WHEN INSTALLING OR MOVING THE
SAW
1. To avoid injury from unexpected carriage travel,
lock the rip lock handle before moving the saw.
2. To avoid injury from unexpected saw movement:
(a) Bolt the saw to the floor if it tends to slip,
walk, or slide during normal operation.
(b) When table extensions over 24" wide are
added to either side of the saw, make sure
you either bolt the saw to the floor or support
the outer end of the extension from the floor
as appropriate.
3. To avoid injury from unexpected carriage travel
adjust leveling feet so the arm tilts slightly
downward to the rear so that the carriage will not
roll forward due to gravity. Forward drift of the
carriage on an improperly leveled saw could
cause the blade to lunge forward due to un-
expected contact with the workpiece, fence,
table or part of your body.
BEFORE EACH USE
Plan your work.
-- To avoid injury from accidental starting, always
remove the plug from the outlet, turn the switch
off and remove the switch key before removing
the guard, changing the cutting tool, changing
the setup or making adjustments.
-- To avoid injury from blade contact, slips, shocks,
thrown pieces, etc., check the saw to make sure
that no parts are missing or broken, bent, or have
failed in any way, or any electrical component
fails to perform properly. Shut off power switch,
pull the plug from the outlet and replace damaged,
missing and/or failed parts before resuming
operation.
-- To avoid injury from electrical shock, make sure
your fingers do not contact the terminals when
installing or removing the plug to or from a live
outlet.
-- Check the fence for proper workpiece support. To
avoid fence breakage which could result in thrown
workpieces and blade contact, do not use fences
made of particle board or other composite
materials - use 3/4" thick lumber long enough to
extend in one piece from end to end of the saw
table, and tall enough to be at least even with the
top of the workpiece. Replace any fence where
existing slots in the fence have weakened the
fence or can snag the workpiece during ripping
operations. Always check table locks to make
su re any new fence is held secu rely(see page 18).
--Choose your cutting tool carefully. Many saw
accidents are caused by use of the wrong type
blade, dull, badly set, improperly sharpened cut-
ting tools, gum or resin adhering to the cutting
tools, and by blade misalignment with the saw
fence. Such conditions can cause the material to
stick, jam (stall the saw), throw or "kickback" the
workpiece at the operator.
-- To avoid cutting tool failure and thrown shrapnel
(broken pieces of blade), use only blades or other
cutting tools marked for operating speeds 3450
rpm or higher. Never use a cutting tool larger in
diameter than the diameter for which the saw was
designed.
--q-o avoid jamming of the blade, thrown work-
pieces, and damage to the blade collars, never
use a broken, warped, or unbalanced blade. Do
not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor wrenches to
"snug" it securely.
-- To avoid injury from accidental blade contact by
the workpiece or the operator do not perform
layout, assembly, or setup work on the table

while thecuttingtool is rotating.Therotating
tool could cut and throw anything hitting the
bladecausingthe saw to unexpectedlycome

