CONNECTING THE MOTOR TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Motor Spec_cations
115/230 volt, 10/5 amps, 3450 RPM, 60 cycle, alternating
current (AoC. only) single phase, non-reverslbteo Rotation:
clockwlse viewing saw blade end of motor shaft.
The motor as shipped is connected for 115 volts_ For 115
volt operation see Figures 6 and 7 for connecting plug
and cord from saw into 115 volt receptacle.
Safety Precaution
The saw motor is equipped with a manual reset, therme]
oveHoad protector. If during operation this protector opens
the line, immediately turn the switch "Off". The protector
can be closed again after the motor has cooled by firmly
pushing the red button on the capacitor cover until the
protector snaps into the running position. Do not tap or
strike the reset button_ This protector is not intended to
take the place of a fuse as the protector will not provide
protection against overloads or short circuits in the lines
leading to the motor. The motor should not be operated on
a load which ca usesthe protector to open the line frequently°
For circuit protection use a "Fustat" or "'Fusetran" fuse
--15 ampere fuse for 115 volt operation and 7½ am-
pere fuse fop 230 volt operation.

CHECKING THE SAW BLADE FOR HEEL
(LEFT AND RIGHT)
Using a scrap piece of one-lnch lumber approximately six
inches wide, lay it on the table against the fence on the left
side of the blade. Position the board ta permit a three-inch
piece to be cut from the right end holding the beard firmly
against the fence wffh the left hand. Turn the key switch
"On" and commence the cut by pulling the saw forward
through the board until the front half of the saw blade clear_
as _hown in View A_ Turn the switch "Off" and atlow the
saw blade to come to a complete _op while the rear portion
of the blade is r_itl in contact with the wood, Marks on the
face of the board indicate left heeling. Check face of cut
board. See View A_ To check for right beefing repeat the
same cut from the right side of the blade. Check for heel
marks° See View B.
NOTE
The piece of wood must be held firmly against the
fence and not permitted to move while the saw

RAISING AND LOWERING THE RADIAL ARM is ac-
complished by the elevation crank (Item 18, figure 19). One
complete turn of this handte will raise or lower_the radial
€l/'m _,_".
LOCKING THE CARRIAGE TO THE RADIAL ARM is
accomplished by the carriage lock knob (Item 7, figure 19).
Turn the knob clockwise to lock; counterclockwise to unlock.
ANGULAR MOVEMENT AND LOCKING OF THE RADIAL
ARM are controlled by the arm latch handle (item 12,
figure 19). The radial arm can be rotated 360 ° and locked
in any position. The arm is unlocked from any position by a
slight counterclockwise rotation of the arm latch handle
and is locked in any position by rotating the arm latch
handle clockwise until tight. The radial arm has positive
stops at 0 ° and 45 ° left and right, and is released from
these index positions by unlocking and pulling out the arm
latch handle (Item 12, figure 19). Due to positive arm
locking at the index positions, the arm latch handle
may be difficult to pull out. A few turns to the left will
release i|.
For most positive and accurate settings at the index posi-
tions, the following is recommended:
1. if the radio1 arm is already indexed, unlock and pull
out the arm latch handle and move the radial arm off
of the index position. Release the arm latch handle.
2. Before moving the radial arm to the desired index posi-
tion, turn the arm latch handle (item 12, figure 19) just
1/4 turn counterclockwise from the locked position.
3. Move the radia! arm into the index position (do not
bump or jar) and hit the face of the arm latch handle
solidly with the palm of the hand.
4. Lock the radial arm by turning the arm latch handle tufty
clecl_,vise.
CAUTION: When moving the radial arm in any
direction beyond _° left or right, always pull out
11
the arm latch handle (at end of radial arm) to
prevent damaging the arm lock pln_ If damage
occurs, the radial arm wiff not index properly at
0 ° and 45_ left or right.
MOVEMENT AND POSITION OF THE MOTOR IN THE
YOKE are,controlled by the latch pln handle (item 10, figure
19) and beveZlock knob (Item 16, figure 19). The bevel scale
indicates the angular position of the motor with respect to
the horizontal from 0 _ to 90 ° in either vertical pos'rtionoThe
latch pin handle automatically indexes the motor at 0 °, 45 °,
and 90 ° up and da'_n. Lift to release. At any other posi-
tion the latch pin handle isnot engaged. The bevel lock knob
locks the motor to the yoke when the motor is in any posi-
tion. Locking is clockwise; unlocking is counterclockwise.
