slide during normal operation.

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

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 TQ FOLLOW
setup and operahng instructions:

(A) GENERAL

-- Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip
could ca use a hand to move into a sawblade or other

cutting tool. Never reach in back of or around the
cutt=ng 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 [he proper

can!age, and that arm, yoke, and bevel locks/clamps

are tight.

A large proportion of saw accidents is caused by use
of the w_ong type blade, dull, badly set, improperly
sharpened cutting tools, by gum or resh] 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 [s 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 ts 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. Neve_

hang onto or touch the free end of workpieee when
crosscutting, or a free piece that is cut off while
power is "ON" and/or the saw blade is rotating, tn
short, the cut-off piece m 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 tbe saw is designed, since

ur_der 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 reated 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 w thout first locking the Carriagu Lock

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

workpiece and be propelled toward yo_

additional safety instructions for radial saws

--The sawblade, dado, or other cutting tool must be 12. DO NOT pull theworkpiecethroughthesawblade-
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.

-Do not use fences made of chipboard - use 3/4"
virgin lumber only, extending in one piece from end

to end of the saw table.

(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 al! 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

sawbtade 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

workp_ece, 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. NEVER use another person as a substitute for a
table extension, or as additional support for a
workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic saw
table, or to assist in feeding or supporting or pulling

the workpiece.

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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

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

sawblade.

16, 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.

17. 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.

18.

For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a
workprece to which a push stick or push board is
applied must be square (perpindicular to the fence)

in order that feed pressure applied to theworkpiece
by the push stick or block does not cause the

workpiece to come away from the fence, and
possibly cause a kickback.

19.Duringripandriptypecuts,theworkpiecemustbe
helddownonthetableandagainstthefencewitha

push stick, push block, or featherboards. A
featherboard is made of solid lumber per sketch.

24"- - _l

5/'16" APART

(C) CROSSCUTTING

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 ma_, 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. This provides
additional guarding.

3. NEVER gang crosscut - lining up more than one
workpiece in froJ3t 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 controt
and possible iniury.

4. Do not position the Arm so the operation you are
performing permits the cutting too! to extend

beyond the edges of the Table.

5. Top-side dadoing or molding across the grain are

examples of crosscut-type cuts. The same basic
procedures including positioning of the
AKB/Spreader device as for crosscutting, apply.

(D) ACCESSORIES

1. Use only recommended accessories as listed qn page

34.

2. Never operate this saw when equipped 9vith a dado
head or molding head unless the mc)lding head

guard is installed see listing of recommended
accessories. The only exception is when "'tOP side"

dadoing or molding, when the sawblade guaid must
be used. See detaited instructions that.accompaey_ z

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 gla_s.)

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 ex.tending 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."
NOTE: Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor wrenches
to just "snug" it.

1, Changing Motor Connections

a. Under normal home workshop usage, and if proper

{full) voltage is supplied to the motor, your saw will
operate efficiently on 120V, as connected at the
factory However, ifanyofthe following conditions
exists, pt will be advisable for you to reconnect the

motor for 240V operation - to obtain the
efficiency 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

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

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

motor ventilation.

Your saw motor is equipped with a manual reset,
thermal-overload protector designed to open the power-line
circuit when the motor temperature exceeds a safe value.

a. Remove nameplate cover from motor to expose

terminal board.

b. The w_res inside of the motor must be connected as

shown

PROTECT_

1. If the pr(>tector opens the line and stops the saw motor,
_mmediately press the saw switch to the "'OFF"

position, and allow the motor to cool.

2 After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the

overload protector can be closed manually by pushing
in the red button on the top of the motor. I1 the red
button will not snap _nto place immediately, the motor

is still to,) hot and must be allowed to cool for a while
longer. In some cases this may take 20-30 minutes. {An

audible cick wil! indicate protector is closed.)

3. As soon as the red button will snap into running
position the saw may be started and operated
normally by pulling out the saw switch to the "ON"
position.

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 [he blade heels. Do f_ot 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 tracedi to loose or
incorrect connections, overloading, reduced input
voltage (such as small size wires in the supply circuit) or
to an overly lung supply circuit. Always check the

connections, the load and the supply ciri:0itTwheneverl
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 tvpe 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.

ACCURACY, THE FOLLOWING SIX STEPS

MUST BE CAREFULLY FOLLOWED.

BECOME THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH

THESE STEPS SO THAT YOU CAN AL WA YS

MAINTAIN YOUR SAW IN PROPER
ALIGNMENT. THE ACCURACY OF EACH

ADJUSTMENT IS ALWAYS DEPENDENT

UPON THE ACCURAC Y OF THE PRECEDING

ADJUSTMENT.

NOTE: For safety reasons in accordance with the UL

standard, stops have been provided to prevent 360 °

_otation of the radial arm.

4. Slide 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. Ti _hten 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.