WHENEVER THE SAW IS RUNNING
-- Always keep alert. Do not allow familiarity (gained
from frequent use of your saw) to cause a careless
mistake. Always remember that a careless fraction
of asecond is sufficient to inflict severe, permanent
injury.
If your saw makes an unfamiliar noise or if it
vibrates excessively, stop the operation immedi-
ately. Do not restart until the source has been
located and the problem corrected.
Do not cycle the motor switch "ON" and "OFF"
rapidly, as this might cause the sawblade to
loosen, tn the event this should ever occur, turn
the switch off, allow the sawblade to come to a
complete stop, and remove the switch key. To
avoid damage to the blade and flange, retighten
the arbor nut normally, not excessively.
-- Never perform any operation freehand. Injury can
occur from blade contact or thrown pieces when
the workpiece is torn from the hands. "Freehand"
means feeding the sawblade into a workpiece or
feeding the workpiece into the sawblade or other
cutting tool without using the fence or some other
proper device to prevent the workpiece from
twisting and binding on the cutting tool during the
cutting operation.
-- To avoid accidental blade contact, avoid awkward
hand positions where a sudden slip causes a hand
to move toward the sawblade or other cutting
tool. Do not place fingers or hand on the work-
piece or table that is in the path of the sawblade.
-- To avoid being pulled into the back of the blade
before you can let go or react, never reach in back
of, or around the cutting tool, with either hand to
hold down the workpiece or for any reason.
-- To avoid injury from unexpected starting, never
attempt to free a stalled sawblade without first
turning the saw "OFF" and removing the switch
key. If the sawblade is stalled or jammed, shut the
saw "OFF", remove the switch key, remove the
workpiece, check for looseness in clamps, arm
and carriage, check the sawblade squareness to
the table surface and to the fence, and check for
heel (see page 20). Adjust as indicated.
-- To avoid injury from falling parts or from falling
into the saw, never climb on or near the saw when
its power is "ON". Never leave the saw area when
power is "ON", or before the cutting tool has
come to a complete stop.
-- To avoid unauthorized saw use, remove the switch
key and put the key away before leaving the saw
area.
BEFORE STARTING A RIPPING TYPE CUT
To avoid injury from being struck by a thrown
workpiece, position the saw so neither you, a
helper, or a casual observer is forced to stand in
line with the sawblade or workpiece.
Whenever possible, use the "in-rip" position. (See
page 31.) This provides maximum clearance for
feeding by hand, push stick, or push block as
appropriate.
To avoid thrown workpieces or being pulled into
the saw before you can react, push the workpiece

fromthenoseside(oppositethesawdustexhaust

INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE
-- To keep the sawblade from rising up on top of the
workpiece and throwing it back at the operator,
when sawing 1/4" or thinner materials, follow all
normal ripping procedures except set sawblade
into the table top at least 1/8".
-- To avoid kickback, 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. If the workpiece cannot be made stable
against the fence and table top, do not cut it with a
radial arm saw.
-- To avoid blade contact and/or kickback, use a
push stick when ripping short (10 to 12 inches
long) or narrow (2 to 6-1/2 inches wide) work-
pieces. Usea push block as illustrated on page 30
for pieces 3/8 to 2 inches wide or, wherever
possible, place the wider section of the board
between the fence and the blade.
--To avoid kickbacks never feed a workpiece _-
through the saw with another piece (butting _"_---_.,...
second piece against trailing end of piece being --_ =
cut) even if of the same thickness, oo +-,
-- To keep control of your workpiece, never rip work --
shorter than the blade diameter.
-- For rip or rip-type cuts, the trailing end of the
workpiece to which a push stick or push board is
applied must be square (perpendicular to the
fence and table top) so that feed pressure applied
to the workpiece by the push stick or push block
will not cause the workpiece to come away from
the fence or rise from the table and possibly cause
a kickback.
--Plastic and composition (like particle board)
materials may be cut on your saw. However, since
these are often quite hard and slippery, the anti-
kickback pawls may not stop a kickback. To get
best performance, rip with the finished side down
(next to the table) and the roughest side up, and
be especially attentive to follow proper set up and
cutting procedures.
WHILE DOING A RIP TYPE OPERATION
-- Never reach around the blade to the outfeed side
to touch the portion of workpiece beyond the
blade until the whole workpiece has been pushed
beyond and clear of the blade. Your touch could
cause a kickback which could strike someone or
pull your hand into the rear (outfeed side) of the
blade before you can let go or react.
-- 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 or wide workpieces that extend beyond
the length or width of the saw table to prevent
workpiece from being thrown as it falls from the
table.
-- Never apply the feed force to the section of the
workpiece that will become the cutoff (free)
piece. Feed force when ripping must always be
applied between the sawblade and the fence so
that the slot cut by the blade (kerf) will not be
pinched shut on the blade causing a kickback.
Never touch the piece that has been cut off until
the blade has come to a complete stop.
--Keep pushing the section of the workp_ece
between the blade and the fence until the piece
has been pushed completely past the blade, so
the blade will not grab the piece and throw it back
at the operator.
BEFORE DOING A CROSSCUT TYPE CUT
--To avoid blade contact, do not perform any
operation that requires the cutting tool to extend
beyond the edges of the table used for supporting
the workpiece.
--To maximize protection from accidental blade
contact and reduce risk of jamming objects into
the guard, place guard in a horizontal position
and adjust anti-kickback pawls to just clear the
top of the fence or the workpiece, whichever is
higher. The anti-kickback pawl assembly will

