The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and the explanations with them, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger. The Instructions or warnings they give ere not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures. MEANING SYMBOL SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL Indicatesdanger, warningor caution.May be used in conjunctionwith othersymbolsor pictographs.
n USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition,Use onlya cord heavy enough to carry the current your productwill draw. An undersizedcord will cause a drop in linevoltage resultingin loss of power and overheating.A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommendedfor an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt,use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS.
• • GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK, Kickbackcan occur when the blade stalls, drivingthe work piece back toward the operator. It can cause your hand to contact the blade, resultingin serious personal injury. Stay out of the blade path and turnswitch off immediately it blade binds or stalls. ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME UP TO FULL SPEED before starting a cut to avoid blade binding or stalling. l ALWAYS PUSH THE WORKPIECE when ripping; never pull it toward the saw. DO NOT FEED THE MATERIAL TOO QUICKLY.
M SECURE THE SAW. Firmly boltthe saw to the leg stand to keep the saw from tipping,walking, or sliding. B DO NOT SET UP WORK WITH THE BLADE SPINNING. Keep the saw power off untilyou are ready to use it. M RIP ONLY WORKPIECES LONGER THAN THE BLADE'S DIAMETER. Never rip a piece of wood that is shorter than the diameter of the blade. m NEVER LOWER AN UNLOCKED REVOLVING CUI-rlNG TOOL. Always lock the carriage lock knob before loweringthe blade. M SHUT OFF THE POWER TO FREE A JAMMED GUARD.
EXTENSION CORDS GROUNDINGINSTRUC_ONS Use only 3-wire extension cordsthat have 3-prong groundingplugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will drew. An undersizedextension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resultingin a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat.

REMOVING THE BLADE See Figure 14. Remove the blade and blade guard assembly during setup for safety and better access. The blade guard includesan upper blade guard, an outer lower guard, and an inner lowerguard. The lower inner guard consistsof two overlappingslotted metal strips. The stripsare held together with a retainingscrew and a nut. Locate these items before beginningthe procedure.
SET'rING THE ARM LOCK KNOB ARMCAP MOTOR See Figure 16. It may be possibleto move the arm when locked, if the arm lock knob is too loose• If the arm does not move freely when unlocked,the arm lock knob may be too tight. Use this procedure to check and set the arm lock knob by turningthe arm lock wheel (under the carriage arm). • • • YOKELOCK HANDLE To release the arm lock knob, located on top of the arm at the front, pullthe arm lock knob forward until the spring is compressed.
SETTING THE REVEL LOCK LEVER See Figures 18A-18C, The bevel lock lever locksthe blade at desired angles other than the preset positivestop angles. The bevel lock lever is preset at the factory but may need readjustmentafter shippingor extended use. Check for overtightnessor looseness and make any necessary adjustmentsas follows: The bevel lock lever is locatedon the frontof the yoke assembly, near the bottom. It is attached to a clamp boltthat controlsthe amount of tightness.
TIGHTENING THE ARM AND COLUMN ADJUSTING THE COLUMN TUBE See Figure 19. See Figures 20A - 20D. There should be no play, vertical or horizontal,in the arm relativeto the column. If you can movethe arm up, down or sideways when the arm lock is unlocked, use the followingsteps to tighten the arm, The purpos¢.pfthis procedureis to check whether the inner column tube is snug in the housingand to remove any looseness. Loosenesscould resultin a poor cut or difficultyin elevatingthe carriage.
• ElevationAdjustment Rotationcheck:To check the rotation, hold the front of the ann with one hand and grasp the top of the column supportwith the other. Press the arm to the side. If there is play between the column support and the column tube, it needs to be adjusted. See Figure 20B. COLUMN COLUMNTUBE COLUMN SILVER COLUMNSUPPORT • BLACK SCREWS Fig, 20B Elevation Adjustment:If the elevation check did not show any play between the column tube and the support, go to the rotationadjustment.
ADJUSTING THE CARRIAGE See Figures21A and 215. • BEARINGS Loose carriage bearings permitthe blade to wander slightlywhile cutting,which will resultin a poor cut and more wear and tear on the saw. Use the following steps to check for tightness and to then adjust the beadngs if needed. • Turn the eccentricscrew a partialturn as needed to tightenthe bearing. • Retighten the nut and repeat the second stepto test the tightness.
LEVELING THE TABLE See Figures 22,4 and 22B. SUPPORTS Place the wrench belowthe shaft and checkthat the clearance is the same. If not, adjustthe table supportuntil it is the same, Securelytightenthe frontscrew, The table supports must be perfectlylevel. • Pull the bevel lock lever forward to unlockit. Use the bevel index knobto rotate the motorso the arbor shaft pointsdown. Lock the bevel lock lever. • Release the arm lock knob to angle the arm.
