additional safety instructions for radial saws

CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cord before between the column & column support, or in the removing the guard, changing the cutting tool, changing the

set-up or making adjustments. Shut off motor before performing layout work on the saw table.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT POWER CORD UNTIL THE FOLLOWING STEPS HAVE BEEN SATISFACTORILY COMPLETED:

I. Assembly and alignment. II. Examination and operating familiarity with ON-OFF

switch, elevation control, yoke index and lock bevel index and lock, carriage lock, guard clamp screw, spreader and antikickback device, and miter index and

lock.

III. Review and understanding of al! Safety Instructions and

Operating Procedures thru-out manual.

INSTAL LATION

1. Set carriage lock before moving the saw.

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

3. Mount the saw so the table is approximately 39" above the floor.

4. Mount the saw so the arm s!opes slightly downward to the rear so the carriage will not roll forward due to

gravity.

5. If you attach any kind of table extensions over 24"

wide to either end of the saw, make sure you either bolt the saw to the bench or floor as appropriate, or support the outer end of the extension from the bench or floor, as appropriate.

MINIMIZE ACCIDENT POTENTIAL

Most accidents are caused by FAILURE TO FOLLOW

setup and operating instructions:

(A) GENERAL

-Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden slip cotfld cause a hand to move into a sawblade or other

cutting tool. Never reach in back of or around the

cutting tool with either hand to hold down the workpiece, or for any other reason; DO NOT place fingers or hands in the path of the sawblade.

Never saw, dado, mold, or rabbet unless the proper

guard is installed and set up as instructed.

NOTE THE FOLLOWING DANGER LABELS WHICH APPEAR ON THE FRONT OF THE YOKE AND GUARD:

DANGER I

TO AVOID

]

- H any part of this radial saw is missing or should

break, bend or fail in any way, or any electrical

component fail to perform properly, shut off power

switch, remove cord from power supply and replace

damaged, missing and/or failed parts before resuming

operation.

- IF YOUR SAW MAKES AN UNFAMILIAR NOISE OR IF IT VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY CEASE

OPERATING IMMEDIATELY UNTIL THE SOURCE HAS BEEN LOCATED AND THE

PROBLEM CORRECTED.

-WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY (GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR

SAW) TO BECOME COMMONPLACE. ALWAYS

REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF A SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO INFLICT SEVERE INJURY.

Before starting work, verify that no play exists

carriage, and that arm, yoke, and bevel locks/clamps are tight.

- A large proportion of saw accidents is caused by use of the wrong type blade, dull, badly set, improperly sharpened cutting tools, by gum or resin adhering to cutting tools, and by sawblade misalignment

out-of-parallel with the fence. Such conditions can cause the material to stick, jam (stall the saw) or "KICKBACK" at the operator. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW BLADE WITHOUT

FIRST TURNING THE SAW "OFF". If the

sawblade is stalled or jammed, shut saw "OFF", remove workpiece, and check sawblade squareness to

table surface and to the fence, and check for heel. Adjust as indicated.

-CAUTION: DO NOT cycle the motor switch "ON"

and "'OFF" rapidly, as this might cause the sawblade

to loosen. In the event this should ever occur, allow

the saw blade to come to a complete stop and

re-tighten the arbor nut normally, not excessively.

- Do not leave a long board unsupported so the spring

of the board causes it to shift on the table. Provide

proper support for the workpiece, based on its size

and the type of operation to be performed. Hold the

work firmly against the fence. Never use a length stop on the free end or edge of the

workpiece whether crosscutting or ripping. Never hang onto or touch the free end of workpiece when

crosscutting, or a free piece that is cut off while

power is "ON" and/or the saw blade is rotating. In

short, the cut-off piece in any "thru-sawing" operation must never be confined - it must be allowed to move laterally.

--Make sure your fingers do not contact the terminals when installing or removing the plug to or from a live

power source.

- Never climb on the saw, or climb near the saw when

power is "ON". Never leave the saw with power "'ON", or before the cutting tool has come to a

complete stop. Lock the motor switch and put away

the key when leaving the saw.

-Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked for an operating speed lower than 3450 RPM. Never

use a cuttlng tool larger in diameter than the diameter for which the saw was designed. For greatest safety

and efficiency when ripping, use the maximum diameter blade for which the saw is designed, since

under these conditions the spreader is nearest the blade.

Never turn your saw "ON" before clearing the table

or work surface of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.) except the workpiece and related feed or

support devices for the operation planned.

- DO NOT perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the table while the cutting tool is rotating.

Never perform any operation "FREE HAND". This

term means feeding the sawblade into the workpiece or feeding the workpiece into the sawblade or other

cutting tool without using the fence or some other device which prevents rotation or twisting of the

workpiece during the operation. Never "RIP'" in the

crosscut position. Never make a miter cut with the arm in the 90 ° crosscut position.

Never lower a revol_ing cutting tool into the table or a workpiece without first locking the Carriage Lock

Knob. Release the knob only after grasping the Yoke Handle. Otherwise the cutting too! may grab the workpiece and be propelled toward you.

