POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR DATA

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

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 ........................ 12.5

Hertz ............................ 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 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 motor cover and nameplate. 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. (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 handled 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.

IMPORTANT: The following wire sizes are

recommended for connecting the motor to power source for trouble-free operation.

Length of Wire Size Required Conductor (American Wlre Gauge No.)

50 feet or less ................. No. 12

100 feet or less ................. No. 10

100 feet to 150 feet ............. No. 8

150 feet to 200 feet ............. No. 6

200 feet to 400 feet ............. No. 4

For circuits of greater length the wire size must be in-

creased proportionally.

MOUNTING THE SAW ON A WORK BENCH

The saw should be placed on a suitable sturdy work bench, or Craftsman Power Tool Bench. The base of the saw must

be mounted flush 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 tool 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 plugged into an electrical outlet when working on the saw.

STEP ONE--INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT

OF TABLE SUPPORTS

1. Place the saw on a work bench or table.

2. Attach right-, and left-hand table supports to the saw base as follows: (See figure "2.)

NOTE: Right-, and left-hand supports may be identified by the three "keyholes" in the table attaching surface of each support. These key- holes are for attaching the table clamps and

are located at the rear of the saw. Also, the angle of each support turns outward, away

from the saw base. (See figure 2.)

a. Place one 5/16-inch, split Iockwasher and one 11/32-

inch plain washer on each of the four 5/16-18 x 3/4- inch, hex-head screws, all from the loose parts pack.

b. Attach each table support to the saw base with two

of the hex-head screws, Iockwashers and plain wash- ers assembled in preceding step.

c. Position each support on the base so each screw is

approximately centered in the slotted hole in the

support.

d. Tighten the screws just enough to hold the table

supports in position, but loose enough to slip against the base channel when tapped with a plastic mallet.

3. Adjust Table supports parallel to radial arm as follows: a. Loosen the guard clamp screw and remove the guard. b. Lock carriage and hold the motor shaft (at inner edge

of saw blade) with the shaft wrench and loosen the

blade and inner collar. (See figure 4.)

c. Using the elevation crank (figure 5), raise the motor

high enough to swivel 90 ° , as described in the next

step.

d. Loosen the bevel lock knob and pull out on swivel

index knob. (See figure 4.) Swivel the motor to posi- tion the saw end of shaft pointing straight down.

Tighten the bevel lock knob.

e. Loosen the arm lock handle (at upper right-hand side

of column) and release the arm latch handle (fig- ure 5).

f. Move the radial arm to the left until the end of motor

shaft is directly over the left-hand table support.

g. Loosen the carriage lock knob and move the carriage

rearward as far as it will go. Then, with the elevation crank, lower the carriage until the end of motor shaft

just touches the top surface of the left-hand table support.

NOTE: Do not change this elevation setting until both left- and right-hand table supports have been adjusted.

h. Move the carriage out to the end of radial arm and

move the arm until the end of motor shaft is over the table support at this poistion. (See figure 6.) Tap

the table support upward or downward until the end of motor shaft just touches the surface. (See figure 6.)

i. After setting the forward position of table support,

move the carriage rearward and recheck the rear- ward position to determine if adjusting the forward

position affected the rearward setting. Tap the table support upward or downward as required.

j. Recheck forward and rearward positions as many

times as necessary to provide an accurate adjust- ment of the support.

k. Tighten the two hex-head screws (figure 2) securely

to retain the adjustment. Recheck to make sure that tightening screws did not affect the accuracy of the

adjustment.

I. Move the radial arm over to the right-hand table

support and adjust it in the same manner.

STEP TWO--ELIMINATING RADIAL ARM SIDE PLAY

1. Move the radial arm to a central (cross-cut) position and engage the arm latch hc_ndle in the detent notch. (See

figure 7.) Tighten the arm lock handle.

NOTE: In order to insure an accurate setting

of the radial arm, refer to paragraph entitled

"Angular Movement and Locking the Radial

Arm", under "OPERATING CONTROLS".

2. Apply side force with one hand on radial arm in both directions. If side play exists, an adjustment is required.

3. Loosen keylocking bolts (See figure 7) and inserta 3/16- inch Hex-L wrench into the socket-head set-screw that

adjusts the column tube wedge key, as shown in figure 7. Rotate the set-screw slowly in (clockwise) until no side play can be felt in radial arm.