MOVEMENT AND POSITION OF THE YOKE are con-
troffed by the swivel latch pin knob (Item 9, figure 19) and
the yoke clamp handle (Item 5, figure 19). The swivel latch
pin automatically indexes the yoke at each 90 ° position and
two 45 ° positions_ Lift to release_ The yoke clamp handle
locksthe yoke to the carriage in any position. Pull to release.
Pushto tighten. When "in Ripping" it may be desirable to
have more flee table in front of the saw blade than is oh-
tainable when the radial arm is at the 0 ° posltlon_ With
the blade in th normal cross-cut position index the radial
arm to 45 ° left and lock it. Then loosen the yoke clamp
handle and index tile yoke 45 ° clockwise_ Redamp the
yoke clamp handle. The added free table space is now to
the right of the blade and ripping should be done from the
right side of the table. The reverse is also true for "Out
Ripping" by indexing the radial arm 45 ° right and index-
ing the yoke ,45° countercTackwlse_ The added table space
is now ta the left of the blade and ripping should be done
from the left s_de of the table.
CAUTION: Under these two conditions the In-Rip
and Out-Rip scales cannot be used.

PROPEROPERATINGPROCEDURES
DRESS PROPERLY -- Operation of the saw is simple, safe
and easy-when properly done. Always be atert_ Do not
wear a tie or other loose artlcles. Keep long sleeves down
with cuffs fastened or wear short sleeves. NEVER STOP
BEING CAREFUL. One moment of inattention can cost you
a painful injury.
AVOID AWKWARD HAND POSITIONS-*Do not get
hands into a position in which a sudden slip can cause them
to move into the saw blade. NEVER OPERATE THE SAW
WITH THE ARMS IN A CROSSED POSITION. Never hold
work on right side of blade with left hand while pulling saw
with the right hand Do not attempt flee-hand cros_.cuttlngo
Use a push stickwhen hand gets too close to the blade in o
ripping position.
NEVER TWIST WORK --Twisting work will bind blade and
cause a kickback_
Safety Precaution
The motor is shipped with a shaft cap (Item 21,
figure 4) threaded onto the stub end of the motor
shaft_When this shaft end of the motor isnot being
used, this cap should always be in place.
LUBR|CATriON
Your saw is a fine machine and should be given the best of
care. If kept clean and properly lubricated, it will give many
years of trouble-free service° Before describing the various
points which may periodically require lubrication, IT 15
MORE IMPORTANT TO FIRST MENTION THE VARIOUS
SPOTS WHICH SHOULD NOT BE LUBRICATED°
NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED
Do not lubricate any ball races or any ball bearings.
Do not lubrTcate bearing fit of bevel index handle (Item 52,
figure 3) in yoke.
Do not lubricate the motor bearings° These are sealed ball
bearings and require no added lubrication.
Do not lubricate bevel latch pin (Item 31, figure 3) in yoke.
DO not lubricate between radial arm cap (Item 12, figure 1)
and radial arm_
PERIODICALLY LUBRICATE THESE POINTS
Use SAE No. 10-30 Auto Engine Oilo
Apply a few drops of all along the swivel latch pin (item 6,
figure 3) only ff the pin has a tendency to stick.Remove the
left-hand carriage cover and use all sparingly to prevent it
from getting on the ball bearings or races.
A light film of oil can be wiped on the face of the column
tube (Item 15, figure 1) and keyway to lubricate the fit
between this part and the key and column support (Items
21 and 19, figure 2).
Apply a few drops of all to the bearing surfaces of the
elevation crank shaft assembly (Item 29, figure 2). An othng
hole is provided in the elevaffon shaft bearing bracket (Item
23, figure 2) to facilitate the lubrication of the rear bearing
support.
The thread on the elevation shaft assembly (Item 30, figure
2) can be lubricated through the oiling hole in the center
of the radial arm cap (Item 12, figure I).
STANDARDSAW OPERATIONS
CROSS,CUI"rlNG
Crass-cuttlng is the sawing of wood acrossthe grain. Planks
ore milled with the grain running the length of the plank_ If
a straight cross-cut is desired, the board is placed on the
saw table against the fence so that the grain is parallel to
the fence. See Figure 26.