The sawblade, dado, or other cutting tool must be

additional safety instructions for radial saws

removed from the saw arbor before using the Therefore, rip with the finished side down (next to accessory shaft (rear end of the saw motor). NEVER the table) and be especially attentive to following operate the saw with cutting tools iincluding sanding

accessories) installed on both ends of the saw arbor.

(B} RIPPING

Ripping is cutting with the grain or the tong way of the board - it is performed by pushing the workpiece

along the fence and thru the sawblade (sawblade parallel to the fence).

1. Never apply the feed force to the section of the workpiece that will become the cut-off (free) piece.

Feed force when ripping must always be applied

between the saw blade and the fence . . . use a "PUSH STICK" (see pg. 26) for narrow or short

work.

2. Whenever possible, use the in-rip position - this provides minimum obstruction for feeding by hand

or push stick as appropriate.

3. Do not release the workpiece before operation is complete - push the workpiece atl the way past the

rear (outfeed or exit) of the sawblade.

4. Make sure by trial before starting the cut that the antikickback pawls will stop a kickback once it has

started. Keep points of pawls SHARP!

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

6. CAUTION: Never reposition the Guard or

antikickback with power "ON".

7. A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type operation when a part or all of the workpiece is thrown back

violently toward the operator. It can occur when the workpiece closes in on the rear (outfeed side) of

the sawblade (pinching), binds between the fence and the sawblade (heel), or is grabbed by the

sawblade teeth (wrong-way feed) at the outfeed

side. "PINCHING" is generally avoided by

utilization of the spreader, and a sharp sawblade of the correct type for the workpiece being cut.

"HEEL" can be avoided by maintaining the

sawblade exactly parallel to the fence. Grabbing by the sawblade teeth can be caused by heel or by

feeding from the wrong direction (see "DANGER" warning on guard) - it can be avoided by maintaining parallelism of sawblade to fence,

feeding into the sawblade from the nose of the guard only, by positioning the spreader and antikickback properly, and keeping the workpiece clown on the table and against the fence.

8. Position the nose of the guard to just clear the workpiece, and position/adjust the antikickback and spreader devices as instructed.

9. NEVER cut more than one piece at a time by stacking workpieces vertically.

10. NEVER feed a workpiece thru the saw with another piece (butting second piece against trailing edge of

piece being cut), even if of the same thickness. Feed each workpiece individually thru the sawblade, and

completely beyond the sawblade, before ripping the next workpiece. Use push stick if the rip cut is less

than 6'" wide.

11, DO NOT pul! the workpiece thru the sawblade

- position your body at the nose (in-feed) side of the guard: start and complete the cut from that same

side. This will require added table support for long pieces.

12. Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may be cut on your saw. However, since these are

usually quite hard and slippery, the antikickback pawls may not stop a kickback.

proper set-up and cutting procedures. Do not stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line with a

potential kickback.

13. When sawing 1/4" or thinner materials, follow at! normal ripping procedures except set sawblade into

table top at least 1/8". DO NOT let go of or stop feeding the workpiece between the blade and fence

until you have pushed it completely past the antikickbaek pawls. Otherwise the workpiece could get into the back of the sawblade and be thrown violently from the saw in the direction opposite to

the feed direction. This is the same action that would occur if the instructions of the DANGER

warning on the guard is aborted. Do not stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line with the path of a workpiece that may be thrown from the saw in

this manner.

14. Position the saw so neither you, a helper, or a casuat observer is forced to stand in line with the

sawblade.

15. Use extra care when ripping wood that has a twisted grain or is twisted or bowed it may rock on the table and/or pinch the sawblade.

16. Shaping of wood with a dado head or a molding head can be performed "top-side" (cutting tool basically vertical and employing sawblade guard}, or

"edge" (saw arbor vertical -- cutting tool horizontal

- and employing the Accessory molding head guard).

Ploughing (Grooving with the grain)

Top side rabbeting

Top side molding

(shaping)...

resawing, gaining, coving, with the grain, are examples of rip-type cuts, The same basic setup

procedures including rotation of the guard and adjusting and positioning of the AKB/Spreader

device as for in-rip or out-rip cutting, apply.

However, since none of these operations involve thru-sawing (sawing through the workpiece), there is no kerf. Therefore the spreader and AKB pawls

can only be lowered to a position where the spreader just clears the workpiece.

CAUTION: The AKB/Spreader device will not stop a kickback in this position, but will act as a

holddown and as a guard of the out-feed side of

the sawblade.

17.

For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a

workpiece to which a push stick or push board is applied must be square (perpendicular to the fence) in order that feed pressure applied to the workpiece by the push stick or block does not cause the workpiece to come away from the fence,

and possibly cause a kickback.

18.

During rip and rip type cuts, the workpiece must be held down on the table and against the fence with a push stick, push block, or featherboards. A

featherboard is made of solid lumber per sketch.

(C)CROSSCUTTING

1. ALWAYSRETURNTHECARRIAGETOTHE FULLREARWARDPOSITIONATCONCLUSION

OFEACHCROSSCUTTYPEOPERATION.Never

remove your hand from the Yoke Handle unless the carriage is in this position. Otherwise the cutting

tool may climb up on the workpiece and be

propelled toward you.

