Safety Symbol and Signal Words

Major Hazards

Three major hazards are associated with

using the radial arm saw for ripping. They
are outfeed zone hazard, kickback, and

wrong way feed.

This section only briefly explains these
hazards. Read the ripping and crosscut-

ting safety sections for more detailed ex-

planations of these and other hazards.

Outfeed Zone Hazard

_DANGER

An exclamation mark inside a triangle is
the safety alert symbol.

It is used to draw attention to safety infor-

mation in the manual and on the saw. It is
followed by a signal word, DANGER,

WARNING, or CAUTION, which tells
the level of risk:

_h, DANGER: means if the safety infor-

mation is not followed someone will be
seriously injured or killed.

WARNING: mearks if the safety infor-

mation is not followed someone could be
seriously injured or killed.

_ CAUTION: means if the safety infor-
mation is not followed someone might be

injured.
Read and follow all safety information

and instructions.

If you reach around the blade to the out-
feed side when ripping, and try to hold
down or pull the workpiece through to

complete a cut, the rotational force of the
blade will pull your hand back into the

blade.

Fingers will be cut off.

Read and follow the information and in-
structions under ripping safety.

Safety

Kickback Hazard

Kickback is the uncontrolled propelling of
the workpiece back toward the user
during ripping.

The cause of kickback is the binding or

pinching of the blade in the workpiece.

Several conditions can cause the blade to

bind or pinch.

WARNING

When a workpiece kicks back, it could hit
hard enough to cause internal organ in-

juu, broken bones, or death.

Read and follow the information and in-
structions under ripping safety.

Wrong Way Feed Hazard

Wrong way feed is ripping by feeding the
workpiece into the outfeed side of the

blade.

The rotational force of the blade can grab

and pull the workpiece.
Before you can let go or pull back, the

force could pull your hand along with the

workpiece into the blade. Fingers or hand

could be cut off.

The propelled workpiece could hit a by-

stander, causing severe impact injury or
death.

structions under ripping safety.

2. Wear close fitting clothes, short
sleeved shirts, and non-slip shoes. Tie up

long hair. Do not wear gloves, ties, jewel-

ry, loose clothing, or long sleeves. These
can get caught in the spinning blade and

workpiece, workpiece chips or pieces of

blade.

2. Turn saw off, remove yellow key, and
unplug before leaving work area. Do not
leave until blade has stopped spinning.

3. Make work area child-proof: remove
yellow key to prevent accidental start-up;
store key out of sight and reach; lock

work area.

4. Keep floors clean and free of sawdust,
wax and other slippery materials.

5. Keep work area well lighted and un-
cluttered.

6. Use saw only in dry area. Do not use in

wet or damp areas.

Safety

Saw Safety Instructions

1. Use guard, pawls and spreader accord-

ing to instructions. Keep them in working
order.

2. Routinely check saw for broken or
damaged parts. Repair or replace

damaged parts before using saw. Check
new or repaired parts for alignment, bind-
ing, and correct installation.

3. Unplug saw before doing maintenance,
making adjustments, correcting align-

ment, or changing blades.

4. Do not force saw. Use saw, blades and
accessories only as intended.

5. tlave yellow key out and saw switched
off before plugging in power cord.

Workpiece Safety Instructions

6. Before turning on saw, clear table of all
objects except workpiece to be cut and

necessary fixtures, clamps, or feather-
boards.

7. If blade jams, turn saw off immediately,
remove yellow key, then free blade. Do

not try to free blade with saw on.

8. Turn saw off if it vibrates too much or
makes an odd sound. Correct any prob-
lena before restarting saw.

9. Do not layout, assemble, or setup work
with saw on, or while blade is spinning.

10. Keep saw table clean.

11. Store items away from saw. Do not

climb on saw or stand on saw table to
reach items because saw can tip over.

1. Cut only wood, woodlike or plastic

materials. Do not cut metal.

2. Cut only one workpiece at a time.
Stacking or placing workpieces edge to

edge can cause user to lose control of

workpiece.

3. Rip only workpieces longer than the

diameter of the blade. Do not rip

workpieces that are shorter than the

diameter of the blade being used.

4. Workpieces that extend beyond the
saw table can shift, twist, rise up from the

table, or fall as they are cut. Support
workpiece with table extensions the same

height as the saw table.

Safety

5. To prevent tipping, support outer ends
of extensions with sturdy legs or an outrig-

ger.

6. Do not use another person to help sup-
port workpieces or to aid by pushing or

pulling on workpieces, because these ac-

tions can cause kickback. Use table exten-
sions.

7. Use clamps or vice to hold workpiece.
It's safer than using your hands.

Blade Safety Instructions

I. Use only blades marked for at least

3450 rpm.

2. Use only 10" or smaller diameter
blades.

5. Do not overtighten blade nut because
blade collar could warp.

6. Do not turn saw on and off in rapid se-
quence because blade can loosen.

3. Use blades for their recommended cut-
ting procedures.

4. Keep blade sharp and clean.

7. Blade should stop within 15 seconds
after saw is switched off. If blade takes

longer, the saw needs repair. Contact

Alignment and Adjustment

This section applies to all three models

covered by this manual. The saw and
blade must be aligned correctly for two

reasons:

1) to prevent binding of the blade and

workpiece, which can cause jams, kick-
backs, or thrown workpieces;

2) to make accurate cuts.