INSTALLING THE FRONT See Figures 23,4 - 23C. TABLE U-CLIP AUGNU-CLIP OVERTHISHOLE Use this procedure to installthe fixed fronttable. The top of the table has counterboredholes, preddlled from the top, around the center to attach the table. In the center are a counterbored hole and a small hole, which is not counterbored.They are used for raising or loweringthe center of the table until it is level. • • Locate the fronttable and the followinghardware: 1 tee nut 1 U-clip (1/4 in.
LEVELING THE FRONTTABLE INSTALLING REAR TABLE, SPACER TABLE, FENCE, AND CLAMPS See Figures25A - 25C. The placement of the tables and fence may need to be changed for different cuts, depending on the size of the workpiece and the positionof the blade. The fence shouldbe installednext to the front table for maximum depth capacity; it shouldbe installed in the middle for maximumcross cut capacity;and installed all the way back for maximum rip capacity. See Figure24.
INSTALLING BLADE AND BLADE GUARD See Figures26,4 and 26B. • Collect the blade and hardware that were removed eadier. Place the inner bladewasher, saw blade, outer blade washer, and blade nut on the blade arbor. See Figure26A. Note: The concave side of blade washers go againstthe blade. • Hold the blade arbor with one wrenchand rotate the other blade wrenchcounterclockwise(up), to tightenthe blade nut. See Figure26B. Note: Blade arbor has left hand threads.
ALIGN RIVING KNIFE TO BLADE • With the elevating handwheel, lowerthe arm until the blade just clears the table. See Figures 27A - 27C. When rippingthe rivingknife must be cantered with the blade to ride in the middle of the kerf and keep it from binding. Bindingpinchesthe blade. Blade pinchingcan cause kickback. There are two pairs of anti-kickbackpawls. _l WARNING: Failure to use the rivingknife, hold downs, and anti-kickbackpawls can allow kickback.
INSTALLING RIP SCALE INDICATORS SCREWS See Figure 28. RIPSCALE INDICATOR The ripscale indicatorson the arm show the distance between the blade and the ripfence with the fence in the front and rear positions.The upper scale is used when the fence is positioneddirectly behindthe front table. The lower scale is used when the fence is at the extreme rear, directly in front of the column. SPEEDNUT CARRIAGE The In-Rip Indicator is on the dght side of the arm.
ALIGNING THE ARM FOR CROSS Release the arm lock knob. Positionthe arm straightforward (O') and leave it unlocked. CUTS See Figures 29A - 29C. This procedure checks whether the arm is exactly O" for cross cut travel by checking the blade against the table and the miter indicator.Remove the rear table, spacer table, and fence, but leave the front table in place. You will need a framing square, a 3/16 in. hex key, and a pencil.
ALIGNING BLADE TO TABLE AT O" BEVEL • If there are no gaps, fullytighteneach screw, If there is stilla gap, repeat the previoustwo steps. This procedure squares the blade to the table at O" bevel (vertical) so the blade angle willbe accurate. If the blade is not at D"bevel, follow the steps below to rotate slightly.You willneed a framing square and a 1/4 in. hex key. • Positionthe blade in front of the fence. Lowerthe blade with the elevating handwheeluntil it just clears the fronttable.
SQUARINGBLADE TO FENCE • Release the yoke lock handle (below the yoke on the fight). With a 1/2 in. wrench, slightlyloosen the two hex bolts holdingthe yoke pivotlatch. • • Rotate yoke assembly untilthe gap is eliminated. Lock the yoke lock handle. Retightenthe two hex boltson the yoke pivotlatch. See Figures 31A - 31C. This procedure squares the miter angle of the blade to the fence to reducethe dsk of bindingand kickback.
PARALLELING BLADE See Figures 32A-32C. TO TABLE • Check whetherthe blade is flat againstthe edge the entire length or whethera gap is visible. If you can see a gap, adjustthe blade to be at 90" bevel to the table with the followingsteps. • Unlockthe bevel lock lever. Loosenthe rear motor mountnut,which holdsthe motoron the yoke. Place a fiat blade screwdriverin one of the slots, and rotatethe cam behind the nut to eliminate the gap between the blade and the square.
ALIGNING THE RIP SCAL• INDICATORS • On the rightside of the arm, check the lower in-dp scale indicator,whichshould be set on O inches. If it is not, loosenthe screws and shift the indicator untilit reads zero. Tightenthe screws. See Figures 33A - 33B. The rip scale indicatorson the arm show the distance between the blade and the rip fence. The upper scale is used when the fence is positioneddirectly behind the front table.
INSTALLING See Figure 34. CONTROL CUT DEVICE • Plug in the control cut cord, leaving the main power cord disconnected.Squeeze the switchtdgger to confirmthe control cut motoris receivingpower. Note: Before installingthe controlcut device, the yoke assembly will travel beck and forward on the carriage by pullingthe handle. After installing the control cut device, the power cordfor the control cut device must be plugged in and switchtrigger pressed to move the yoke assembly and carriage on the arm.