4. Check for binding by rotating the elevation crank. If the crank rotates with noitceable resistance, loosen the set-

screw by rotating the Hex-L wrench counterclockwise until rotation is normal. An effective method for finaliz-

ing 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 adjustment 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 column supports as follows: a. While rotating the elevation crank, tighten the five

column adjusting 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 can be felt when rotating the

elevation 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, re- check 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 keylocking bolts. (See figure 7.)

STEP THREE--INSTALLATION OF FRONT TABLE

1. Place the large (front) 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. The counterbores are in the top sur-

face of the board. Drive the T-nut into the through-hole. (See figure 8 which shows the T-nut installed.)

2. With the front table board still in the upside-down posi- tion, locate the two pre-drilled screw holes near each

end of the table. Attach the two rear table support brackets to the table with two No. 10 x 5/8-inch screws

in each bracket. (See figure 8.)

3. Place the 1/4-20 U-clip nut on the base cross member to receive the center front table attaching screw.

4. Place the large, front table board on the table supports. (See figure 9.)

5. Align the counterbore holes with matching holes in table supports.

6. Place a 17/64-inch plain washer and a 1/4-20 x 1-inch pan-head machine screw from loose parts pack in each

of the six counterbore holes located above the table

supports. Use a 1/4-20 x 1-1/4-inch pan-head machine

screw in counterbored hole at the center of the table board.

Figure 10

Figure 11

7. Start the leveling screw into the T-nut on front table, but do not allow the tip of the screw to protrude beyond the

bottom surface of front table.

8. Install Iockwashers and nuts on the six screws in the

table supports and tighten them finger tight. Start the pan-head screw in the counterbored hole near the

center of front board into the U-nut on saw base, but leave it approximately two turns loose.

9. At this time the front table should be checked and ad- justed at the center position as follows:

a. Move carriage to maximum rear position.

b. Using one edge of the rear table board as a straight-

edge, lay the board on the front table as shown in figure 10.

c. Sight between edge of rear table and surface of front

table, to determine if the front table is low or high at the center position. If front table is high, tighten

the center hold-down screw until it is level, then rotate the leveling screw clockwise until it is "snug" against

the base front member. If the table is low at the center, loosen the hold-down screw and rotate the leveling screw clockwise until the front table is level,

then tighten the hold-down screw. NOTE: After tightening screws, as described

above, always recheck to make sure that the front table remains level. In some cases, a final

"touch-up" adjustment may be required.

STEP FOUR--SQUARING THE CROSS-CUT TRAVEL

1. Loosen the bevel lock knob, pull out on swivel index knob and swivel the motor until the swivel index knob

indexes the motor with the shaft in a horizontal (zero) position. Tighten the bevel lock knob.

2. Check to make sure the arm latch handle is securely

latched in the detent an_l the arm lock handle is still tight.

3. Install the saw blade as follows: a. Place the inner collar on motor shaft. (See figure 4.)

b. Slide saw blade on motor shaft. Make sure teeth are

pointed in direction of saw rotation. (See figure 42

c. Install outer collar and arbor nut.

NOTE: The arbor shaft has left-hand threads.

d. Use the shaft wrench on motor shaft and arbor wrench

on arbor nut to tighten the nut, as shown in figure 11.

e. Lower the saw blade (with elevation crank) until the

blade is approximately 1/32 inch above table surface.

4. Place a square on the table as shown in figure 12 and position the saw and square until the leg of the square

just contacts a tooth of the saw blade. (Position "A °', figure 12.) Mark this tooth with crayon or chalk.

5. 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 oil points, make the following adjustments:

a. If saw tooth ("A", figure 12) moves away from the

square when moving the blade from the rear toward the front of the table, tap the rear edge of front

board with a mallet on left side forward until the

table is square with the saw blade.

b. Reverse this procedure if tooth "A" moves into the

square when moving the saw from the rear toward the front of the table.

c. Recheck blade squareness and, if correct, tighten the

six table hold-dawn screws securely.

6. After the crass-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 index mark on radial arm. (See figure 14.) 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 14.)

b. Loosen the two screws with a screwdriver inserted

through the access holes in elevation 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.

7. In extreme cases, due to rough handling during ship- ment, performing the above adjustment procedure may

not be sufficient. Make the following adjustment only after tightening the table hold-down screws and the cross-cut travel cannot be squared by performing the preceding adjustment routine:

a. Using a 1/8-inch Hex-L wrench, loosen the two set-

screws that lock the arm latch screws. (See figure 13.)

b. Move saw blade forward along steel square (figure

12) to determine in which direction the radial arm must be adjusted.

c. If the saw blade moves away from the square as it

comes forward, loosen the front arm latch screw and tighten the rear arm latch screw. Recheck blade

travel and repeat if necessary.

d. 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. Recheck blade travel and

repeat if necessary.

e. 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.