Alignment and Adjustment Steps

The following alignments and adjustments
must be made in order. If you miss an ad-
justment, you must go back, make the

missed adjustment, and repeat all steps

from that point on.
These adjustments are like fine tuning a

piece of equipment. Often, a series of

steps must be repeated more than once in
order to get the adjustment right.

There are many adjustments to make. Be-

cause some adjustments may be awkward,

you may want to ask someone to help you.

Before you start, make sure the framing
squ_re is true.

WARNING

Plugging in saw during alignment
could result in accidental start-up

and severe cuts from contact with
spinning blade.

Do not plug in saw at any time during
alignment or adjustment.

Plug in saw only when it is to be

used.

Adjust Column Support

The combined goal of this adjustment is:
a) to eliminate looseness between the

column and column support, and
b) to make raising and lowering the radial

arm a smooth and firm action.

1. ix3ck radial arm at 0° miter.

2. Raise and lower radial arm a few turns
in each direction. Movement shouId be

smooth but firm.
If movement seems difficult, slightly

loosen (less than v_ turn) four bolts at
rear of colurma support.

37

Alignment and Adjustment

3. Feel for movement between column
and column support: place index finger of

one hand against column and column sup-
port; use other hand to push end of rad-
dial arm side to side and up and down.
If there is no movement, no further ad-

justment is needed.

If there is movement, slightly tighten (less
than _ turn) four bolts at rear of column

support.

Level Front Table

The goal of this adjustment is to make the

front table flat and parallel to the radial
arm, so that when the blade is installed,

there will be equal clearance between the
blade and table at all points.

1. Loosen all three cup point set screws

until they do not touch base. Make sure
five mounting screws are snug but not

overtightened.

2. Raise radial arm about 3". Lock motor
at 90 ° bevel (arbor shaft points down).

3. Draw two lines on table, one over each
lock handle channel/slide arm support

area.

4. Unlock rip lock and pull blade carriage
forward as far as it will go.

5. Unlock miter lock, move radial arm
until center of arbor shaft is directly over

a line. Mark that point on line.

6. Push blade carriage to rear and mark
similar point at rear of line. Mark other

line in same way.

7. Find lowest of four marked points:
measure distance between arbor shaft

and table (greatest distance identifies"
lowest point). Lower arbor shaft until it

just clears table at lowest point.

clears table at those points:

to lower table: tighten mounting screws
to raise table: tighten cup point set

screws.
Check for equal clearance at all four
points.

9. Place rear table on its edge, across
front of table. Check for gap between
sufaces. If there is more than 1/32"gap,

close gap by tightening center mounting
screw and/or cup point set screws.

10. Similarly, check for gap across rear of

table and adjust as needed.

Square Crosscut Travel

The goal of this adjustment is to make ac-

curate crosscuts. To do so, the radial arm
must be perpendicular to the fence, other-

wise, there will be a slight miter angle in

all crosscuts.

I. I_ock radial arm at 0° miter.

2. Lock motor at 90 ° bevel (arbor shaft
points down).

3. Lower radial arm until arbor shaft is
slightly above table.

4. Unlock rip lock. Move blade carriage
until arbor shaft is at rear edge of front

table.

5. Place framing square so long side is off
rear edge of table, and short side just

touches arbor shaft. Hold square in place,
grasp saw handle and pull blade carriage
forward. Arbor shaft should just touch
square at all points. If it does, no adjust-

merit is needed.

7. When arbor shaft just touches square
at all points, raise and lower radial arm a
few times. If movement is difficult, slight-
ly and equally loosen all four socket head

screws.

Install Blade

1. Lock rip lock.

2. Raise radial arm. Lock motor at 0°
bevel (arbor shaft horizontal).

3. On arbor shaft put blade collar, then
blade, then second blade collar, then

blade nut. Note: Concave surfaces of

blade collars rest against blade. Make sure

directional arrow on blade is on outside
and points clockwise.

4. Use blade wrenches in scissor action to
tighten nut. Note: Arbor shaft has left-

hand threads. Turn nut counterclockwise
to tighten. Do not overtighten nut because

this can cause blade collar to warp and
blade to wobble during cutting.

Square Blade to Table for Crosscut-

ting

The goal of this adjustment is to make the
blade perpendicular to the table so that

crosscuts will be accurate; otherwise all
crosscuts will have a slight bevel angle.

Adjust Carriage Bearings

The goal of this adjustment is to eliminate
looseness between the carriage bearings

and the radial arm. The blade carriage
should roll freely along the entire length

of the radial arm, but with some resistance.

1. With blade still locked in out-rip posi-

tion, unlock rip lock and move blade car-
riage to rear as far as it will go.

2. From front of saw, look up under
radial arm to identify front carriage bear-

ing. With thumb and index finger, get

pinch-hold inside groove of bearing.

Apply force to bearing and at same time,

pull blade carriage forward. Force should

not stop bearing from turning while car-
riage is moving.

3. If you can stop bearing from turning
while carriage is moving, adjust bearings:

i) position blade carriage for good access
to front and rear bearings
ii) lock rip lock

iii) hold front bearing bolt in place and
loosen nut

iv) rotate bolt a few degrees, then tighten
nut.

