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 are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.
• USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
• GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback can • occur when the blade stalls, driving the work piece back toward the operator. It can cause your hand to contact the blade, resulting in serious personal • injury. Stay out of the bladepath and turn switch off immediately if blade bindsorstalls.
• SECURE THE SAW. Firmly bolt the saw to the leg stand to keep the saw from tipping, walking, or sliding. • DO NOT SET UP WORK WITH THE BLADE SPINNING. Keep the saw power off until you are ready to use it. • RIP ONLY WORKPIECES LONGER THAN THE BLADE'S DIAMETER.
EXTENSION CORDS Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. When using a power tool at a consider- able distance from the power source, use an exten- sion cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw.
CHANGING VOLTAGE See Figures 2-4. Your radial saw has been set up at the factory to operate efficiently on a 120V AC single voltage circuit. However, if heavy duty operation is required, the circuits are overloaded, or the circuit is low voltage, have a qualified electrician change the voltage on the main power system to a 240V AC voltage circuit.

KNOW YOUR RADIAL SAW See Figure 8A. OVERVIEW -The main operating components include the column, the arm, and the yoke assembly (yoke, motor, and blade), and their operation is summarized in the paragraph below. Safety features and control functions are given also.
FEATURES LIST See Figures 8A-8D. ADJUSTABLE TABLES - A narrow spacer table and wider rear table that can be repositioned or even replaced with different tables. See Figure 8C. ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS - Toothed pawls that snag the work in case of kickback during rip cuts.
CARRIAGE - Slides along track under arm and supports yoke. Contained in two carriage covers, one on each side of the arm. See Figure 8C. CARRIAGE LOCK KNOB - Controls whether the carriage is locked or can travel. Located on the left side of the arm on the carriage cover.
MOTOR (13/6.5 AMP) - Powers the blade and is controlled by the switch and key at the front of the arm. The powerful induction motor has a capacitor start. It is mounted in the yoke and rotated with the bevel index knob and bevel lock lever. See Figure 8B.
Assembly is best done in the area where the saw will be used. When you remove the saw andhardware from the packing materials, carefully check the items with the Loose Parts list. If you areunsure about the description of any part, refer to their illustrations.
MOUNTING SAW TO LEG STAND See Figure 10. ,_ WARNING: Firmly bolt the saw to the leg stand to keep the saw from tipping, walking, or sliding. • Locate the following hardware from a small hard- ware bag: 4 hex bolts (5/16-18 x 5/8 in.) 4 Iockwashers (5/16 in.
INSTALLING THE YOKE ASSEMBLY See Figures 12A - 12C. The yoke rides in the carriage below the arm and supports the motor, the blade guard, and the blade. Install the yoke assembly from the front of the arm. • Remove the carriage stop screw and Iockwasher from below the front of the arm with a 1/4 in.
REMOVING THE BLADE See Figure 13. Remove the blade and blade guard assembly during setup for safety and better access. The blade guard includes an upper blade guard, an outer lower guard, and an inner lower guard. The lower inner guard consists of two overlapping slotted metal strips.
SETTING THE ARM LOCK KNOB See Figure 15. It may be possible to 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 turning the arm lock wheel (under the carriage arm).
SETTING THE BEVEL LOCK LEVER See Figures 17A -17C. The bevel lock lever locks the blade at desired angles other than the preset positive stop angles. The bevel lock lever is preset at the factory but may need readjustment after shipping or extended use.
TIGHTENING THE ARM AND COLUMN See Figure 18. There should be no play, vertical or horizontal, in the arm relative to the column. If you can move the arm up, down or sideways when the arm lock knob is unlocked, use the following steps to tighten the arm.
• Rotation check: To check the rotation, hold the front of the arm with one hand and grasp the top of the column support with 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.
ADJUSTING THE CARRIAGE BEARINGS See Figures 20A and 20B. Loose carriage bearings permit the blade to wander slightly while cutting, which will result in a poor cut and more wear and tear on the saw. Use the following steps to check for tightness and to then adjust the bearings if needed.
LEVELING THE TABLE SUPPORTS See Figures 2fA and 2fB. The table supports must be perfectly level. • Pull the bevel lock lever forward to unlock it. Use the bevel index knob to rotate the motor so the arbor shaft points down. Lock the bevel lock lever.
INSTALLING THE FRONT TABLE See Figures 22A - 22C. Use this procedure to install the fixed front table. The top of the table has counterbored holes, predrilled 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.
LEVELING THE FRONT TABLE See Figure 23. If there are any high or low areas on the front table, they should be removed by adjusting the leveling screws in the center holes on the front table. • Place the rear table on its edge across the front table to check for gaps.
THUMBSCREW CLAMP BRACKET SQUARE NUT I CUP WASHER _) RECTANGLE HOLE CUP TO WASHER LOOSEN TO TIGHTEN THUMB SCREW CLAMPSHOWN ASSEMBLED SLOT Fig. 24B TABLE SUPPORT INSTALLING BLADE AND BLADE GUARD See Figures 25A and 25B. • Collect the blade and hardware that were removed earlier.