provideadditionalguardingfromcontactwiththe
frontoftheblade.

INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE
--To avoid injury from thrown objects, slips or
jamming of the blade, make sure the workpiece
will fit the supports (fence, table, fixtures or jigs)
so it will not twist, rock or otherwise bind on the
cutting tool. Make sure there is no sawdust or
other foreign material between theworkpieceand
its support.
WHILE DOING A CROSSCUT TYPE CUT
--Always start with the carriage in the full rear
position behind the fence before turning the saw
on.
-- Never push the carriage and blade backwards
into the work to do a crosscutting type operation.
The cutting tool can throw the work over the
fence, striking someone or causing you to fall into
the blade.
--Always return the carriage to the full rearward
position behind the fence at the completion of
each crosscut type operation. 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.
BEFORE USING ACCESSORIES
To avoid injury from unanticipated hazards, use
only recommended accessories as listed on page
43.
The use of grinding wheels, abrasive or cut off
wheels, or wire wheels, can be dangerous and are
not recommended. Such devices can break ex-
plosively and throw shrapnel, causing severe
injury.
Thesawblade, dado, orothercutting tool must be
removed from the saw arbor before using the
accessory shaft. Never operate the saw with
cutting tools (including sanding accessories or
buffing) installed on both ends of the sawarborto
avoid being pulled into moving parts by hair,
threads, clothing, etc. Make sure the unused
arbor is always covered by a guard, the arm, or the
screw cap.
Using a drill chuck. To avoid injury from sudden
bending or breaking of a drill bit, do not install or
use twist drills longer than 7" in length or extend-
ing more than 6" beyond the chuck jaws. Do not
install or use any reduced shank drill except the
spade type (!" diameter or smaller). Use for
drilling wood or plastic only - bit speed cannot be
properly adjusted for other materials. Do not use
twist drills larger than 1/2" in diameter.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
CAUTION: TO AVOID MOTOR DAMAGE THIS
MOTOR SHOULD BE BLOWN OUTOR VACUUMED
FREQUENTLY TO PREVENT SAWDUST BUILD-
UP WHICH WILL INTERFERE WITH NORMAL
MOTOR VENTILATION.
1. This tool should be connected toa 120V, 15Amp
branch circuit with a 15 Amp time delay fuse or
circuit breaker. Failure to use the proper size
fuse can result in damage to the motor.
2. If the motor fails to start, turn the power switch to
the "OFF" position immediately. UNPLUG THE
TOOL. Check the saw blade to insure that it turns
freely and that its teeth are not wedged into the
table top. After the blade has been freed, try to
start the motor again. If, at this point, the motor
still fails to start, refer to the "Motor Trouble-
Shooting Chart."
3. If the motor should suddenly stall while cutting
wood, the power switch should be turned off, the
tool unplugged and the blade freed from the
wood. The motor may now be restarted and the
cut finished.
4. Frequent "blowing" of fu£e£ or tripping of circuit
breakers may result if:
(a) MOTOR IS OVERLOADED - Overloading can
occur if you feed too rapidly or if saw is
misaligned so that the blade heels (pg. 19,20).
(b) MOTOR CIRCUIT tS FUSED DIFFERENTLY
FROM RECOMMENDATIONS - Always follow
instructions for the proper fuse/breaker. Do
not use a fuse/breaker of greater capacity
without consulting a qualified electrician.
(c) LOW VOLTAGE - Although the motor is
designed for operation on the voltage and
frequency specified on motor nameplate,
normal loads will be handled safely on vol-
tages 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.
5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overloading, reduced
input voltage (such as small size wire in the
supply circuit) or to overly long supply circuit
wire. Always check the connections, the load
and the supply circuit whenever motor fails to
perform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and
length with the Wire Size Chart below.
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.
CAUTION: For circuits that are farther away from
electrical service box, 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 and safety, 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 accuracy
of the preceeding adjustment.
Be sure to align the saw in the exact sequence
described to insure proper alignment and cutting
accuracy.
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
Adjusting Column Tube in Column Support
1. Elevate and then lower the arm.
(a) If the column binds and elevation is difficult,
loosen the four (4) bolts, with 9/16 socket and
extention, located through the holes in the
rear column support cover until movement is
smooth but firm.
(b) If column moves front to rear within the
column support, tighten the four (4) bolts,
with a 9/16 socket and extension, located
through holes in rear column support cover
until movement disappears. Elevation should
be smooth and firm. Recheck adjustments,
repeat steps (a) and (b) if necessary.
2. Locate the four (4) plastic hole caps in loose
parts bag #497. After all adjustments are made to
the column support insert the plastic caps in all
four holes in rear column support cover.