Note: Carriage bearings have eccentric

bolts. High side of each bolt is marked by
an arrow. Adjust rear carriage bearing

same amount, but in opposite direction, as

you adjust front carriage bearing.

Note: Do not overtighten, gh,ertightening
can cause blade carriage to move with dif-

ficulty and will reduce life of track and

Alignment and Adjustment

Blade alignment and adjustment are com-
plet_ Note:/t is important that you peri-

odically check alignment and adjustment to
insure accurate cuts and improve the safety
of cutting procedures. Be aware that align-

ment in one plane necessarily affects align-
ment in other planes. Thus, the blade may
be perfectly aligned for one tape of cut but

not another.

Install Guard

The guard is a very important safety fea-
ture. It covers a large part of the blade
and helps protect against severe cuts. Al-
ways use the guard and adjust it according
to instructions for the type of cut.

1. Raise blade at least 5" from table.

2. Lock motor at 0° bevel (blade vertical).

3. Loosen guard clamp screw until it no
longer touches metal plate.

4. Place guard over blade so guard clamp
screw is towards table front. Guard will

fall into place when ridge on inside of
guard slides into slot on motor.

5. Adjust guard to make sure bottom
edge is parallel to table. Tighten guard
clamp screw.

Align Spreader to Blade

The goal of this adjustment is to make the

spreader directly in line with the blade.
Spreader alignment is an important safety

factor. The spreader rides in the kerf of
the cut workpiece during ripping to help
keep the two sides of the workpiece from
pinching on the blade. Blade pinching is a

cause of kickback.

if full voltage is supplied to the motor, the

saw will operate efficiently on 120V. If any

of the following conditions exist, it will be
advisable to have a qualified electrician

reconnect the motor for 240V operation:

• heavy duty operation

• either undersized or overloaded

branch circuit serves the saw

• power company cannot correct a low

voltage situation.

The following procedure to change motor
voltage should be followed only by a

qualified electrician. Note: Whenever

changing the switch position from 120 to
240V,, make certain that all necesssa_ steps

(including properfusing of the branch cir-

cuit) are completed.

Crosscutting

Crosscutting Defined

Crosscutting is cutting a workpiece to
length. The workpiece is held firmly

against the fence, and the blade is pulled
through the workpiece to make the cut.
Straight, bevel, miter and compound cuts

can be made.

Crosscutting Safety

The hazards associated with crosscutting
include: exposed blade teeth, rolling car-
riage, and thrown workpiece. This section

explains these hazards and tells how to
avoid them or reduce the risk of their hap-

pening. Read this section before making

any type of crosscut. Follow these steps
every, time you make a crosscut.

Straight

Bevel

Rolling Carriage

_, WARNING

When saw is turned on, blade can

suddenly come forward. To reduce
risk of this happening:

`/Keep one hand on saw handle when

turning saw on.

_; Adjust leveling feet to make sure

radial arm slants slightly toward rear.

Exposed Blade Teeth

WARNING

During crosscutting, blade teeth can
be exposed. To reduce risk of
having fingers, hand or arm cut off:

_/Set bottom edge of guard parallel to

table to cover upper half of blade.

,/Lower pawls to clear fence or

workpiece, whichever is higher, by va".
Ix)wered pawls act as partial barrier to

front of blade.

`/Keep hands away from blade and out

of blade path. Keep hand holding down
workpiece at least 8" from blade.

,/ Blade can come off table edge beyond

30° left miter position. Use right miter
position whenever possible.

v_Do not cut freehand. You will not be

able to control workpiece.

,/If blade jams, turn off saw, remove yel-

low key, then free blade.

Thrown Workpiece

CAUTION

Workpiece could be picked up by
spinning blade and thrown. You

might be hit by thrown workpiece.
To reduce risk of thrown workpiece:

`/Make sure installed fence is at least

half as high as the workpiece, and
never less than 3/4".

v' Start and finish cut with blade in rear-

most position, behind fence.

,1'Firmly hold workpiece flat on table

and up against fence. Cut only one
workpiece at a time.

`/Pull blade through workpiece only dis-

tance needed to complete cut, and
never more than half diameter of blade.

,/Do not touch or move workpieces

until blade has stopped spinning.

,/Use length stop only on end of

workpiece which is held down.

`/Use table extensions t<) support

workpieces that extend beyond table.

F .....

Crosscut Kerfs

A kerf or shallow cut is needed in the
table and fence to serve as a path for the

blade and to ensure that the blade cuts all
the way through the workpiece. A kerr is

needed for each different cutting path.
To make an approximately t/16"deep kerf:

1. Prepare table:

-put fence in front position

-lock table locks.

2. Prepare blade:

-lock blade in crosscut position

-lock radial arm at desired miter angle

-lock motor at desired bevel angle

-unlock rip lock and push blade to
rearmost position, behind fence

-lower blade to just clear table

-lower pawls to clear fence by v4".

3. Grasp saw handle, then turn saw on.
Keep one hand on saw handle through

step 6.

4. Slowly lower blade until it touches
table, then lower by another turn of hand-

wheel.

