: .. . you -can easily set up your DeWalt Radial Saw, America's most popular power tool. Handling is minimized because every machine is assembled and
job-tested at-the factory, then partially knocked down for shipment to you. The only tools required are the wrenches furnished with the machine and
screwdrivers from your tool box.
So that your new Radial Saw may be placed in operation just as soon as assembled, all electrical connections have been made at the factory to operate on
120 V single phase power supply.

or other qualified serrice organizations. Should you be
determined to make a repair l ounelf . remember that the
green colored wire is the "grounding" *ire. Never connect
this green wire to a "live" terminal.
l. Cord-Connected Tools: In the erent of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding proi'ides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped *ith an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conduclor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plug-eed into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug pro-
vided - if it will not iii ihe ou:let. have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified eie;::i;ian. Improper connection of
the equipment-grouniing coilciuctortan result in a risk of
electric shock. The con,ju;:or *ith insulation having an
outer surface thai is *sreen *iih or without yellou stripes is
the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or repiace-
ment of the eieclric cord or plug is necessar)'. do not con-

RULES FOR SAFER OPERATION
OF STATIONARY POWER TOOLS
l. XEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING XEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of
checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from
tool before turning it on.
3. XEEP WORX AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
accidents.
4. IX)N"T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power
tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work
area well lighted.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All vistors should be k@t a safe
distance from work area.
6. MAXE WORXSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches,
or by removing starter keys.
7. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed.
9. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in moving parts.
Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to
contain loirg hair.
10. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if
cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
ll. SECURE WORX. Use clamps or vise to hold work when practical.
It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate
tool.
12. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
13. MAINTAIN TOOLS WTIH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for
best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
14. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing acccssories
such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
15. REDUCE THE RISX OF UNINTENTIONAI STARTING. Make
sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
16. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's
manual for recommended accessories. The usc of imprope.r ac-
cessories may cause risk of injury to persons. Use of blades with
knock out inserts at the arbor hole may cause injury.
17. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is
tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
18. CHEICK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function-check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced.
19. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the
direction ofrotation ofthe blade or cutter only.
2O.NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAITENDED. TURN
POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
21. ONE OPERATOR ONLY. The same person who pulls the saw
should position the work.
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION
l. DO-Protect line with at least a l5 ampere time delay fuse.
2. DO-Be sure blade rotates clockwise when facing arbor.
3. DO-Be sure all clamp handles and thumb screws are tight before
starting any operation. Push handles back to tighten. Pull to loosen.
4. DO-Be sure blade and arbor collars are clean and recessed side of
collars are against blade. Tighten arbor nut securely, using both
wrenches provided. See Rule 16.
5. DO-Keep saw blade sharp and properly set.
6. DO-Use anti-kickback attachment on guard,
7. DO-Keep arm tracks and bearing surfaces clean and dry. Periodic
cleaning with dry cleaner is recommended.
8, DO-Periodically rocheck alignment.
9. DO-Remove blade but not arbor collars and nut when using rear
shaft. Tighten nut securely.
10. DO-Keep motor air slots clean and free of chips.
ll. DO-Remove switch key and store in a safe place to prevent
unauthorized operation.
12. DO-Use lower guard at all times.
13. DO-Retum carriage to full rear after each operation. A return reel is
available.
l. DON'T-Attempt to operate on anything but designated voltage.
2. DON'T-Operate unless all clamp handles are tight.
3. DON'T-Use blades of larger diameter than recommended.
4. DON'T-Remove anti-kickback from guard. Adjust it to just clear
the workpiece when crosscutting.
5. DON'T-Rip from wrong direction-observe caution tag on guard.
6. DON'T-OiI or grease arm tracks or motor.
7. DON'T-Wedge anything against fan to hold motor shaft.
8. DON'T-Subject table top to variable humidity conditions (keep
away from dampness.)
9. DON'T-Force cutting action. Stalling or partial stalling of motor
can cause major damage to motor winding.
10. DON'T-Remove saw blade guard when boring.
ll. DON'T-Remove arbor collars and nut when using rear shaft.
Tighten nut securely.
12. DON'T-Remove ground prong from plug. Never operate saw unless
it is properly grounded.
13. DON'T-Remove small scraps from table with fingers.
The lower bhde guard covers thc side of the teeth when the blade is
behind the fence. READ THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS.
CAUTIONS TO FOLLOW WHEN USING LOWER
GUARD:
l. The lower blade guard will provide additional protection from
contact with the side of the blade-BuT NoT FROM CoNTACT
WITH THEFRONTORREAR OFTHE BLADE,
When the lower guard touches the fence or material being cut, it will
rise up over the material-thus exposing the blade teeth. Be careful,
keep your hands out of the line of cut!
2. Lower blade guards may become caught in prior kerfs in the fence or
table. Replace guide fence frequently.
3. Short cut-off pieces of wood may become caught between the lower
guard and the blade. If this happens shut off power; wait until blade
stops before removal of piece.
4. The lower blade guards effectiveness is limited in bevel operations. It
may have to be raised out of the way when setting bevel angle to pre-
vent bending. BE SURE THAT POWER IS OFF AND BLADE IS
COMPLETELY STOPPED BEFORE MAKING AT.IY ADJUST-
MENT.
5. Catching the lower guard in saw kerfs when changing the saw set-up
can bc avoided by elevating the saw until the bottom of the guard
clears the fence.
6. When ripping narrow strips, the lower guard may have to be raised to
rest on top of the fence. Be sure to use a pusher stick to feed the work.
7. Do not use the lower guard with any accessory other thart the correct
size saw blade.
8. To summarize, when in doubt about whether to use the lower guard
and when practical, make a "dry run" with power off to determine if
it is a help or hindrance.
MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Your Sa\y Motor is equipped with a manual-reset type overload protector.
If the protector 'rtrips" and stops the motor, take the following steps:
l. Press the saw "OFF" switch button and allow the motor to cool.
2. After motor has cooled, the overload protector may be reset by firmly
pressing the red reset button. If you do not hear an audible..click",
the motor must be allowed to cool further before attempting the
reset,
3. After the reset is accomplished, the saw may be started by pushing the
"ON" button.

