CONNECTING MOTOR TO POWER SUPPLY
The a-c motor used in this Craftsman Radial Saw is of
the capacitor start, non-reversible type with the following
specifications:
Voltage .......................... 120
Amperes ......................... 9.5
17
Cycle ............................ 60
Phase ......................... Single
RPM ............................ 3450
Rotation (viewing saw blade end) Clockwise
CAUTION: This motor is wired for 120 volt
operation. Connect to 15 ampere branch
circuit and use a 15 ampere time-delay fuse.
MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
The 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.
1. If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor,
press the saw switch to the "OFF" position immediately
and _llow 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 motor capacitor cover. If the
red button will not snap into place immediately, the
motor is still too hot and must be allowed to cool for a
I
while longer. (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
pressing 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
with a fuse other than those recommended. Do not use
a fuse of greater capacity Without consulting the power
company.
5. Although the motor is designed for operation on the
voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,
normal loads will be handle d safely on voltages not more
than 10% above or below the nameplate voltage. Heavy
loads, however, require that voltage at motor terminals
be not less than the voltage specified on nameplate.
6. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect
connections, overloading, reduced input voltage (which
results when small size wires are used in the supply
circuit) or when the supply circuit is extremely long.
Always check connections, load and supply circuit when
the motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire
sizes and lengths with the table in the next paragraph.

MOUNTING THE SAW ON A WORK BENCH
The sow shoud be placed on a suitable sturdy work bench,
or Craftsman Power Tool Bench. The base of the saw must
be mounted *lush to a flat surface on the work bench to
prevent distortion of the saw base. The nuts, screws, and
washers which attach the wooden shipping skids to the
saw base may be used to secure the saw base to the work
bench, or tact bench.
ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The seven basic "steps" that follow are
essential in order to insure correct saw table
alignment.
WARNING: Make sure the power cord is
not plugge d into an electrical outlet when
working on the saw.
STEP ONE--INSTALLATION OF FRONT TABLE
1. Place the large table board upside-down on floor.
Distinguish between the one through-bored (leveling
screw) hole near the center of the board, and the seven
counterbore holes. (See figure 2.) The counterbores are
in the top surface of the board. Drive the T-nut into the
through-hole. (See figure 3.)
2. Place the 1/4-20 "'U" clip nut on the base cross members
to receive the center front tab!e attaching screw.
3. Place the large, front table board on table support
angles.
4. Align the counterbore holes with matching holes in the
support angles. Place a flat washer and a 1/4-20x 1"
pan-head machine screw in each of the six counterbore
holes located above the angles. Use a 1/4-20 x 1-1/4 '_
pan-head machine screw in the counterbore hole at the
center of the table board.
5. Start the leveling screw into the T-nut but do not allow
the point to protrude beyond bottom surface of front
board.
6. Install Iockwashers and nuts on the six screws in the
angles and tighten them finger tight. Start the 1/4-20 x
1-1/4" pan-head screw in the counterbored hole near
the center of front board, leaving it about two turns loose.
STEP TWO--ELIMINATING RADIAL ARM SIDE PLAY
1. Set the radial arm at 0 J index position, making sure
the arm latch handle is in the detent notch, and tighten
the arm lock handle. (See figure 4.)
2. Apply side force with one hand on radial arm in both
directions. If side play exists, an adjustment is required.
3. Insert a 3/16-inch Allen wrench into the socket-head
set-screw that adjusts the column tube wedge key, as
shown in figure 4. Rotate the set-screw slowly in (clock-
wise) until no side play can be felt in radial arm.
4. Check for binding by rotating the elevation crank. If the
crank rotates with noticeable resistance, loosen the set
screw by rotating the Allen wrench counterclockwise until
rotation is normal. An effective method for finalizing the
set-screw adjustment is to rotate the screw while the
elevation crank is being rotated, checking for side play
in radial arm as the adjustment progresses. The adjust-
ment is correct when all side play of radial arm is
eliminated and only very slight additional resistance
can be felt when rotating the elevation crank.