5. Pull blade through fence and across
table as far as it will go.

6. Push blade to rearmost position, be-
hind fence, and turn saw" off. Keep hand
on saw handle until blade stops spinning.

58

Making Crosscuts

Follow these steps to make crosscuts.

1. Prepare table:

-put fence in front position

-lock table locks.

2. Prepare blade:

-lock blade in crosscut position

-lock radial arm at desired miter angle

-lock motor at desired bevel angle

-unlock rip lock and push blade to
rearmost position, behind fence

-lower blade into kerf but not touching
kerr bottom (blade should move freely).

3. Position workpiece against fence, and
lower pawls to clear fence or workpiece,

whichever is higher, by 1/4".

4. Grasp saw handle, then turn saw on.
Keep one hand on saw handle through

step 7.

Crosscuttin

Repetitive Crosscutting

Repetitive crosscutting is the repeated

and continuous cutting of many pieces of
lumber to the same length. Carriage and
length stops can help make this type of

crosscutting more efficient. A lower blade
guard offers protection against the side of
the blade (See Accessories).

A carriage stop defines the distance
needed to pull the blade through to com-

plete each cut. This will prevent pulling
the blade through more than the recom-

mended distance.

To make a carriage stop use lx2 lumber:

i) cut two pieces, each 2" long
ii) clmnp a piece on each side of radial

arm, so blade carriage stops at distance
needed to complete cut
iii) check that clamps do not interfere
with hand grip on saw handle.

Carriage Stop

Length Stop

A length stop defines the cut length and
ensures that all pieces will be cut to the
same size. Clamp a piece of lx2 lumber

on the fence to define the cut length. Use
a length stop only on the end of tile

workpiece which is held down.

Crosscutting Hints

1. To extend life of table top, buy
auxiliary table cover (see Accessories) or
make one out of */4"plywood or fiber-

board. Clamp or nail to original table top,

section by section. If you use nails, nail in
the four corners to make sure blade will

not contact nails.

2. Make several fences, so each will have
only a few kerfs (See Cutting Aides). Too

many kerfs in a fence weaken it.

3. When making miter or bevel cuts, use
extra force to hold workpiece down be-

cause it tends to move during these types
of cuts.

4. When cutting hard woods, like oak, or
making compound cuts, keep arm hold-

ing saw handle rigid and pull blade

through slowly.

5. Keep table clean of chips and sawdust.

6. Use the right blade for each job.

7. Use sharp blades.

8. To keep cut line accurate, periodically
check blade alignment.

9. Do not cut severly warped or crooked
workpieces.

6O

Ripping Defined

Ripping is changing the width of a
workpiece by cutting along its length. The
workpiece is fed into the blade, which
rotates in a fixed position, parallel to the
fence, a set distance from the fence. A

solid fence (no kerfs) serves as a guide for
the workpiece. Place the fence in the front
position for narrower workpieces, and in

the rear for wider ones.

In-Rip and Out-Rip Positions

In-rip and out-rip refer to blade position.
In-rip: the blade is toward the column,

and the motor is toward the table front. In-
rip is recommended because this position

allows better visibility of the workpiece
and your hands. Use in-rip when you set

the blade 1/2to 16" from the fence.

Ripping

Rear Fence Front Fence

Position Position

Motor

Out-rip: the blade is toward the table
front, and the motor is toward the column.

Use out-rip only when you set the blade

12" or more from the fence.

Infeed and Outfeed Directions

Infeed and outfeed refer to sides of the
blade.

Infeed: the side of the blade where the

guard nose is. Always start a rip cut at the
infeed side and push the workpiece

through to the outfeed side.
Outfeed: the side of tim blade where the

pawls and spreader are. Never start a rip

cut at the outfeed side. This is wrong way

feed. Never put hands on the outfeed side
of the blade when ripping because they

can be pulled back into the spinning

blade.

Ripping

Workpiece Positioning

Always set up so that the widest part of

the workpiece is between the blade and

fence. This gives you greater clearance for

push sticks, and allows better stability for
feeding the workpiece.

Push Sticks and Push Blocks

Use push sticks and push blocks instead of
the hands to push the workpiece through
to complete cuts. They help keep hands
away from the blade. A push block is used

with an auxiliary fence (see Cutting
Aides).

Example: to rip 1" off a 10" wide workpiece, set
blade in in-rip position, 9" from fence.

Use a push block and auxiliar5' fence
when the blade is set _/__to 2" from the

fence.

Use a push stick when the blade is set 2"

or more from the fence.

Do not set the blade closer than w2"to the

fence. The radial saw is the _a-ong tool for
such a narrow a cut. A band saw would be

more appropriate for this type of cut.

Ripping Safety

The hazards associated with ripping in-

clude: outfeed zone hazard, kickback, and

wrong way feed. This section explains
these hazards and tells how to avoid them

or reduce the risk of their happening.

Read this section before maMng any type
of rip cut. Follow these steps ever 5' time

you make a rip cut.

62

Outfeed Zone Hazard

,_DANGER

Ripping

Rotational force of blade can pull
hands and fingers back into blade.

Touching, holding, or pulling on out-
feed side of workpiece while blade

is still spinning will result in fingers,
hand or arm being cut off.

To reduce risk of outfeed hazard:

,/Set pawls and spreader; they act as par-

tial barrier to outfeed side.