ALIGN RIVING KNIFE TO BLADE See Figures 26A - 26C. When ripping the riving knife must be centered with the blade to ride in the middle of the kerf and keep it from binding. Binding pinches the blade. Blade pinching can cause kickback. There are two pairs of anti-kickback pawls.
INSTALLING RIP SCALE INDICATORS See Figure 27. The rip scale indicators on the arm show the distance between the blade and the rip fence with the fence in the front and rear positions. The upper scale is used when the fence is positioned directly behind the front table.
ALIGNING THE ARM FOR CROSS CUTS See Figures 28A - 28C. This procedure checks whether the arm is exactly 0 ° 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.
ALIGNING BLADE TO TABLE AT 0 ° BEVEL See Figures 29A - 29D. This procedure squares the blade to the table at 0 ° bevel (vertical) so the blade angle will be accurate. If the blade is not at 0 ° bevel, follow the steps below to rotate slightly. You will need a framing square and a 1/4 in.
SQUARING BLADE TO FENCE See Figures 30A - 30C. This procedure squares the miter angle of the blade to the fence to reduce the risk of binding and kickback. If the blade is not square to the fence, the yoke assem- bly must be rotated slightly. Have a framing square, a 1/2 in.
PARALLELING BLADE TO TABLE See Figures 31A-31C. This procedure squares the blade to the table at 90 ° bevel so horizontal cuts will be accurate. This also reduces kickback, as well as splintering and burning of the cut edges of the workpiece. If the blade is not at 90 ° bevel, follow the steps to rotate the blade unit slightly.
ALIGNING THE RIP SCALE INDICATORS See Figures 32A - 32B. The rip scale indicators on the arm show the distance between the blade and the rip fence. The upper scale is used when the fence is positioned directly behind the front table. The lower scale is used when the fence is at the extreme rear, directly in front of the column.
INSTALLING CONTROL CUT DEVICE See Figure 33. Note: Before installing the control cut device, the yoke assembly will travel back and forward on the carriage by pulling the handle.
BASIC OPERATION OF THE RADIAL ARM SAW A radial arm saw can be used for straight-line cutting operations such as cross cutting, ripping, mitering, beveling, compound cutting, and resawing. It can make dado or molding cuts with special attachments. This saw is designed to cut wood and wood composi- tion products only.
SWITCH AND SWITCH KEY See Figures 35-37. The main power switch has been placed on the front of the arm for easy access. The yellow switch key prevents accidental starting of the main power switch when saw is not being used. To activate the switch, insert the switch key and lift switch to ON position.
CUTTING AIDS See Figures 38-40. Cutting aids are used to improve the setup and help make the operator's work safer and 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.
MAKING A CROSS CUT See Figure 41. Use this procedure to make a cut with the blade vertical and straight forward. If a kerf does not exist for the line of the cut (cutting path), follow the steps to make one. Each cutting path requires its own kerf. ,_ WARNING: Make sure the blade guard is lowered and is working properly to prevent possible injury.
MAKING A MITER CUT See Figure 42. In a miter cut, the blade is vertical and the arm angled. If a kerf does not exist for the cutting path, make one (instructions below). Each cutting path requires its own kerf. ,_ WARNING: Make sure the blade guard is lowered and is working properly to prevent possible injury.
MAKING A BEVEL CUT See Figure 43. This procedure makes a cut with the blade and motor angled and the arm straight (90 ° to fence). If there is no kerf, follow the steps to make one. Try this cut on scrap wood before cutting your workpiece. ,_ WARNING: Make sure the blade guard is lowered and is working properly to prevent possible injury.
MAKING A COMPOUND CROSS CUT See Figure 44. In this cut, both the blade and the arm are angled. Be familiar with both bevel and miter cuts before making a compound cut. Practice on scrap wood. ,_ WARNING: Make sure the blade guard is lowered and is working properly to prevent possible injury.
RiP CUT HAZARDS AND PRECAUTIONS Two hazards are specifically associated with rip cutting: outfeed zone and wrong way feed. In the outfeed zone (behind the blade), the blade teeth point down. The slightest contact while the blade is still spinning can snag clothing, jewelry, the work- piece, or even skin, causing serious personal injury.
• Put the blade in the in-rip position between the motor and the column. Release the yoke lock handle and pivot the yoke to the left, with the yoke pivot latch on the right side of the arm. (Use the out-rip position only for rips 12 in. or more in width; pivot the yoke to the right so the motor is between the blade and column.
MAKING OTHER CUTS See Figures 47 and 48. Variations from the basic cuts include cutting long workpieces and non-through cuts. When making one of the following cuts, follow the instructions that apply for the basic cut, depending on the position, shape, and size of the wood.
NON-THROUGH CUTS See Figure 48. ,_ WARNING: Unplug the saw while removing or replacing the blade guard. Turn on the saw with the switch on the arm to confirm the blade is not receiving power. • Remove the blade and blade guard (see Assembly section).
