additional safety instructions for radial saws

CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cord before removing the guard, changing the cutting tool, changing

the set-up or making adjustments. Shut off motor before performing layout work on the saw table.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT POWER CORD UNTIL THE FOLLOWING STEPS HAVE BEEN SATISFACTORILY

COMPLETED:

I. Assembly and alignment.

II. Examination and operating familiarity with ON-OFF

switch, elevation control, yoke index and lock, bevel

index and lock, carriage lock, guard clamp screw, spreader and antikickback device, and miter index and lock.

III. Review and understanding of all Safety Instructions

and Operating Procedures thru-out manual.

INSTALLATION

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 that arm slopes slightly downward to the rear so the carrige 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 intoa sawbladeor

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 (complete with all its parts)is installed and set up as instructed.

before resuming operation.

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

SOURCE HAS BEEN LOCATED AND THE

PROBLEM CORRECTED

-- WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY

(GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR SAW) TO BECOME COMMONPLACE. ALWAYS

REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO INFLICT SEVERE

INJURY.

-- Before starting work, verify that no play exists between the column & column support, or in the

carriage, and that arm. 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". tf 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, base. 4

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 sawblade 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 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

additional safety instructions for radial saws

Never perform any operation "FREE HAND". This heel or by feeding from the wrong direction (see term means feeding the sawblade into the wor-kpiece or feeding the workpiece into the

sawblade or other cutting without using the fence or some other device which prevents rotating 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 table or the workpiece and be propelled toward you.

The sawblade, dado, or other cutting too! must be

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

end of the saw arbor.

Do not use fences made of chipboard -- use 3/4 in.

virgin lumber only, extending in one piece from

end to end of the saw table. The fence should

extend above-the table surface approx, two-thirds

the thickness of the workpiece (for a 1-1/2" thick

workpiece, the fence should be 1 in. high), but

never less than 3/4 in. If a thin facing is added to

the top of the table (to preserve the original table),

fabricate and install a new fence complying with

above height instructions.

(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. Neyer 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" or "WORK

HELPERS" (see pg. 26) for rip cuts less than 6 in.

wide. Do not rip anyworkpiece that is shorter than

12 in.

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. CAUTION: Never reposition the Guard or antikickback with power "ON".

6. 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 betweon 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

"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.

7. Position the nose of the guard to just clear the workpiece, and position/adjust the antikickback and spreader devices as instructed.

8. NEVER cut more than one piece at any time by

stacking workpieces vertically.

9. NEVER feed a workpiecethru 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.

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.

12. Plastic and composition (like hardboard)

materials may be cut on our 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/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 stock 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.

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 may 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 front 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 control and possible injury.

4. Do not position the Arm so the operation you are

performing permits the cutting tool 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 on page 34. Follow instructions supplied with the

accessory.

2. Never operate this saw when equipped with a rotary planer or dado head or molding head unless the molding head guard is installed-- see listing of recommended accessories. The only exception is when "top-side" dadoing or molding, when the sawblade guard must be used. See detailed

instructions that accompany the rotary planer, 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.)

4. Drill Chuck: Do not install or use any twist drill larger than 1/2-inch in dia., or longer than 7inches in length orextending 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 the arbor

wrench to just "snug" it.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: CHANGES IN ELECTRICAL CONNEC-

TIONS SHOULD BE MADE BY A QUALIFIED

ELECTRICIAN.

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, if any of the following conditions exists, it will be advisable for you to reconnect the

motor for 208/240V 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 208/240V operations are also

described following. Whenever changing connections from 120V to 208/240V or vice-versa,

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.

OVERLOAD PROTECTOR

1. If the protector opens the li ne and stops the saw motor, immediately 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. If the red button will not snap into place immediately, the motor

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

(An audible click will 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

LOCATION AND FUNCTION OF CONTROLS

result if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused differently from recommendations. Overloading

can occur if you feed too rapidly or if your saw is misaligned so that the blade heels. Do#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 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 supplycircuit, 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.

NOTE: For safety reasons in accordance with the UL standard, stops have been provided to prevent 360 ° rotation 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 shouid slide back and forth with only Blight 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.

3. Elevate, and then lower the Arm: (a)if the column binds and elevation-is difficult loosen two 5/16 - 18

plated bolts 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 bolts until movement

disappears - elevation should be smooth and firm.

4. Now tighten the (2) 1/_ - 20 Gib set screws until no

noticeable rotational play exists between Column Tube and Column Support.

5. Recheck elevation and re-adjust if necessary.

STEP THREE

SQUARING CROSS CUT TRAVEL (CARRIAGE TRAVELS IN ASTRAIGHT LINE).

1. Index but do not lock arm at 0° miter.

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