,/Start and finish cut from infeed side.

¢ Keep both hands on infeed side.
¢ Keep hands away from outfeed side.
,/Push workpiece through to complete

cut. Do not reach around to pull it.

,/If blade jams, turn saw off, remove yel-

low key, then free blade.

Kickback

Kickback is the uncontrolled propelling of

the workpiece back toward the user.

] Zi, DANGER

,_ WARNING

Kickback can happen when blade is

pinched or bound by workpiece.

Pinching or binding can happen

when:

• pawls and spreader are not used or

not set correctly

• spreader is not aligned with blade

• blade is not parallel to fence

• workpiece is twisted or warped and

rocks on table top

• pressure is put on outfeed side of

workpiece

• workpiece is released before being

pushed past pawls and spreader

• user touches or tries to pull
workpiece through outfeed side before
blade has stopped spinning.

WARNING

KICKBAL,

63

Ripping

To reduce risk of kickback:

,/Set pawls and spreader according to

ripping set-up procedure. Correctly set
spreader is more likely to prevent

workpiece from binding or pinching

blade; correctly set pawls are more like-
ly to grab into workpiece to stop or

slow kickback if one happens.

,/Check that spreader is in line with

blade (see Alignment: Spreader to
Blade).

,/Cut only straight workpieces so surface

will lie flat on table and edge will stay
tight against fence. If you must cut an ir-

re_flar workpiece, attach a straight
edge (see Cutting Aides).

Wrong Way Feed

_'Push workpiece through from infeed to

outfeed side until it is completely past
pawls and spreader.

_/Use featherboard (see Cutting Aides).

,I' Keep hands away from outfeed side.
_/If blade jams, turn saw oft', remove yel-

low key, then free blade.

_ When cutting composition materials,

or other materials with one smooth and
one rough side, put rough side up so

pawls will be more likely to grab.

Wrong way feed is ripping by feeding the

workpiece into the outfeed side of the
blade.

WARNING

Rotational force of blade will pull

workpiece through violently if
workpiece is fed in same direction
as blade rotates (wrong way feed).

Hands and fingers could be pulled

along with workpiece into spinning
blade before you can let go or pull

back. Fingers, hand or arm could be
cut off. Propelled workpiece could

hit bystander.

To eliminate risk of wrong way feed:

,/Feed workpieee against blade rotation.
_/Set pawls and spreader; they act as par-

tial barrier to outfeed side.

WARNING

Wrong Way Feed

64

Guard Nose Function

The guard nose (hold down) must be set

correctly during ripping to act as a partial
barrier against the infeed side of the

blade, to help keep the workpiece fiat on
the table, and to deflect workpiece chips.
It must be lowered to just clear the

workpiece.
The guard nose must be re-set each time a

different thickness workpiece is cut. Fol-
low the Ripping Set-Up Procedure to cor-

rectly set the guard nose. Set guard nose
first, then set pawls and speader.

Out Rip

Position

Pawls and Spreader Function

The pawls and spreader must be set cor-

rectly during ripping to reduce the risk of
kickback, to prevent wrong way feed, and

to act as a partial barrier to the hazardous
outfeed side of the blade.

The spreader rides in the workpiece kerr

to keep it open. This reduces the chances

that the cut workpiece will spring closed
and pinch the blade. Pinching the blade is

a cause of kickback.

The pawls rest level on the upper surface

of the workpiece. During cutting they
allow the workpiece to pass freely from
the infeed to the outfeed side, but help
stop the kickback motion from outfeed to

infeed side by grabbing into the workpiece
surface.

The spreader and pawls must be re-set

each time a different thickness workpiece
is cut. Follow the Ripping Set-Up Proce-

dure to correctly set the pawls and
spreader.

Ripping Set-up Procedure

Follow these steps before ripping. These
steps must be repeated each time a dif-
ferent thickness workpiece is ripped. A

kerr must be made for each different

width cut.

1. Prepare table:

-insert solid (no kerfs) fence (Note: Use
auxiliary fence when blade is set 1/2to 2"

from fence)

-lock table locks.

2. Prepare blade:

-lock radial arm at 0° miter

-lock motor at desired bevel angle

-lock blade in in-rip position*

-lower blade to just clear table

-lock blade carriage desired distance
from fence. Make sure wMest part of

workpiece will be between blade and fence.

_, WARNING

If workpiece is pushed along fence

with kerfs, workpiece could get

caught on kerr, pinch blade and
cause kickback. Do not use

crosscutting fence for ripping.

*use out-rip position only when blade is

set 12" or more from fence

3. Make kerf:
i) turn saw on

ii) lower blade about vl6" into table
iii) turn saw off and remove yellow key.

4. Place workpiece parallel to and up

against blade. Note: Workpiece wilt be be-

tween blade and table front.

5. lower guard nose until it just clears
top surface of workpiece, then tighten

guard clamp screw.

6. Lower pawls and spreader so spreader
hangs along side ofworkpiece, in line

with blade, and one set of pawls rests
level on workpiece surface, then tighten
pawls/spreader wing nut.

7. Test setting: push workpiece toward
outfeed side to see that workpiece moves
freely; push workpiece toward infeed side

to see that pawls grab. If these conditions

are not met, re-set pawls until they are.