2. Place guard in horizontal position and adjust antikickback pawls to just clear the top of the fence

or workpiece, whichever is higher. This provides additional guarding.

3. NEVER gang crosscut - lining up more than one workpiece in front of the fence - stacked vertically,

o_ horizontally outward on the table -- and then pulling saw thru: the blade could pick up one or more pieces and cause a binding or loss of control and possible injury.

4. Do not position the Arm so the operation you are

performing permits the cutting tool to extend beyond the edges of the Table.

5. -1op-side dadoing or molding across the grain are examples of crosscut-type cuts. The same basic

procedures including positioning of the

AKB/Spreader device as for crosscutting, apply.

(D) ACC ESSORI ES

1. Use only recommended accessories as listed on page

34.

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

guard is installed - see listing of recommended accessories. The only exception is when "top-side"

dadoing or molding, when the sawblade guard must be used. See detailed instructions that accompany

the dado head, molding head, and molding head guard.

3. The use of grinding wheels, abrasive or cut-off wheels, or wire wheels, can be dangerous and is not

recommended. (Abrasive or cut-off wheels are used to saw many different materials including metals, stone, and glass.)

4. Drill Chuck: Do not install or use any twist drill larger than 1/2-inch in dia., or longer than 7 inches in length or extending more than 6inches beyond the chuck jaws. Do not install or use any reduced

shank drill except of the spade type (1 inch dia. or smaller). "Use for drilling WOOD and PLASTIC only."

NOTE: Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use the arbor wrench to just "snug" it.

WEAR YOUR

The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles complying

with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on Package) before commencing power tool operation. Safety Goggles are available at Sears

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION

NOTE: This motor should be blown out, or "vacuumed", frequently to prevent sawdust interference with normal

motor ventilation.

Your 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.

PROTECT_

(R_D

1. If the protector opens the line and stops the saw motor, immediately press the saw switch to the "OFF'"

position, and allow the motor to cool.

normally, by pulling out 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 differently from recommendations, Overloading can occur if you feed to rapidly or if your saw is misaligned so that the blade heels. Do not use a fuse of greater

capacity without consulting a qualified electrician.

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 equals the voltage specified on nameplate.

6. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect connections, overloading, reduced input

LOCATIONS AND FUNCTIONS OF CONTROLS

voltage (such as small size wires in the supply circuit) or to an overly-long supply circuit. Always check the connections, the load and the supply circuit, whenever the motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and lengths with the table following.

WIRE SIZES

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent

over-heating and motor burn-out, use the table below to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.

Use only 3 wire extension cords which have 3 prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tools plug.

NOTE: For circuits of greater length, the wire size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the saw motor.

ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT:

IN ORDER TO OBTAIN MAXIMUM CUTTING ACCURACY, THE FOLLOWING SIX STEPS

MUST BE CAREFULLY FOLLOWED. BECOME THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH

THESE STEPS SO THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS MAINTAIN YOUR SAW IN PROPER ALIGNMENT. THE ACCURACY OF EACH ADJUSTMENT IS ALWAYS DEPENDENT

UPON THE ACCURA CY OF THE PRECEDING ADJUS TMENT.

After following the 6 step assembly and alignment procedure and the Basic Saw operation section refer to Trouble Shooting section if any difficulty is experienced

when performing any sawing operation.

STEP ONE

NOTE: The following adjustment, performed properly, will

result in the work table being parallel to the arm.

ATTACHING AND LEVELING TABLE MOUNTING

SUPPORT CHANNELS.

1. Attach table mounting support channels with four square head 5/16 18 x 3/4 screws, Iockwashers and flat washers and nuts. POSITION SCREWS IN CENTER OF

CHANNEL SLOTS, finger tight to permit channels to "slip" against the base when leveling.

(approximately 50° miter). Loosen carriage Jack knob

and positior, carriage directly over left hand channel. NOTE: For safety reasons in accordance with the UL

standard, stops have been provided to prevent 360 ° rotation of the radial arm.

4. Slide the arbor wrench handle between end of motor shaft and mounting channel to act as a feeler gauge.

Carefully lower the motor with elevation crank until the end of shaft is just touching the arbor wrench. The

wrench should slide back and forth with only slight resistance. Tighten screw "A".

NOTE: Do qot change this elevation setting until both left and right hand table support channels have been

adjusted.

5. Move arm and carriage to screw "B" and tighten support in the same manner.

6. Move arm and carriage to right hand support channel and level in the same manner you adjusted the left hand

support channel.

7. Recheck both support channels to make sure that

tightening screws did not affect the accuracy of the adjustment.

8. Elevate saw and place motor in vertical position to provide clearance for installation of front (work) table.

NOTE: The following adjustment is very CRITICAL. Al!

future alignment procedures rely on this adjustment being performed correctly. ALL LOOSENESS MUST BE

REMOVED. t. Indux and lock arm at 0° Miter.

Whi!e holding the arm with one hand, hold fingers of other hand as shown, between column tube and column

support. Apply gentle side pressure to the arm in opposing directions. Any side to side or rotational

movement (indicated by arrow) can be felt with finger. If looseness exists the following adjustments are

requi red,