STEP TWO
NOTE: The following adjustment, performed pro-
perly, will result in the work table being flat and
parallel to the arm. This helps insure the blade will
cut the same depth along the entire crosscut travel.
LEVELING FRONT WORK TABLE
1. Loosen the three (3) leveling screws located in
the center of the table with a 1/8" hex 'L' wrench.
2. Check the five (5) mounting screws to make sure
they are snug. Do not over tighten.
3. Push the bevel lock handle to the right to release
the motor. Index the motor with the saw blade
end of the motor shaft down and lock bevel lock
handle to the left.
4. Slide the carriage so the motor shaft is in the
center of front table board.
5. Unlock the miter lock handle in the unindex
position as shown, and position the arm to the
left.

6. Lay the arbor wrench on the work table under the
motor shaft. Carefully lower the arm with the
elevation handle until the motor shaft is just
touching the arbor wrench. The wrench should
slide back and forth with only slight contact with
motor shaft.
NOTE: When moving the arm from the left side to the
right it is necessary to move the motor along the arm
to check the front table at several points from front to
back.
7. Starting from the left side of the front table board,
move the Radial Arm to the right checking
the table with the arbor wrench to determine the
lowest spot in the table. Once the lowest spot in
the table is determined, you can begin to level the
table.
NOTE: For safety reasons, stops have been provided
to prevent 360° rotation of the radial arm.
8. Position the arm over the lowest spot in the table
and repeat Step 6.

9. Tighten the mounting screws located at the high
spots in the table with a Phillips screwdriver.
Then recheck the entire table. Make sure center
leveling hex screws are loose.
NOTE: Do not change this elevation setting until the
entire work table has been adjusted.
10. Lay the rear table board on edge across the front
table to serve as astraightedge to determine
whether the front table board is high or low at its
center.
11. If the front table is high at center, first tighten the
center hold down screw until table is level - then
tighten the three (3) leveling screws until those
screws are tight. If table is low at center, first
loosen the center holddown screw, then tighten
the three (3) leveling screws until table is level.
Retighten the center holddown screw. Recheck
table to make sure it is level.
12. Position the rip (guide) fence, spacer board and
rear table board behind the front table board, and
push front table lock handles down as shown.
13. Return motor to vertical position.

