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

SATISFACTORI LY 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 anti-kickback device, and miter index and

lock.

I11. Review and understarlding of all Safety Instructions and

Operating Procedures thru-out manual.

INSTALLATION

f. St_Lcarriage lock before moving the saw.

2. Bolt the saw to the floor if it tends to slip, walk, or shale during normal operation.

3. Mount the saw so the table

is approximatel v 39" above the floor; slopes slightly downward to the rear so the carriage

wilt not roll forward due to gravity.

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 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 is installed and set up as instructed.

--NOTE THE FOLLOWING DANGER LABELS

WHICH APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF THE YOKE AND GUARD:

INTO I

CUTTING

TOOL FROM

: THIS END

- Always maintain control of the workpiece -- DO NOT "let go" the workpiece until the cutting tool

has come to a stop.

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 UNI"IL 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 with the

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

"KICKBACK" occurs when a part or all of the workpiece is thrown back violently toward 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 (or other workpiece) 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 and down against the table surface.

-Never use a length stop on the free end of the workpiece when crosscutting. Never hang onto or

touch the free end of workpiece when crosscutting, or a free piece that is cut off when ripping while power is "ON" and/or the saw blade is rotating. In short, the cut-off piece in any "thru-sawing" (cutting completely thru the workpiece) 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 in "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.

-Never perform any operation "FREE HAND". This term means feeding the sawblade into the workpiece (crosscutting) or feeding the sawblade or other

cutting tool (ripping) without using the fence to

additional safety instructions for radial saws

support or guide the workpiece, to prevent 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 workpiece and be propelled toward you.

-The sawblade, dado, or other cutting tool 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 ends of the saw arbor.

(B) RIPPING

1. Feed force when ripping must always be applied BETWEEN THE SAW BLADE AND THE FENCE .

• . use a "PUSH STICK" 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 anti-kickback pawls will stop a kickback once it has started. Points of pawls must be SHARP. Replace

when points are dull or rounded.

5. Use a push stick when ripping short (under 12 inches) or narrow (under 6 inches wide) wolkpieces.

6. CAUTION: Never reposition the Guard or anti-kickback with power "'ON".

7. A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type operation, It can occur when the workpiece closes

m 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 outfeed side. "PINCHING"

is generally avoided by utilization of the spreader, and a sharp sawblade of the corrective type for the workpiece being cut. "HEEL" can be avoided by

maintaining the sawblade exactly parallel to the fence. (see "DANGER" warning on guard) - it carl

be. avoided by maintaining parallelism of sawblade to fence, feeding into the sawblade from the nose of the guard only, and by utilizing the spreader.

8. Position the nose of the guard to just clear the workpiece, and position/adjust the anti-kickback

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), ever] if of the same thickness. Feed each workplace individually thru the sawblade, and completely beyond the sawblade, before ripping the next workplace. 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 Ior}g pieces.

12. Plastic and composition {like styrene and

hardboard) materials may be cut on your saw.

However, since these are usually quite hard and

slippery, the anti-kickback 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". This will minimize the tendency for the sawblade to climb upon top of the

workpiece, and possibly cause an accident. DO NOT let go of or stop feeding the workpiece between the

blade and fence until you have pushed it completely past the anti-kickback 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. If bowed across

the width, place concave side down against the

table.

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 anti-kickback pawls to just clear the top of the

fence or workpiece, whichever is higher.

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.

(D) ACCESSORIES

1. Use only recommended accessories as listed on page

33.

2. Never operate this saw when equipped with a dado head or molding head unless the molding head

guard is installed - see listing of recommended accessories. The only exception is when "Lop-side" dadoing or molding, when the sawblade guard must be used. See detailed instructions that accompany

the dado head, molding head, and molding head

guard.

3. The use of 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.)

When the carriage is moved back and forth on the radial arm, the marked tooth should just touch the square at

all points. If marked tooth does not touch the square at all points, make the following adjustments:

If marked tooth moves into the square when moving

the blade from the rear toward the front of the table, tap the left hand front edge of the table with a mallet as shown (Loosen table attaching screws slightly if

necessary). If the marked tooth moves away from the square when

moving saw from the rear to the front of saw table, tap the right hand front edge of the table.

Recheck and, if correct, tighten all table hold-down

screws securely. Set indicator at 0 ° position.

NOTE: This squaring of the cross cut travel will simultaneously set BOTH of the 45 ° miter index

positions.

In extreme cases, the above adjustment procedure may not be sufficient due to rough handling during shipment. Make the following adjustment only after

tightening the table hold-down screws and the cross cut cannot be squared according to the preceding adjustment routine.

a. Remove radial arm cap and miter-scale indicator. b. Turn the arm latch knob one-quarter turn

counterclockwise.

c. Loosen (do not remove) two hex-head screws

located inside the column tube.

Move the radial arm slightly in proper direction to make marked tooth follow edge of square when the

saw blade is moved along arm in a "cross cut" manner.

e. Retighten the hex head screws in column tube,

retighten arm latch knob.

LEVELING FRONT TABLE

Lay the rear table board on edge across the front table to serve as a straightedge. Sight under this straightedge to determine whether the front table board is high or

low at its center.

If the front table is high at center, first tighten the center (¼ - 20x 1-1/4 inch) hold down screw until the

table is level -- then tighten the leveling screw until this screw is snug. If table is low at center, first tighten the leveling screw

until the table is level -- then tighten the hold down

screw.

Recheck travel of blade.

After the cross cut has been accurately squared, install the radial arm cap and miter-scale indicator.

Set the indicator at the 0° .position.
