instructions to help users eliminate or
reduce the risk of accidents and injuries,
including:
1. Severe cuts, and loss of fingers or other
body parts due to contact with the blade.
2. Eye impact injuries and blindness, from
being hit by a thrown workpiece, workpiece
chips or pieces of blade.
3. Bodily impact injuries, broken bones and
internal organ damage from being hit by a
thrown workpiece.

WARNING or CAUTION, which tells the
level of risk:
DANGER:means if the safety informa-
tion is not followed someone will be seri-
ously injured or killed.
WARNING:means if the safety informa-
tion is not followed someone could be seri-
ously injured or killed.
CAUTION:means if the safety informa-
tion is not followed someone may be injured.
Read and follow all safety information
and instructions.
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 haz-
ards. Read the ripping and crosscutting
safety sections for more detailed explana-
tions of these and other hazards.
Outfeed Zone Hazard
If you reach around the blade to the outfeed
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
instructions under ripping safety.
Safety

4
Kickback Hazard
Kickback is the uncontrolled propelling of the
workpiece back toward the user during rip-
ping.
The cause of kickback is the binding or
pinching of the blade in the workpiece. Sev-
eral conditions can cause the blade to bind
or pinch.
When a workpiece kicks back, it could hit
hard enough to cause internal organ injury,
broken bones, or death.
Read and follow the information and
instructions 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 work-
piece into the blade. Fingers or hand could
be cut off.
The propelled workpiece could hit a
bystander, causing severe impact injury or
death.
Read and follow the information and
instructions under ripping safety.

Guard Function and Features
The guard is a very important safety feature,
designed to reduce the risk of injury associ-
ated with blade contact. Install the guard
correctly. Follow the specific instructions
in the ripping and crosscutting sections
to set and use the guard correctly for
each type of cut.
Guard Features Include:
1. A non-moveable metal upper portion,
(Upper Guard) which is fastened to the
motor by the guard clamp screw, and which
fully covers the upper half of the blade.
2. A moveable clear plastic portion, (Plas-
tic Lower Guard) which partially covers the
lower half of the blade. It protects against
contact with the side of the blade during
crosscutting when 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. It also protects
against contact with the outfeed side of the
blade during ripping, and acts as a barrier to
prevent wrong way feed.
3. A squeeze trigger in the saw handle to
fully raise the clear plastic guard at the start
of a crosscut. Note: This is necessary because
the guard will not automatically raise to clear the
fence.
4. A hold down to be lowered to just clear
the top of the workpiece for ripping.It acts as
a barrier to the infeed side of the blade,
keeps the workpiece from fluttering, and acts
as a sawdust deflector. It is locked/unlocked
by the hold down knob.
5. A riving knife to be lowered to the table
for ripping. It keeps the workpiece kerf open,
thereby reducing blade pinching and the risk
of kickback. It also acts as a barrier to the
hazardous outfeed side and prevents wrong
way feed. It is locked/unlocked by the riving
knife/pawls knob. When lowered for cross-
cutting, it acts as a barrier to the leading
edge of the blade.

6. Set of pawls to be lowered to the work-
piece surface for ripping. They allow the
workpiece to pass freely from infeed to out-
feed side, but help stop the kickback motion
from outfeed to infeed side by grabbing into
the workpiece surface. Pawls must be reset
each time a different thickness workpiece is
cut.
7. A guard tab to manually raise the plastic
guard at the start of ripping unusual work-
pieces whose size/shape do not cause the
guard to raise automatically.

Safety
Hazards Associated with Clear Por-
tion of Guard
The following safety information applies to all
blades and accessories.
WARNING
Clear plastic portion of guard will not
provide any protection during cross-
cutting 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.
CAUTION
Clear plastic portion of guard can get
caught or jam in fence or table kerfs.
Read and follow the warning on the
guard:
WARNING:
TO AVOID INJURY
SHUT OFF POWER
BEFORE CLEARING A
JAMMED LOWER GUARD
WARNING
Clear plastic guard will increase risk of certain hazards:
• During rip and bevel cuts, narrow cut
off pieces can be pinched between
guard and blade. Cut-off pieces can
kickback.
• In bevel position blade teeth are fully
exposed. Fingers or hand can be cut
off.
• Cut-off pieces can jam between
guard and blade. Turn saw off and wait
for blade to stop before freeing
jammed guard or blade.
• Workpiece or cut-off pieces can be
violently thrown by blade. Wear safety
goggles. Stand out of workpiece path.

Safety Instructions
Read and follow all safety instructions.
Personal Safety Instructions
1. Wear safety goggles labeled ANSI Z87.1
(or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99) on the pack-
age. It means the goggles meet impact stan-
dards set by the American National
Standards Institute. Regular eyeglasses are
not safety goggles.
2. Wear close fitting clothes, short sleeved
shirts, and non-slip shoes. Tie up long hair.
Do not wear gloves, ties, jewelry, loose cloth-
ing, or long sleeves. These can get caught in
the spinning blade and pull body parts into
the blade.
3. Wear dust mask to keep from inhaling
fine particles.
4. Wear ear protectors, plugs or muffs if you
use saw daily.
5. Keep good footing and balance; do not
over-reach.
Work Area Safety Instructions
1. Keep children, pets, and visitors out of
work area; they could be hit by a thrown
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 yel-
low 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 unclut-
tered.