5. If some radial arm side play can still be detected after
performing the above adjustment, it will be necessary
to adjust the forward five screws through the right, and
left-hand (olumn supports as follows:
a While -otating the elevation crank, tighten the five
column ,_djustlng screws slightly at the forward edge

of column supports. Each screw should be tightened
only slightly, and each one the same amount, until a
slight resistance con be felt when rotating the eleva-
tion crank, then each screw backed off just enough
to restore a normal feel to the elevation crank.
b. Recheck the adjustment of the column tube wedge
key set-screw as outlined in preceding instructions.
6. After the above adjustments have been completed,
recheck the radial arm for absence of side play.
7. When all side play has been eliminated, lock the column
tube key in place by tightening screws at top and
bottom of key. (See figure 4.)
STEP THREE--SQUARING THE CROSS CUT TRAVEL
1. Set the radial arm at 0 :' index position and tighten the
arm lock handle. (See figure 4.)
2. Place a square on the table as shown in figure 5 and
position the saw and square until the leg of the square
just contacts a tooth of the saw blade. (Position "A-,
figure 5.) Mark this tooth with crayon or chalk.
3. When the blade is moved back and forth on the radial
arm, the saw tooth "A" should just touch the square at
all positions. If saw tooth "A" does not touch the square
at all points, make the following adjustments.

If saw tooth ("A", figure 5) moves away from the
square when moving the blade from the rear toward
the front of the table, loosen the table screws at the
left side and tap the rear edge of front board forward
until the table is square with the saw blade. (See
figure 6.)
b.
Recheck blade squareness and, if correct, tighten the
six ta!_le screws.
c.
Reverse this procedure if tooth "A" moves into the
square when moving the saw table from the rear
toward the front of the table.
4. In extreme cases, due to rough handling during ship-
ment, performing the above adjustment procedure may
not be sufficient. Make the fallowing adjustment only
after tightening the table screws and the cross-cut travel
cannot be squared by performing the preceding adjust-
ment routine:
a. Position the radial arm in 0 position, press arm
la_ch handle down firmly into the detent notch. (See
figure 7.)
b.
Using a 1!8-inch Allen wrench, loosen the two set
screws that lock the arm latch screws.
c.
Move saw blade forward along steel square to deter-
mine in which direction the arm must be adjusted.
d.
If the saw blade moves away from the square as it
cemes forward, loosen the front arm latch screw and
tighten the rear arm latch screw. Check blade travel
arid repeat if necessary.
e.
If the saw blade moves toward the square as it comes
forward, loosen the rear arm latch screw and tighten
the front arm latch screw. Check blade travel and
repeat if necessary.
f. When the adjustment is correct, both arm latch
screws should be snug against the arm latch handle
but not tight enough to bind the handle.
g. Tighten the Allen set-screws to secure the arm latch
screws.
5. After the cross-cut travel has been accurately squared,
check the 0 ° position on the indicator scale of the radial
arm cap to determine if the 0 ° position on the scale is
aligned with the index mark on radial arm. (See figure
8.) If not aligned, proceed as follows:
a. Rotate the elevation crank to a position that will
locate the two access holes over screw heads of
radial arm cap attaching screws. (See figure 8.)
b. Loosen the two screws with a screwdriver inserted
through the access holes in lift crank.
c. Reposition the radial arm cap by hand until the
0: mark is aligned with the index mark and tighten
the two attaching screws.
STEP
FOUR--LEVELING THE TABLE PARALLEL
TO THE RADIAL ARM
NOTE: DO NOT USE A CARPENTER'S LEVEL.
1.
Remove the saw guard.
2.
Raise the arm latch handle out of the detent, loosen
the arm lock handle (figure 4) and loosen the carriage
lock knob (4, figure 1). This will permit easy positioning
of saw blade during leveling operations.
3.
Lower the saw blade by rotating elevation crank until a
tooth just touches the table at the highest spot when saw
is moved to points 1,2, 3, and 4 (POSITION 1, figure 9).
This will locate the table high point. Spin the saw Blade
by hand and listen for "pinging'" sound to pick up this
high paint.
4.
Loosen the table support screws at each side just enough
to allow the table support angles to slip when tapped
with a mallet. (See figure 6.) If too loose, leveling
operations will be difficult.
NOTE: Do not change elevation of saw blade
during remainder of the leveling operation.
5.