NOTE
When cross-cuttlng normal pieces of lumber, the
long end of the board should be placed to the left
of the saw blade as the board isnormally held by
the left hand during operation_
The radial arm must be positioned at 0 ° as indicated by the
radial arm position indicator. The arm latch handle must be
indexed and tightened_ See page 11 "Angular Movement
and Lockingof the Radial Arm" far the mostaccurate setting
at the 0 ° index position. The yoke must be indexed at the 0 °
position, making the saw blade perpendicular to the rip
fence, and the yoke clamp handle placed in the locked pos_-
• .. o €IS
fion. The bevel index handle must be positioned at 0 ,
indicated by the bore| scale, and Iocked_ Turn the elevation
crank to lower the saw until the btade teeth are approxl-
mately 1/32" below the table surface in the saw slot
made when performing the "PREI.IMINARY CROSS-CUT
AT THE 0 ° POSITION". Push the saw carriage to the rear
of the radial arm so the blade is behind the rip fence. Adjust
the saw guard so the bottom is parallel to the table and set
the antl-klckback pawl assembly so it iust clears the board
to be cut. Turn the switch key "On" to start the saw motor.
Hold the board firmly against the rip fence with the left hand
and grasp the bevel index handle with the right hand. The
cut is then made by pulling the carriage forward until the
13
Page 14
saw _lode cuts through the work_
The carriage will tend to move toward the operator so be
,prepared to restrain it by keeping your arm straight from
fife shoulder to the wrist, When the cut is complete, the saw
should be returned to the back of the radial arm and the
swltch key turned "Off". it will be noticed, that the
saw blade tends to feed itself through the work
due to the rotation of the blade and the direction of
feed. Therefore, the operator should develop the habit
of holding his right arm straight from the shoulder
to the wrlst_ After this method is used a few times the oper-
ator will find that it is necessary to roll or rotate the body
from the waist up. If this method is followed, it will become
apparent that very little effort is required on the pert of the
operator to move the saw blade through the work, and in
mostcases,the right arm isused merely to control the rate of
feed of the saw through the board_ It will also be found that
when cross-cuttlng a thick board itwilt be necessary to retard
movement of the saw through the work. By holding the right
arm (right hand normally grips the saw handle) _alght, the
operator can easily control the rate of feed, thusprever_ing
the saw blade from overfeeding and stalling the saw motor.
Thismustbe avoided whenever possible. In some casesit may
become necessary to cross-cut tong boards which extend
over the saw table on one, or both sides. This can cause
buckling of the board and bind the sow during the cut, To
eliminate th;s condition the ends of the board should be sup-
ported. Figure 27 illustrates a typical support which can be
made and used to facilitate cross<utting of long lumber°
RIPPING
Ripping is the sawing of wood with the grain. It is always
done with the help of the fence as a guide to position and
maintain the work at the correct width for the cut_Because
the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a reason..
ably straight edge to make sliding contact with the fence°
Also, the work must make solid contact wlth the table sathat
it will not wobble or rock. Provide a straight edge, even if
this means temporary nailing of an auxiliary straight edge
board to the work_ If work piece is warped, torn the hollow
side down.
Use of the sow guard isalways recommended; and the arrti-
kicEback paw! assembly shou|d always be used in both in-rip
or our-rip operations, Before ripping and after the saw has
been positioned prior to cutting, the saw guard and anti-
kickback pawl assembly must be properly adjusted_ Loosen
the wing nut holding the guard to the motor and lower the
nose of the guard to within _" above the top surface of
the board to be cu_. Refighten the wing n_ securely.
CAUTION
The nose of the guard refers to that end of the
guard which is opposite to the end which mounts the
anti-kickback pawl assembly. Always rlp from the
nose of the guard. See Warning [.abel on guard.
At the opposite end of the guard, loosen the wing screw
holding the anti-kickback pawl assembty and lower the
assembly until the tips of the pawls are 7/8" below the top
_Jrface of the board to be cu/_ Retighten the wing screw
IN-RIPPING--In-rip refers to a posltion when the blade is
between the motor and the fence and parallel to the fence.
See Figure 28. To place the sow in this position, unlock the
yoke, disengage the swivel latch pin and rotate the yoke 90 °
clockwise (viewing it from the carriage) until the swivel latch
pin automatically indexes the yoke 90% Relock the yoke.
