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 one piece 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 locks to make su re any new fence is held secu rely(see page 18).

--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 tool larger in

diameter than the diameter for which the saw was designed.

--q-o 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 anything hitting the

bladecausingthe saw to unexpectedlycome forward.

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

of a second 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, tn 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 or some other

proper device to prevent the workpiece from twisting and binding on the cutting tool during the cutting operation.

-- 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 being pulled into the back of the blade

before you can let go or react, never reach in back

of, or around the cutting tool, with either hand to

hold down the workpiece or for any reason.

-- 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 is stalled 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 20). Adjust as indicated.

-- 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 sawblade or workpiece.

Whenever possible, use the "in-rip" position. (See

page 31.) 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

fromthenoseside(oppositethesawdustexhaust chute) of the guard. Notethe warningon the guard.

INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE

-- To keep the sawblade from rising up on top of the

workpiece and throwing it back at the operator, when sawing 1/4" or thinner materials, follow all

normal ripping procedures except set sawblade

into the table top at least 1/8".

-- To avoid kickback, 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. If the workpiece cannot be made stable

against the fence and table top, do not cut it with a radial arm saw.

-- To avoid blade contact and/or kickback, use a push stick when ripping short (10 to 12 inches

long) or narrow (2 to 6-1/2 inches wide) work- pieces. Usea push block as illustrated on page 30

for pieces 3/8 to 2 inches wide or, wherever

possible, place the wider section of the board between the fence and the blade.

--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, oo +-,

-- 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 clear 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 workp_ece between the blade and the fence until the piece

has been pushed completely past the blade, so the blade will 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

provideadditionalguardingfromcontactwiththe frontoftheblade.

--To preventthe cutting tool from grabbingthe tableor workpieceandbeingpropelledtoward you,neverlowerarevolvingcuttingtoolintothe tableoraworkpiecewithoutfirstlockingtherip

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 theworkpieceand 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

43.

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.

Thesawblade, dado, orothercutting 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 sawarborto

avoid being pulled into moving parts by hair, threads, clothing, etc. Make sure the unused arbor is always covered by a guard, 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 longer than 7" in length or extend- ing more than 6" beyond the chuck jaws. Do not

install or use any reduced shank drill except the spade type (!" diameter or smaller). Use for drilling wood or plastic only - bit speed cannot be

properly adjusted for other materials. Do not use

twist drills larger than 1/2" in diameter.

CAUTION: TO AVOID MOTOR DAMAGE THIS MOTOR SHOULD BE BLOWN OUTOR VACUUMED FREQUENTLY TO PREVENT SAWDUST BUILD- UP WHICH WILL INTERFERE WITH NORMAL MOTOR VENTILATION.

1. This tool should be connected toa 120V, 15Amp 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 unplugged and the blade freed from the wood. The motor may now be restarted and the

cut finished.

RECEPTACLE

4. Frequent "blowing" of fu£e£ 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. 19,20).

(b) MOTOR CIRCUIT tS FUSED DIFFERENTLY

FROM RECOMMENDATIONS - Always follow instructions for the proper fuse/breaker. Do

not use a fuse/breaker of greater capacity without consulting a qualified electrician.

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 (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.

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.

ALIGNMENT 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 #497. 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 pro- perly, will result in the work table being flat and parallel to the arm. This helps insure the blade will cut the same depth along the entire crosscut travel.

LEVELING FRONT WORK TABLE

1. Loosen the three (3) leveling screws located in the center of the table with a 1/8" hex 'L' wrench.

2. Check the five (5) mounting screws to make sure they are snug. Do not over tighten.

3. Push the bevel lock handle to the right to release the motor. Index the motor with the saw blade end of the motor shaft down and lock bevel lock

handle to the left.

4. Slide the carriage so the motor shaft is in the center of front table board.

5. Unlock the miter lock handle in the unindex position as shown, and position the arm to the

left.

6. Lay the arbor wrench on the work table under the motor shaft. Carefully lower the arm with the elevation handle until the motor shaft is just touching the arbor wrench. The wrench should slide back and forth with only slight contact with

motor shaft.

NOTE: When moving the arm from the left side to the right it is necessary to move the motor along the arm to check the front table at several points from front to

back.

7. Starting from the left side of the front table board, move the Radial Arm to the right checking

the table with the arbor wrench to determine the

lowest spot in the table. Once the lowest spot in

the table is determined, you can begin to level the table.

NOTE: For safety reasons, stops have been provided to prevent 360° rotation of the radial arm.

8. Position the arm over the lowest spot in the table and repeat Step 6.

9. Tighten the mounting screws located at the high

spots in the table with a Phillips screwdriver. Then recheck the entire table. Make sure center

leveling hex screws are loose.

NOTE: Do not change this elevation setting until the

entire work table has been adjusted.

10. Lay the rear table board on edge across the front table to serve as a straightedge to determine whether the front table board is high or low at its

center.

11. If the front table is high at center, first tighten the center hold down screw until table is level - then

tighten the three (3) leveling screws until those screws are tight. If table is low at center, first

loosen the center holddown screw, then tighten the three (3) leveling screws until table is level.