Move the saw blade to the low position opposite the
high point (located in step 3, above) at the same end
of table. Assuming the high area to be at point 1
(POSITION 1, figure 9) the Blade would next be moved
to point 3 (POSITION 2, figure 9).
6.
Using a mallet, tap the table support angle under point
3 until the table top just touches the saw blade.
7.
Tighten the two table support screws securely at the left
side of frame (figure 6), and recheck by moving saw
blade back and forth between points 1 and 3 (POSI-
TION 2, figure 9). If this end of table surface is level,
the saw will just touch the table at points from 1 to 3.
If not level, readjust point 3.
8.
Move the saw blade to point 2 (POSITION 3, figure 9).
Tap forward end of right table support angle upward
with a mallet until the blade just touches the table
surface.
9.
Move the saw blade to point 4 (POSITION 4, figure 9)
and tap rear end of table support angle upward until
the blade just touches the table surface.
10.
Tighten the two table support screws securely at the
right side of frame (reference figure 6), and move saw
blade back and forth between points 2 and 4 (POS!-
TION 4, figure 9) to make sure it touches at all posi-
tions from points 2 and 4.
11.
Recheck the adjustment by moving saw blade to points
1, 3, 2 and 4 and make corrections if necessary.

table height at points 5 and 6 (POSITION 5, figure 9).
The table attaching screw at point 5 pulls table down-
ward when tightened and the leveling screw at point 6
pushes table upward when tightened (provided screw
at point 5 has been loosened). Thus, these two screws
work against each other to adjust the center area of
saw table. Both screws should be tight, however, when
leveling has been completed.
13. Place the rip fence in vertical position behind the front
table board.
14. Place the table spacer board behind the rip fence.
15. Place the rear table behind the table spacer board.
16. Install the table clamps at locations shown in figure 2
and tighten them firmly against the edge of rear table.
STEP FIVE--SQUARING THE SAW BLADE
TO THE TABLE TOP
1. Place the edge of a framing square on the table top
and against the saw blade as shown in figure 10.
2. When the saw blade is square to the table top, no light
will be visible between the square and face of saw
blade. Do not allow the square to rest against a tooth
of the saw. If light is visible between the square and face
of saw blade (with square leg held firm against the
table top), perform the following adjustments.
a. Loosen the bevel lock knob just slightly and with
a 5/16-inch Allen wrench loosen the two socket-head
screws that secure the handle to the yake. (See figure
11.) A screw is located at each side of the swivel
index knob.
b. While holding the motor with one hand and the
square with the other hand, tilt the motor until saw
blade is square with table top. Then, while holding
the square firmly against the saw blade and table top,
tighten the bevel lock knob to hold motor and
blade in position.
c. Move handle slightly toward left or right until swivel
index pin is properly seated. Push firmly against
swivel index knob (keeping swivel index pin seated)
and tighten the two socket-head screws. The swivel
index pin should slide freely in the handle.
NOTE: It may be necessary to perform more
than one trial operation before the saw blade
remains perfectly square with table top after
tightening the screws.
d. Recheck for blade squareness with table top.
e. The indicators (pointers) should read 0 ° on the bevel
scale. If not, loosen the indicator attaching screw,
adjust indicators to zero and tighten the screws
securely.

STEP SIX--CHECKING THE SAW BLADE FOR
HEEL (LEFT AND RIGHT)
1. Place a square against the rip fence and the saw blade
as shown in figure 12. The long leg of the square must
be held firmly against the rip fence and the short leg
must not touch any of the teeth on the saw blade.
2. If a gap exists between the saw blade and the square,
one of two types of "heel" exists. The two types of "heel"
are illustrated in views "A" and "B", figure 13. To correct
for either type of "heel" condition, proceed as follows:
a. R,-move the left-hand carriage cover by removing the
two attaching screws.
b.
Remove the right-hand carriage cover by first remov-
ing the carriage lock knob (4, figure 1), by screwing
it all the way out. Then remove the two attaching
screws to free the cover.
c. Loosen slightly the carriage bearing retainer nut just
abave the left rear carriage bearing. Then loosen
slightly the corresponding nut over right rear car-
riage bearing.