Adjusting tront table lock handles
WARNING: TO AVOID SUDDEN SLIPPAGE,
BREAKAGE, OR THROWING OF PARTS, FRONT
TABLE BOARD LOCK HANDLE MUST LOCK
TABLE BOARDS AND RIP FENCE SECURELY IN
PLACE.
1. To adjust the table board clamps check by
pulling up on rip fence. There should be enough
pressure to keep the rip fence from pulling up. To
adjust the pressure on the clamp:
a. Lift front table lock handles up to release
pressure on boards.
b. Loosen the two eccentric spacer clamps
located at the rear of the table top with a
7/16" wrench or socket.
c. Rotate the spacer toward the rear table board.
Tighten spacer with 7/16" wrench or socket.
Repeat procedure for clamp on other side.
d. Push down on front lock handles and recheck
pressure by pulling up on rip fence. If rip fence
is too loose, repeat adjustment.
/

STEP THREE
Squaring Crosscut Travel
NOTE: This adjustment helps ensure the blade
accurately travels square to the rip fence.
1. Index arm at 0 ° miter and lock.
2. Install saw blade as shown. Motor shaft has left
handed threads - turn nut counterclockwise to
tighten.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use arbor
wrench to "snug" nut in place. Overtightening could
distort the blade collars and cause blade to wobble.
3. Lower arm until saw blade just clears the front
table. Be sure the miter lock handle and the bevel
lock handle are locked.

4. Place a framing square on the table as shown and
position the blade and square until the leg of the
square just contacts a tooth of the blade. Mark
this tooth with a pencil.
NOTE: The framing (or combination) square must
be "true" - see start of "Assembly and Alignment"
section on page 10 for checking method.
5. When the carriage is moved back and forth on
the arm, the marked tooth should just touch the
square at all points. If marked tooth moves into
square or away from square the following adjust-
ments are required.
(a) Loosen the four (4) 1/4-20 socket set screws
on both sides of the front column support (2
on each side) with a 1/8" Hex "L" wrench as
illustrated on next page.
(b) Move the arm in the proper direction to make
marked tooth follow edge of square when the
saw blade is moved along arm in a "crosscut"
manner.
_,,. BEVEL LOCK
_""--. HANDLE _ \

(c) Carefully retighten upper two (2) 1/4-20 socket
set screws alternating from left side to right
side so as not to force arm out of adjustment,
(d)
(e)
Recheck blade travel. Adjust arm position as
needed by readjusting upper screws only.
Once arm position is good, tighten lower 1/4-
20 socket set screws. Do not overtighten.
Check elevating handwheel for ease of rota-
tion. If rotating handwheel is difficult, re-
adjust socket set screw tightness as needed.
NOTE: The life of your saw table will be lengthened
considerably if you will cover the front table with a
fitted piece of 1/4 inch plywood. This should be
tacked in place for easy replacement. Use of such a
cover will allow you to do all cutting into the cover,
rather than your table top. This will help prevent
dulling of the saw blade and striking table mounting
hardware. Place tacks out of the path of the saw
blade.

NOTE: If alignment procedure step two was not
performed, this adjustment cannot be accomplished.
1. Place a framing square on the table with the short
leg against the saw blade. Do not allow the
square to rest against a "set-out" tooth; it must
rest flat against the blade side.
2 If the square does not touch the saw blade as
shown (with square held firm against table top)
the following adjustments are required.

STEP FIVE
Squaring Blade to Rip Fence
NOTE: If alignment procedure steps three and four
were not performed, this adjustment step cannot be
accomplished. This adjustment helps avoid binding
(kickbacks) or splintering of wood surface, or burn-
ing of the kerf.
1. Position carriage as shown and tighten rip lock
handle. Place a framing square against the rip
fence and the saw blade, as shown. The long leg
of the square must be held firmly against both the
fence and the table top, and the short leg must
not touch any of the "out-set" teeth on the saw
blade. Check at several points of blade rotation.
2. If the square does not touch the blade at both of
the two points as shown, a heel condition exists.
3. To correct "heel" condition, proceed as follows:
(a) Unlock swivel lock handle.