Tighten the set-screws to secure the arm latch screws.

Adjust indicator scale, as described in preceding paragraph 6.

STEP

FIVE--SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO

THE TABLE TOP

Place the edge of a framing square on the table top and against the saw blade as shown in figure 15.

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 Hex-L wrench, loosen the two socket- head screws that secure the handle to the yoke. (See

figure 16.) 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. The indicators (pointers) should read 0° on the bevel

scale. If not, loosen the indicator attaching screws,

adjust indicators to zero and tighten the screws

securely.

STEP SIX--CHECKING THE SAW BLADE FOR HEEL

(LEFT AND RIGHT)

1. Place the rip fence against rear edge of front table, place the spacer against the rip fence, then place rear

table against the spacer. (See figure 20.) Slide all three

items into position so that ends are even with front table.

2. Engage a table clamp in the exposed "'keyhole" in each table support and tighten the two clamps to secure all

rear table components. (See figure 20.)

3. Place a square against the rip fence and the saw blade as shown in figure 17. 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.

4. 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 18. To cor-

rect for either type of heel condition, proceed as follows:

a. Remove the left-hand carriage cover by removing

the two attaching screws. (See figure 17.)

b. Loosen the yoke clamp arm. (See figure 16.1

c. Loosen (slightly) the two hex-head screws at location

shown in figure 19.

d. With the square in position shown in figure 17, shift

the yoke until the gap between the saw blade and square is eliminated.

e. Tighten the yoke clamp arm. Then tighten the two hex-

head screws. (See figure 19.)

f. Recheck for heel (figure 17) to make sure that tight-

ening the hex-head screws did not affect the setting. Several trial settings may be required.

g. Re-install the left-hand carriage cover.

NOTE: If the carriage bearings need adjust- ing for proper tension on radial arm tracks, refer to "Carriage Bearings °' under "Adjust°

ments to Compensate for Wear". If this adjust- ment is required, be sure to recheck for "heel" after completing the adjustment.

STEP SEVEN- DOUBLE CHECK ADJUSTMENTS AND

1. Recheck for correct adjustment on the saw by perform- ing "STEPS ONE through SIX" consecutively.

2. If the cross-cut travel is not perfectly squared, proceed with "STEP FOUR" and make all adjustments listed in the "STEP FOUR" procedure.

ADJUSTMENT OF RIP SCALE INDICATORS.

NOTE: The rip scales and pointer are intended

to be used for quick settings. For greater ac-

curacy, take direct measurement between blade and fence.

1. When the fence is in its normal position (next to the front table), loosen the yoke clamp arm and index the yoke

90 ° from the cross-cut position so the blade is between the mator and the fence. Lock the yoke by tightening

the yoke clamp arm.

2. Loosen the carriage lock knob and move the motor and carriage assembly along the radial arm until the blade,

when spun by hand, just touches the front face of the

fence. Tighten the carriage lock knob. (See figure 21.)

3. The rip-scale indicator (on the right-hand side of radial arm) should now be aligned with the "0 °'' mark on the

lower ("In-Rip") scale. If not, loosen the two indicator

attaching screws and shift the indicator until it is aligned with the "0 °'° mark, then tighten the attaching screws.

(See figure 21 .) When the indicator is set for the "In-Rip °'

(lower) scale, it will be correct for the "Out-Rip" (upper/ scale.

4. Loosen the carriage lock knob, move the motor and carriage assembly outward on the arm, enough for the

blade to clear the fence. Loosen the yoke clamp arm and index the yoke in the cross-cut position. Tighten the

yoke clamp arm.

5. Install the guard assembly, making sure the locating notch on the guard engages with the mating "tongue"

on the motor housing. Tighten the guard clamp screw finger tight. (See figure 22.)

ADJUSTING SPREADER ON ANTI-KICKBACK ASSEMBLY.

1. Loosen the wing nut (figure 22) and raise the anti-kick- back assembly to near maximum height. Tighten the

wing nut.

2. Sight (visually) to check for proper alignment of spreader with saw blade, as shown in figure 22. If the spreader is

not aligned, adjust it as follows: a. Loosen the two hex-head screws that secure the anti-

kickback mounting bracket, shift the spreader into

alignment with the blade and tighten the two hex-

head screws.