10. Set up table extension(s) and support

their outer ends. Do not use another per-
son to support workpieces because this

can cause kickback and it exposes helper
to potential hazards at outfeed side.

Making Rip Cuts

Follow these steps to make in-rip cuts.
For out-rip cuts, reverse hand functions;
that is, put right hand on table and use left

hand to support and push workpiece.

1. Follow ripping set-up procedure.

2. lnsert yellow key and turn saw on.

3. Stand at infeed side and out of line of
workpiece, in case of kickback. Start and

finish cut from infeed side.

Ripping

Dado Blades, Molding Heads

See Accessories for information on safety,

installation and use of dado blades and
molding heads.

Edging

Edging is the use of a dado blade or mold-
ing head in the horizontal position. It is an

advanced technique that requires a mold-
ing head guard and a special fence. See
Accessories for information on safety, in-

stallation and use of dado blades and

molding heads for edging. See Cutting
Aides for information on making the spe-

cial fence.

Ripping Hints

1. To extend life of table top, buy an

auxiliary table cover (see Accessories), or

make one out of !/4"plywood or fiber-
board. Clamp or nail to original table top,
section by section. If you use nails, nail in

the four corners to make sure blade will
not contact nails.

2. Keep table clean of chips and sawdust.

3. Use sharp blades.

68

4. Use the right blade for each job.

5. For workpiece with one smooth and
one rough surface, such as paneling or

finished fiberboard, cut with rough sur-
face up so pawls will be more likely to
grab in case of kickback.

6. To keep cut line accurate, periodically
check blade alignment.

7. If you must cut an irregular workpiece,
attach a straight edge (see Cutting Aides).

Cutting Aides

Cutting aides include push sticks, fences,
auxiliary fences, push blocks, feather-
boards, and straight edges.

Push Sticks

To make a push stick, use 3/4"knot-free
lumber, or a standard lx2. Cut to dimen-

sions shown (inches).

Fences

Fences are required for all saw operations.
To make a fence, use _" knot-free lumber

cut to table length. Do not use particle
board or other composite materials be-

cause they are not strong enough. Note: In-

stalled fence must be at least half as high as
the workplace, and never less"than _/4".The

fence can be as high or higher than the

workplace.

Auxiliary Fence and Push Block for

Ripping

An auxiliary fence must be used when
making very narrow rip cuts that don't

allow enough room for a push stick
without bringing it too close to the blade.

An auxiliary fence must always be used

with a push block.

To make an auxiliary fence, use one piece

of _A"plywood and two pieces of _/4"
plywood. Cut to dimensions shown (in-
ches). Glue pieces together, and reinforce

with nails.

To make a push block, use one piece of 3/4"
plywood and one piece of _" plywood.
Cut to dimensions shown (inches). Glue

pieces together and reinforce with nails.

Lay the push block on top of the auxiliary

fence to make sure their widths match ex-
actly, and are each 4_q".

Cutting Aides

Auxiliary Fence for Edging

You must use an auxiliary fence for
edging because you cannot completely lo-

cate the cutting tool behind a rip fence.
Also, edging requires the use of a molding
head guard (see Accessories).

17

16

Spacer Table

To make an auxiliary fence for edging, use

3/4"knot-free lumber. Cut two pieces to
dimensions shown (inches). To form
fence, glue both pieces at right angles to a

piece of lumber _/4"x 1". Reinforce with

nails.

Install the fence in the front position.
Reverse order of rear and spacer tables,

because to use molding head or drum

sander with arbor vertical, you may have
to make a 3" x 31/F opening in rear table
for arbor clearance in order to get cutting

tool closer to table. (Spacer table is too
narrow for such an opening.)

Note: Initial edge cut will round angled

edges offence.

Note: I47zen using drum sander, vacuum
motor @en to prevent sawdust!powder

build-up, because powder interferes with
motor ventilation and can clog, starter

switch.

To make a featherboard, use knot-free _/4"
lumber 5 v_2"wide. Miter crosscut lumber

at a 30 ° angle to 24". Rip to make 5" long
cuts about 1/4"apart.

Clamp the featherboard to the front table,
so that the angled edge of the feather-

board is against the workpiece on the in-
feed side of the blade. Do not clamp the

featherboard against the cut off part (out-
feed side) of the workpiece. If clamped to

the outfeed side, the featherboard can
squeeze the kerr closed, put binding pres-

sure on the blade, and cause kickback.

WARNING

If you try to rip an irregular

workpiece, it could bind blade and
cause kickback.

If the workpiece you want to rip does not
have a straight edge, attach a straight-
edged board to the workpiece:

i) place irregular side of workpiece against
fence

ii) put straight-edged board on top of
workpiece and against fence

iii) tack straight edged board to workpiece.

Note: Straight-edged board must not extend

beyond leading end of workpiece and
should cover workpiece width only enough
to pass between blade and fence.

Note: Use fence at least at high as com-
bined heights of workpiece and straight-

edged board.

Accessories

Accessories Safety

1. Use only accessories listed in this sec-
tion. Use of any other accessory or attach-
ment might increase the risk of injury to

you or others.