BASIC OPERATION ARM SAW OF THE RADIAL A radial arm saw can be used for straight-linecutting operations such as cross cutting,ripping, mitering, beveling, compound cutting,and resawing. It can make dado or molding cuts with special attachments. This sew is designed to cut wood and wood composition productsonly. The three-prong plug must be plugged into a matching outletthat is properly installedand grounded accordingto all local codes and ordinances.
SWITCH AND SWITCH See Figures 36-38. KEY The main power switch has been placed on the front of the arm for easy access. The yellowswitch key prevents accidental startingof the main power switch when saw is not being used. To activate the switch, insertthe switch key and liftswitch to ON position.To lookthe switchonce it has been pressed to OFF, remove the yellow key. Place the key in a locationthat is inaccessibleto childrenend othersnot qualifiedto use the tool.
CUTTING AIDS See Figures 39-41. Cuttingaids are used to improve the setup and help make the operator's work safer end more accurate. They can be made from scrap wood and in various sizes and shapes for specific projects, The basic types are pushsticks,pushblocks,and featherboards. If the blade is set 2 in. or more from the fence, use a pushstick.Use a pushblockwhen the blade is between 1/2 in. and 2 in. from the fence. (If the cut is narrower than 1/2 in., use a different saw.
MAKING A CROSS See Figure 42. CUT • If the blade is angled, raise the plasticlower guard, release the bevel lock lever, and set the bevel indicatorto zero. Retightenthe bevel lock lever. • If the blade is in front of the fence, loosenthe cardage lock knobon the leftside of the arm. Release the switchtrigger and let the carriage returnto the back. Use this procedure to make a cut with the blade vertical and straightforward.
MAKING A MITER CUT • See Figure 43. In a miter cut, the blade is verticaland the arm angled. If a ked does not exist for the cutting path, make one (instructionsbelow). Each cuttingpath requires its own kerf. If the blade is in frontof the fence, loosen the carriage lock knob on the left side of the arm and let the carriage move back. • If there is no kerf, cut one approximately 1/16 in. deep. Grasp the handle and turnthe saw on with the switchon the arm.
MAKING A BEVEL CUT • Release the switch triggerand let the carriage returnto the back, Turn the saw off with the switch on the arm but hold the handle untilthe blade stops rotating.Adjustthe height with the elevating handwheel so the blade will rotate freely in the kerr. • Positionthe workpieceagainst the fence. Place the pawls and rivingknife to clear the workpiece or the fence, whichever is higher, by at least 114inch, See Figure 44.
MAKING A COMPOUND See Figure 45. CROSS CUI" In this cut, boththe blade and the arm are angled. Be familiar with both bevel and miter cuts before making a compoundcut. Practice on scrap wood. _1= WARNING: Make sure the blade guard is lowered and is workingproperlyto prevent possible injury.Always raise the clear plastic guard before changing the bevel or loweringthe blade to avoid damage to the guard. _k WARNING: Keep one hand on the handle until the blade stops rotatingto prevent the risk of injury.
RIP CUT HAZARDS SETTING UP A RIP CUT See Figure 46. AND PRECAUTIONS Two hazards are specificallyassociated with rip cutting:ouffeed zone and wrong way feed. In the outfeed zone (behind the blade), the blade teeth point down. The slightestcontact while the blade is still spinningcan snag clothing,jewelry, the workpiece, or even skin, causing serious personal injury. A precise and safe rip cut requiresa careful set up.
• Put the blade in the in-rippositionbetween the motorand the column.Release the yoke look handle and pivotthe yoke to the left, with the yoke pivot latch on the right side of the arm. (Use the out-rip position only for rlpa 12 in. or more in width; pivot the yoke to the right so the motor is between the blade and column.) • Keep your otherhand on the table and steady the workpieceagainst the fence. Keep that hand at least 8 in. from the blade.
MAKINGO_HER OUTS See Figu_s 48 and 49, ,_ WARNING: Make sure the blade guard is lowered and is workingproperlyto prevent possibleinjury. ,_ WARNING: Never put your hands within 3 in. of the blade when it is on. Variationsfrom the basic cuts includecuttinglong workpieces and non-throughcuts. When making one of the following cuts, followthe instructionsthat apply for the basic cut, dependingon the position,shape, and size of the wood. Do not attempt these cuts until you are skilled with the basic cuts.
NON-THROUGH See Figure 49. CUTS NON-THROUGH CUT ,_L WARNING: Unplug the saw while removingor replacing the blade guard. Turn on the saw with the switch on the arm to confirmthe blade is not receivingpower. • Place a supportthe same height as the saw table nearby for the cut work. Lower the blade with the elevating handwheel. • Make sure the wood is not touchingthe blade. Insert the key and turn on the saw. Let the blade build up to before worksection).