See "'Adjustment of Pointers" to check accuracy of "lnoRip"
scale reading. Position the motor on the radial arm until the
pointer on the "In-Rip" scale indicates the desired width of
the finished cut board_ Tighten the carriage lock knob se-
curely. Position the discharge elbow on the guard _o that
sawdust will be blown toward the rear of the saw. Turn the
saw "'On" end lower the saw blade until it cuts intothe table
top about 1/32",, Turn the saw "Off"° Haw adjust the
saw guard and anti.kickback pawl assembly as described
in the paragraph "Ripping". The board to be ripped
must be fed into the saw blade from the right side of
the table, therefore, the normal position for the operator
is also at the right side of the table. With the left hand safely
clear of the blade and holding the board to be ripped down
against the table and against the face of the fence as a
guide, use the right hand to feed the board into the saw. The
left hand should remain stationary, serving as a guide only.
As the right hand approaches the left hand, hold a push stick
with the right hand to complete the cut°Do not leave a long
board unsupported so that the spring of the board causesit
to shift on the table_ A support like that described in "Cross_
Cutting" can be used to support the board behind the blade;
and if the board is very long, useanother support in front of
the saw° R_pped boards up to 8_" wide can be cut in
the In-Rip posltiom
OUT-RIPPING-_Ouf_rip refers to a position when the motor
is between the blade and the fence° Normally, this position
is only used when the width of the required ripped board
cannot be cut from the in-rip position. Ripped boards up to
181,_°' wide can be cut in the out_rlp position when the
fence is against the front table. If the fence is moved to the
extreme rear position against the table clamps, ripped
boards up to 25,%" wide can be cut_ To place the saw
in the out.rip position, the yoke mustbe rotated and indexed
90 ° counterclockwise from the crossocutposition and locked..
The same procedure far sawing is used except that now
the operator stands at the left side of the table and a push
stick is normally nat required°
NOTE
For added table space in front of the blade see
"Movement and Positionof the Yoke".

RESAWING
Resowing is the cutting of thick boards into thinner ones_ It
is a ripping operatiano See Figure 29. Smalt boards-up to
2½" maximum wldth--can be resawed in one pass; but
larger boards up to S" maximum require two passes,
one pass along each edge of the board.r When two cuts
from opposite edges are required, these should be made
to overlap _,_" from the approximate center of the board_
If the first cut istoo deep, the kerf will close and bind the
saw an the second cut, with danger of kickback° Also, when
the kerf closes,the two sides of the cutare na longer parallel
to the saw blade, and the saw will cut into them to spoil
their appearance_ Keep the same face af the board against
the fence when making both cuts.
When cutting boards thicker than 4"° a fence should be used
which extends 3½" above the table topr When cutting
boards thicker than 5", cut both sides and finish the cut
wlth a hand saw_
BEVEL AND MITER CUTS
Bevel cutscan be made from either a crass-cuttingor ripping
position by tilting the blade to the desired angle. Miter cuts
can be made only from a cross-cutting position when the
blade and radial arm are at some angle other than 90 = to
the fence° A bevel miter cut is a cut which is both beveled
arid mitered. This cut is made with the blade and radial arm
set at the desired miter angle to the fence and then the blade
only is tilted with respect ta the table top to the desired beve!
angle. This cut isalso referred to as a compound miter, See
Figure 30_
USE OF THE DADO HEAD
The dado saw or head, as it is called, is a special set of
blades for cutting grooves and dados_ Craftsman 8" Krom.
edge Dada Set can be purchased at any Sears Retail Store
or Mall Order House. The head consistsof two autside blades
I/8" thick, six 1/8" thick chipper blades and Paper wash-
ers for' 1/t6" width adjustments. With these blades, grooves
of 1/8", 1/4", and additional widths increased in steps of
1/t6" up to a maximum of 13/16" wide can be cut. Outside
blades con be used alone, chippers cannot°
When using the moxlmum width of dado of 13/16" on
the motor shaft, the outside Ioo_e collar (Item 38, Figure 1)
must not be used. The width of the dado can be reduced
while usingthe loose collar and two or more passes can be
made with the work to obtain the desired width of cut°
Whenever two or more chippers are used, stagger the cut-
ting ends as evenly as possible around the clrcumference_
Fractlanat adjustments inthicknessof the head can be made
by using paper washers between the outside blades and
chippers° Dado head operations are much the same as those
with a standard blade-but the dado head takes a bigger
bite, so that the work-place should be held more firmly.
When a groove wider than the dado head is needed, make
Figure 31 Figure 32
two or mare passes_Space cuts so that they oveddp a trifle.