2. Read and follow instructions that come
with accessory.

3. Do not install accessories on both ends
of arbor shaft at same time.

4. Do not use twist drill bits longer than
7" because they can bend and break.

5. Use a spade type drill 1" or smaller in
diameter for drilling only wood or plastic.

6. Do not use reduced shank drills.

7. Remove blade wrenches before turn-
ing saw on.

_, DANGER
Grinding wheels, abrasive or cut off

wheels, or wire wheels can break

explosively and throw pieces. You
can be blinded or receive a life

threatening puncture wound. Do not

use grinding wheels, abrasive or cut
off wheels, or wire wheels.

,_ WARNING

When using accessory shaft, ex-

posed arbor shaft can pull in cloth-
ing, hair or jewelry as it rotates.

Broken bones and severe cuts could

OCCUr.

Follow personal safety instructions.
Locate arbor shaft under radial arm:

lock blade carriage in out-rip posi-

tion, then bevel motor to -90 °.

Information for Dado

1. Put inside loose collar on arbor shaft
first, then install dado. Tighten blade nut

directly against outside surface of dado.

2. Saw arbor is designed for dado up to
13%"wide. Use of wider dado could cause

dado and blade nut to spin off. To make
larger than 13q6"wide cut, take several pas-

ses with dado.

3. To avoid excessive load on motor when
making a 13qCwide cut, limit depth of cut

to W' in one pass.

Information for Edging

Edging is the use of a dado or molding
head in the horizontal position. Edging re-

quires the use of a molding head guard
(see Accessories List) and an auxiliary

fence (see Cutting Aides).

1. Use molding head guard for edging
with molding head and dado blade. Fol-
low instructions that come with guard.
Do not edge with a blade.

,_ DANGER

Edging without a guard can bring
hands and fingers too close to

blade. Hands, fingers and arm could
be cut off. Buy, install, and follow
instructions for molding head guard.

,_ DANGER

Blade cannot be guarded in horizon-

tal position. Edge with guarded

molding head or dado. Do not edge
with blade.

2. Install auxiliary fence (see Cutting
Aides) to allow positioning of cutting tool

behind fence.

3. Whenever possible, edge with arm
locked at indexed 0° miter, so blade car-

riage is more likely to lock firmly.

72

Accessories

,_ DANGER

Edging without an auxiliary fence

when arm is at 0° miter position

prevents complete location of cut-

ting tool behind fence. Make and use
auxiliary fence to edge with arm

locked at 0° miter.

4. If saw handle gets in way with radial
arm locked at 0° miter, edging can be
done at 30 ° left miter. In this position, cut-
ting tool can be located behind either a

regular or auxiliary fence.

i) lock arm at 30 ° left miter
ii) unlock swivel lock, move saw handle

90 ° towards left, so motor surface

squarely faces front

iii) lock swivel lock.

Note: This is not a pre-set indexed blade

carliage position. Saw forces may affect

swivel lock's abili O,to hold carriage firrnly
in place.

In repetitive 90 ° crosscutting, the guard
may reduce the chance of accidentally

touching the blade from the side. This

protection is possible ONLY when:

• the blade is in its rearmost position

and

• the guard is resting on the table so the
leading and trailing teeth of the blade
are not exposed from the sides.

The lower guard ONLY provides protec-
tion against minor lacerations and bruises
that occur from contact with the fiat sides

of the spinning blade.

WARNING

Lower blade guard will not provide
any protection if blade is pulled over

your hand, or your hand enters

blade path from front or rear of
blade. Fingers or hand can be cut or

cut off.

5. Before edging, with saw unplugged and

yellow key out, turn cutting tool by hand

to make sure it does not strike guard or
any other part of saw.

Lower Blade Guard

The following safety information and in-
structions apply to all blades and acces-

sories.

The lower blade guard is required by the
Occupational Safe w and Health Ad-

ministration (OSHA) if the radial saw is
used commercially. The lower blade guard

is intended for use only in repetitive 90 °
crosscutting.

Repetitive 90 ° crosscutting is the
repeated and continuous cutting of

many pieces of lumber to the same

length with the saw placed in the
90 ° crosscut position.

,_ WARNING

Remove lower blade guard for ALL

other types of cuts except repetitive
90° crosscutting. Using lower guard

other than for repetitive 90 °
crosscutting will increase risk of cer-

tain hazards:

• During rip and bevel cuts, the

workpiece or narrow cut-off pieces can
be pinched between the guard and the
blade. Workpiece or cut-off pieces can

kickback.

• In the bevel position the blade teeth

are fully exposed. Fingers or hand can be
cut off.

• Cut off pieces can jam between the

guard and blade. Turn saw off and wait
for blade to stop before freeing a

jammed guard or blade.

73

Accessories

• Workpiece or cut-off pieces can be

violently thrown by the blade. Wear
safety goggles.

,_ CAUTION

Lower blade guard can get caught or

jam in fence or table kerfs.

Read and follow the warning on the lower
outer guard:

WARNING:

TO AVOID INJURY

SHUT OFF POWER

BEFORE CLEARING A

JAMMED LOWER GUARD

Maintenance

General Information

When new, the saw requires no lubrica-
tion. The saw has been partially aligned
and all bearings are lubricated and sealed

for life. In time, in order to keep the saw
in good working order, it will be necessary
to clean, lubricate and re-align.