Saw Safety Instructions
1. Use guard, pawls and riving knife accord-
ing to instructions. Keep them in working
order.
2. Routinely check saw for broken or dam-
aged parts. Repair or replace damaged
parts before using saw. Check new or
repaired parts for alignment, binding, and
correct installation.
3. Unplug saw before doing maintenance,
making adjustments, correcting alignment,
or changing blades.
4. Do not force saw. Use saw, blades and
accessories only as intended.
5. Have yellow key out and saw switched
off before plugging in power cord.
6. Before turning on saw, clear table of all
objects except workpiece to be cut and nec-
essary 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 problem
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.
Safety
Workpiece Safety Instructions
1. Cut only wood, woodlike or plastic materials.
Do not cut metal.
2. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stack-
ing or placing workpieces edge to edge can
cause user to lose control of workpiece.

9
Blade Safety Instructions
1. Use only blades marked for at least 3450
rpm.
2. Use only 10" or smaller diameter blades.
3. Use blades for their recommended cut-
ting procedures.
4. Keep blade sharp and clean.
5. Do not overtighten blade nut because
blade collar could warp.
6. Do not turn saw on and off in rapid
sequence because blade can loosen.
7. Blade should stop within 15 seconds after
saw is switched off. If blade takes longer, the
saw needs repair. Contact Authorized Ser-
vice Center.
Safety
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 or afterwards. Support
workpiece with table extensions the same
height as the saw table.
5. To prevent tipping, support outer ends of
extensions with sturdy legs or an outrigger.
6. Do not use another person to help sup-
port workpieces or to aid by pushing or pull-
ing on workpieces, because these actions
can cause kickback. Use table extensions.
7. Use clamps or vice to hold workpiece. It’s
safer than using your hands.

Attaching Table Supports
1. Attach a table support to each side of the
saw using the four hex head bolts and flat
washers. Put the bolts through the center of
the enlarged holes in the table supports so
that the supports may slide up or down as
needed. Put a lockwasher and hex nut on
each bolt and hand tighten.
NOTE:
The goal in adjusting the table supports
and leveling the front table is to make sure that
the table is the same distance from the radial
arm at all points. This ensures that when the
table and blade are installed the clearance
between them will be equal at all points.
Positioning Table Supports
1. Release bevel lock lever, move bevel index
lever to the left and rotate the motor to posi-
tion arbor shaft down. Lock lever lock.
2. Unlock and hold miter/arm lock lever in
index releaseposition as shown. Position arm
against left stop (approximately 50° miter).
Loosen carriage lock knob (rip lock) and posi-
tion arbor shaft directly over left hand table
support.
3. Slide the arbor wrench handle between
end of motor shaft and table support 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 not change this elevation setting
until both left and right hand table support
channels have ben adjusted.
4. Move arm and carriage to screw “B”.
Adjust position of table support so that the
arbor wrench just slips between the end of
the motor shaft and the support. Tighten
screw “B”.
5. Move arm and carriage to right hand table sup-
port and level in the same manner as in step 4.
6. Recheck both support channels to make
sure that tightening screws did not affect the
accuracy of the adjustment.
7. Elevate the saw and return motor to hori-
zontal position to provide clearance for instal-
lation of front work table.

Installing Front Table
1. Position the front table and insert the
front two screws.The rear screw holes in the
table do not line up on any holes in the saw
base.
2. Using the rear screw holes as a drill
guide, drill a 5/16" hole in the saw base for
each of the two rear screws.
3. Remove the front table.
4. The U-Clips that were used as nuts for
the rear screws must be moved to the new
screw location. Remove them from the saw
and reinstall them on the holes you just
drilled.
5. A 5/16" hole must be drilled in the left
and right table rails. Measure 5-1/2" from the
front hole and drill a second hold. This new
hole will be used to mount the front table
board.
6. Identify top and bottom of table: top has
counterbored holes. Place table bottom side
up on solid surfaces. Hammer three tee nuts
into leveling holes. (These holes are not
counterbored from the top.)

ling holes using a 1/8 inch hex “L” wrench.
Tighten the screws until they are flush with
the
table .
11. From the underside of the table attach
the table rails to the table board using the
two holes nearest the end of each rail.
Leveling Front Table
NOTE: The goal of this adjustment is to
make the
front work table flat and parallel to
the
radial arm . In order to do this, you will
choose four points on the
table . When these
four points are level, the entire
table should
be level.
1. Loosen the three
leveling screws and be
sure that the five
mounting screws are snug
but not overtightened.
2. Raise the
radial arm until the bottom of
the
motor is about 2-1/2 inches above the

16. Move the arbor shaft over the lowest
point.
17. Place the handle end of the arbor
wrench over this point and lower the arm
until the arbor shaft is just touching the
wrench. The wrench should slide back and
forth with slight contact.
18. Move the arbor shaft over another point.
Do not change the elevation of the arm.
19. Tighten the mounting screws and/or lev-
eling screws until the handle of the arbor
wrench just fits between this point and the
arbor shaft. The wrench should slide back
and forth with slight contact. Use a 1/8 inch
hex “L” wrench to tighten the leveling screws.
20. Repeat steps 18-19 for the last two
points.
Making Front Table Flat
1. Lay the edge of the rear table across the
front edge of the front table. There should be
no gaps between the two.
2. If you see a gap larger than 1/32 inch,
tighten the center mounting screw and/or the
leveling screws until the gap is gone. Use a
1/8 inch hex “L” wrench to tighten the level-
ing screws.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 at the rear edge of the
front table.