Dado work is done in the cross-cut position. Ploughing is
done in the ripping position. If the rip or plough position is
usedthe saw guard and anti-kickback pawl assembly should
be adjusted as described in the paragraph "RIPPING". Rab-
beting is done in the vertical position. See Figure 31. When
rabbeting, the motor is indexed 90 ° to the vertlcat position
so that the blades are between the table tap and the motor
and the yoke is indexed 90 oclockwise and locked° The sow is
moved back on the radio1 arm and locked to the arm when
the amount of the blade extending forward of the fence is
equal to the depth of the rabbet desired, tf the depth of the
rabbet is large, do not attempt to cut it in one operation.
Lower the radial arm until the blades are in a position to cut
the desired width of rabbet in the edge of the board, The
bottom of the saw guard should be parallel to the fence and
the discharge elbow directed to the rear of the sown
MOLDING OR SHAPING
Th_swork is done using the Craftsman Molding Cutter Head
and a set of cutters depending on the type of molding cut
desired. This work isdone with the saw in the some position
as that described for rabbetlng_ See Figure 32. Since the
position of the cutters with respect to the fence and the
table top can be adjusted any or all of the cutter shapes
can be used.
ROUTING AND DOVETAILING
Routing and dovetailing are done with the motor indexed
and locked 90 ° from the horizanta! except that this time
the externally threaded stub end opposite the normal blade
end is between the "motor and the table top. The foffow-
ing chucks will mate with this external ½-20 thread: (See
Figure 33)°

1/4'" router
3/8" router
1/2" router
5/8" router
3/8" dovetail
1/2 °° dovetoff
Figure 33
Routing may be done by either moving the work wffh a
stationary router or by clamping the work to the table and
moving the router. Always approach the router bit from the
left hand side af the saw.

Your saw can also be €onveded 1o a horZzonta| drill for
boring by using one of the recommended c_ucks ahd the
proper drill For drilling holes on an angle the radial arm
d_ould be positioned to the desired angle while the work is
parallel to the fence, See Figure34.
SANDING
Using the 10" sanding disc mounted on the saw end of the
motor, you can convert your saw into a sander which can be
operated in any position° The loose collars should be used
on both sides of the sanding disc°
STABILIZING WASHERS FOR THIN bLADES
Stabilizlng washers should be used with thin btades for
improved appearance of the finish cuts.
HELPFUL HINTS
1_ The life of the laminated saw table can be greatly length-
ened if a 1¼,,piece of plywood istacked to the table top
after leveling Then all cutting can be done in the added
plebe of plywood instead of the laminated table.
_. There is a posslbility that during or after shipment, the
wooden front tab|e; spacer board, or rear table might
became slightly warped Lay a straight edge across the
surface of the table and check for gaps or high spotson
the table. Any portions of the table which are not fiat
should be planed and sanded until flat Sanding can be
done by using one of the two key chucks referred to
under "'Routing" and a Craftsman moulded rubber 7"
sanding disc_
2. When sanding the table top (See Figure 35) oI"routing
with the work stationary, the arm lock pln can be pre-
vented from automotlcally indexing at 0 ° and 45 ° by
rotating the arm latch handle about 6 turns counter-
clockwise from the locked position_
4. A scale may be attached to the fence to aid the oper-
at'or whenmeasuring lengths during cToss-cutoperations.
This can be accomplished by ta_ing a yard stick to the
fence as shown° See Figure 36_
S. In the event that the fence is warped and cannot be
straightened by tightening the table clamps proceed as
follows: Removethe fence and replace with a temporary
fence made from a straight piece of scrap lumber_ Pro-
ceed to cut slot_ in the original fence where the gap
between the fence and front table was determined to be
the greatest_ See Figure 37 for slotting.
Replace the fence, after slotting, behind the front table
with the dots toward the rear and tighten the tabte
damps_
6. There are three positions in which the fence can be
located. See Figure 38.
I. Normal position.
2. Position used for maximum cross-cut an 1" material
and for greater bevel and miter capacity°
CAUTION
Rip scales cannot be used in this F_>sltlon.
3_ Position used for maximum out-Hp capQcff',/.
7. An auxiliary table top for molding or shaping can be
constructed slmffar to Figure 39_ Note the shape of the
back guide fence against which yourwork p_eceis moved°
A cut-out 5" wide should be made at the center of this
guide fence to give adequate clearance for the molding
head and cutters. Also a wider clearance marked "'A°'
should be made to allow for the radial saw motor. Be
sure the front edge of the auxiliary table is parallel with
the surface of the guide fence. With the auxiliary table
top thus completed it is ready for use by merely damp-
lng it into position with "C °' clamps.