WARNING

To avoid shock, burns, or lacera-
tions from accidental start up of saw,
turn power switch off and unplug

saw before doing maintenance or

servicing saw.

Cleaning

Periodically remove any heavy build-up of
sawdust that may accumulate on the saw.
The absorbing tendency of sawdust will
draw lubricants away from the areas

where they are needed. Wipe the carriage
bearings and track surfaces with a dry or
lightly oiled cloth. If packed sawdust and

grease build up repeatedly on the carriage
bearings, inspect the track wipers for wear
and replace if necessary.

To lubricate swivel index pin:

1. Rotate blade to either rip position.

2. Apply a few drops of oil along index
pin, as shown below.

To lubricate bevel index pin:

1. Bevel motor to 45 °.

2. Apply a few drops of oil along index
pin, as shown below.

Swivel Index

Pin

Pin

To avoid motor damage due to sawdust

build-up, which interferes with normal
motor ventilation, vacuum the motor

often.

Lubrication

Do not lubricate motor bearings, carriage
bearings, or the area between the miter

locking rings and the column tube. Motor
and carriage bearings are sealed and do

not need added lubrication.

You can lubricate other points if neces-
sary, but only when sticking or binding oc-

curs. Use a small amount of SAE No
10W-30 automotive engine oil. Excess oil

attracts airborn dust and sawdust.

To lubricate the bearing points where the
radial arm attaches to the column tube:

1. Remove rear arm cover.

2. Apply oil to two areas indicated by ar-
rows. Note: Do not get oil on locking ring,

oil will make it slippeq and unable to lock
securely in non-indexed miter positions.

Locking &F , :]"_

75

Maintenance

Other areas to lubricate include:

• cam surfaces of the rip lock assembly

• between column tube and column

support (Elevate radial arm to highest

point, then wipe face of column tube with

light film of oil.)

• foot assemblies, where foot levers go

through foot rods

Adjustments for Wear

Swivel Lock

The swivel lock is a friction lock that
prevents play between the casting and

blade carriage. If the carriage can be
moved by hand when the lock is locked,

adjust:

1. Unlock swivel lock.

2. Remove screw and nut from swivel
lock knob.

3. Note: Lever portion of swivel lock con-

tains wrench used to make this adjustment.

Separate wrench from lever by turning

wrench a few degrees counter-clockwise
to release tab.

4. Position wrench across corners of
square nut and move wrench to line up

with lever.

5. Test adjustment: hold wrench in place,
move blade carriage to a non-indexed

position, and lock swivel lock. Try to

move blade carriage by hand. If you can,
further tighten square nut.

6. Unlock swivel lock and move blade to
rip position. If carriage does not "snap"

securely into pre-set position, loosen
square nut one quarter turn.

7. Re-install wrench and knob.

Bevel Lock

If the motor can be moved by hand when
the bevel lock is locked, if the lock offers

little resistence when being locked, or if
the space between the lock lever and cast-

ing is different from approximately _%",
adjust according to step 10 in Mount

Motor section of Assembly.

Carriage Bearings

The carriage should roll freely but with

some resistance for the entire length of
travel. If the carriage moves too freely or

with too much resistance, adjust the bear-

ings according to tile instructions in Align-
ment and Adjustment.

Maintenance

Arm and Column

If you can move the end of the radial arm
up and down when the arm is unlocked be-
tween 0 and 45 ° miter, adjust:

1. Remove rear arm cover.

2. Evenly tighten top two hex head tap-
ping screws, then tighten bottom two hex

head screws, but not as tightly as the top
ones.

3. Re-install rear arm cover.

Miter Lock

If the radial arm can be moved side to side
by hand when locked between (t and 45 °

miter, adjust:

1. Unlock miter lock and move radial arm

to aW non-indexed position.

2. Tighten socket cap screw, in rear of
arnl cover, one quarter turn.

3. Lock miter lock and try to move radial
arm. If arm still moves, slightly tighten

socket cap screw. If lock is too difficult to

lock, slightly loosen socket cap screw.

77

Maintenance

Rip Lock

If the blade carriage can be moved by
pushing/pulling on the saw handle when

the rip lock is locked, adjust:

1.Hold rip lock in unlocked position and

tighten locknut one quarter turn.

2. Test adjustment: if carriage moves with
difficulty, slightly loosen locknut; if car-
riage moves easily, lock rip lock and try
to move carriage along arm.

Replacing Pawls

Make sure the teeth of the pawls are al-
ways sharp. If they become dull the pawls
must be replaced:

1. Remove hex nut and old pawls.

2. Install new pawls and spreader.

3. Align spreader to blade according to in-
structions in Alignment and Adjustment.

Blade Changing

To change the saw blade:

1. Turn switch off, remove yellow key,
and unplug saw.

2. Use both blade wrenches in scissor ac-
tion to loosen blade nut. Note:Arbor

shaft hc**left-hand thread_. Turn nut clock-
wise to loosen.

3. Remove nut, blade collar, and blade.
Insert new blade, making sure that arrow
is on outside and points clockwise.

4. Re-install blade collar and nut. Note:

Do not overtighten nut because this can
cause blade collar to warp and blade to

wobble during cutting:
