OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND PARTS LIST FOR

CRAFTSMAN BENCH SAW

Model 103.23420

ASSEMBLING

This bench saw was completely inspected and tested at the factory. To prevent
damage during shipment, the fence assembly, the guard and splitter
assembly and the miter gage assembly were packed separately in an
enclosed carton.

Before reassembling, check the alignment of the saw blade with one of the
miter slots in the table. If the distance from the front and rear blade edge to
the miter slot is not equal, loosen the two hex head cap screws which hold the
table tilt protractor (Figure 2) to the table and shift the table until the blade.
and miter slot are parallel.

Install the guard and splitter by inserting the splitter pin (Figure 1) into the
hole in the rear of the table support No. 33180. With a straight edge, align the
splitter and saw blade before tightening the set screw X102. After loosening
the rip fence clamp knob and rip fence lock knob (Figure 2) slide the fence
into position so that it grips the protruding lip of the rear fence guide bar No.
18624 and slides over the front fence guide bar No. 33716 as illustrated. Place
the miter gage on the table so that the bar rests in the miter slot as shown in
Figure 3.

LUBRICATION

Before operating this saw, remove the two oil plugs over the spindle bearings
(Figure 2) and fill the reservoirs with a good grade machine oil of S.A.E.
viscosity No. 20. Use an oil can with a small spout, or a pressure can so that air
in the reservoirs may be more easily displaced. Replace the plugs after oiling.
The reservoirs extend completely around the bearing, and should be kept full
of oil.

The bronze bearings used in this saw are designed to absorb, filter, and meter
oil to the spindle. The bearings contain invisible pores which become
saturated with oil. When the bearings and spindle become warm during
operation, the oil flows through the bearings to the revolving spindle.

Caution: Do not drill holes through the bearings to feed oil to the spindle.

Oil should be applied occasionally to the other moving and sliding parts of the
bench saw to maintain smooth operation.
