,

(a) Loosen the four (4) 1/4-20 socket set screws

on both sides of the front column support (2
on each side) with a 1/8" Hex "L" wrench as

illustrated on next page

(b) Move the arm in the proper direction to make

marked tooth follow edge of square when the

saw blade is moved along arm in a "crosscut"

manner'.

(d) Recheck blade travel° Adjust arm position as

needed by readjusting upper screws only,

(e) 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 handwhee! is difficult, re-
adjust socket set screw tighteness as needed.

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 replacemenL Use of such a

cover will allow you to do all cutting into the cover,

rather than your table top,. This will help prevent

dulling of the saw blade and striking table mounting

hardware., Place tacks out of the path of the saw

blade°

Squaring Saw Blade to (Work) Table
NOTE: if alignment procedure step two was not

performed, this adjustment cannot be accomplished,

1, Place a framing square on the table with the short

leg against the saw blade Do not allow the
square to rest against a "set-out" tooth; it must
rest flat against the blade side,,

2. If the square does not touch the saw blade as
shown (with square held firm against table top)
the following adjustments are required.

(a) Tighten rip lock handle.

(b) Unlock bevel lock handle Do not un-index