NOTE: These nuts shauld be loosened just
enough to permit the carriage bearing screws to
slip in their holes.
d. If the heel is in the direction shown in "View A" (fig-
ure 13), insert a 1/8-inch Allen wrench and loosen
the set-screw at left rear position, then tighten set-
screw at right rear the same amount. (See figure 14.)
NOTE: As one set screw is loosened, the oppo-
site one should be tightened the same amount
in order to retain the carriage bearing adjust-
ment as accurately as possible.
e. If the heel is in the direction shown in "View B" (figure
13), loosen the right rear set screw and tighten the
left rear set-screw the same amount. (See figure 14.)
f. After the heel has been corrected, tighten the rear
carriage retainer nuts and check for proper tension of
carriage bearings on the tracks.
g. If front carriage bearings need adjusting for proper
tension on the tracks, the adjustment is made on the
right front carriage bearing. Loosen (slightly) the
carriage bearing retainer nut and rotate the set screw
until tension is correct. After the tension has been
corrected, tighten the carriage bearing retainer nut.
(The adjustment is correct when there is no side
play between the arm and carriage, and the car-
riage moves forward and rearward with very slight
resistance.)
h. Install both carriage covers and carriage lock knob.
STEP SEVEN--DOUBLE CHECK SQUARING OF SAW
1. Recheck for correct adjustment of the saw by perform-
ing "STEPS ONE through SIX".
2. If the cross-cut travel is not perfectly squared, proceed
with "STEP THREE" and make all adjustments listed in
the "STEP THREE" procedure.
MAKING PRELIMINARY CROSS-CUT
AT THE 0 ° POSITION
1. Attach saw guard assembly to the motor and tighten the
guard clamp screw ta secure the guard. (See figure 15.)
2. Pull motor forward of fence so that saw blade is free
to rotate.
3. Lower the radial arm until saw blade just clears the
table top.
4. Tighten carriage lock knob (4, figure 1).
CAUTION: Before cutting always be sure that
the arm latch handle is fully engaged in detent
notch.
5. Plug the power cord into receptacle.
6. Insert safety lock key, turn the key and press the switch
to "'ON" position. (See figure 19.)
7. Lower the radial arm until saw blade cuts into table
top 1!32-inch deep. THIS IS ALL THAT IS NECESSARY.
8. To complete a blade clearance groove in the table and
fence hold the handle with the left hand and loosen
the carriage lock knob with the right hand. Slowly pull
the motor with the left hand out to the extreme end of

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF KEY AND SWITCH
1. Insert the key into the slot and turn counterclockwise.
(See figure 19.)
2. Press the ON-OFF switch toggle on the right end to start
the saw motor. Press the left end of switch toggle to
stop the saw.
NOTE: This saw can not be operated without
the key, and likewise, the key can not be re-
moved from the lock while the saw motor is
running. This locking system was designed for
safety and protection of the operator.
RAISING AND LOWERING THE RADIAL ARM is accom-
plished by the elevation crank (5, figure 18). One complete
turn of this handle will raise or Iowerthe radial arm 1/8-inch.
LOCKING THE CARRIAGE TO THE RADIAL ARM is ac-
complished by the carriage lock knob (4, figure 18). Turn
the knob clockwise to lock; counterclockwise to unlock.
Avoid excessive tightening of the knob.
ANGULAR MOVEMENT AND LOCKING THE RADIAL
ARM are controlled by the arm lock handle (7, figure 18)
and the arm latch handle (8). This handle is used to lock
the arm to the column for normal cutting. It should also be
used to eliminate any play between the arm and the column
when levelling the table (Refer to STEP FOUR). This is done
by tightening the arm lock handle until the arm is snug on
the column, thus eliminating looseness and allowing the
arm to rotate smoothly. The radial arm can be rotated
360 and locked ;n any desired position. The arm is un-
locked by loosening the arm lock handle and raising the
arm latch handle out of the detent notch. It is locked by
tightening the arm lock handle. The radial arm has positive
stops at 0 ° and 45 ° , left and right, and is released from
these index positions by raising the arm latch handle.
In order to provide the most positive and accurate se_ings
at the index positions, the fo!/owing is recommended.
1. If the radial arm is already indexed, raise the arm latch
handle, turn the arm lock handle (7, figure 18) ap-