RADIAL-ARM MACHINE CONTROLS. The versatility of the radial-arm machine
is due, in part, to its controls, and these are the keys to its successful operation'
Learn to use them by adjusting the machine for all operations before actually
starting to operate it. All controls, as well as the major parts of the radial-arm

plished by the cam acrion of the clamp priting the clamp p"t ,!'"irrt the dial plate.
'Io adjust:
Loosen set screw (A), tighten clamp bolt (B), then retighten set screw.

ADJUSTING ROLLERHEAD BEARINGS TO ARM TRACKS
The rollerhead is suspended by four special tolerancc, grcased-packed, double
shield ball bearings. These bearings are mounted on two straight bearing shafts
and two eccentric bearing shafts. In proper adlustment thc top and bottom radii
of all four bearings should be in contact with the arm tracks for their entire
length and head should roll freely but with some resistance. Excessive bcaring
pressure will cause diflicult operation and rapid wear. Too little pressure will cause
loss of accuracy and the saw will try to feed itsclf into the material bein-e crosscut.
Proper adjustment will require a force of 4 to 6 pounds to move the rollerhead
along the arm at a constant speed. The front and rear bearings should bc adjusted
to contribute equally to this force. l.IoTE: the end cap was removed for clarity and
it need not be removed for this adjustment.
(a) Wipe tracks with a clean dry lint-free cloth.
(b) Bring motor, yoke, and rollerhead assemblies to the end of arm.
(c) Set in "out rip" position.
(d) Loosen hex nuts on left side, front and rear.
(e) Insert Vs" Allen wrench in recess at bottom of shafts and turn bearing
shaft until the bearing is snugly aqainst the track. Repeat for the second
bearing. Check the force required to move the rollelhead. Rcadjust as
required.
(f) Tighten the hex lock nuts while holding each bcaring shaft in its adjusted
position.
ARM TO COLUMN
Prior to readjusting the arm clamp cam check
adjustment of the arm to column. With the arm
clamp released there should be no vertical plav

ADJUSTING CROSS.CUT TRAYEL PARALLEL TO ARM TRACKS
(HEEL ADJUSTMENT)
Both the leading and trailing teeth of the sarv blade should travel in the same
plane parallel to the arm tracks. To check, place a board 4,, x 1,, or larger
against the right side of the guide fence. with the machine in 0o cross-cut posi-
tion and all locks and latches engaged, end trim this stock by allowing only the
front teeth of the blade to clear the stock and the rear teeth remaining in the cut.
Now remove the stock by slidirig to the right before returning the cutting head
to the back of the arm. Examine the cut edge of the stock. If blade marks of
the rear teeth are prominent on the cut stock the rear teeth are not exactly
following the front teeth and adiustment is necessary. (The arcs of the rear
teeth start at the bottom front of the stock and travel up and back.) Repeat this
same operation with the stock against the left side of the guide fence.
To odiust when morks ore on slock cut on righi side:
(a) Disengage bevel clamp handle. Do not pull
bevel pin.
(b) Loosen right and left lock nuts at rear of yoke
(c) Loosen right set screw about 1./6 turn and
tighten left set screw.
(d) Retighten lock nuts and bevel clamp handle.
(e) Recheck as above by cutting.
To odiust when morks qre on siock cut on left side:
(a) Disengage bevel clamp handle, Do not pull
bevel pin.
(b) Loosen right and left lock nuts.
(c) Loosen left set scre*- about 1 6 turn and
tighten right set scre\\-.
(d) Retighten lock nuts and berel clamp handle.
(e) Recheck as above by curting.
After left and right adjustments have been made, tilt
the motor to 45" bevel cross-cut position and again
make cuts on 2" x 4" stock as r.,as done in cross-cut
position. if tooth marks again appear the motor is too
high or lorv in the rear of the yoke.
To odiust when mqrks oppeor on bofiom side of
cut (left.hond piece of siock):
(a) Disengage bevel clamp handle. Do not pull
bevel pin.
(b) Loosen all lock nuts.
(c) Loosen by equal amounts right and left set
screws about l/6 twn and tighten bottom

.*RIP SCALE PO]NTER
The rip scale is located on the right side of the radial arm. when the motor is
positioned with motor arbor to*'ard the column it is called ,,in rip', position,
and material should be fed from right to left. when the motor arbor is posi_
tioned toward the operator it is called "out rip" and material is fed from lelt to
right. when "in ripping" width dimensions are located on the top of the scale
and when "out ripping" on the bortom of the scale by use of the reference
pointers. The pointers are adjusrable and must be readjusted only when 3auge
(thickness) of blade is changed.
To adjust:
To set the "in rip and "out rip" pointers, first set the saw in an,,out rip', posi-
tion and then set rhe sa*' blade at a predetermined distance from the fence.
After you ha'e done rhis loosen the two screws holding the pointer. Adjust the
"out rip" pointer equal to the! distance between the sau.blade and the fence,
and tighten the screu's. Then turn the saw to an "in rip" position and push the
blade against the fence. Adjust the "in rip" pointer ro zero (C) on the scale.

CUTTING KERF A,IARKS
OpuoNer: Prior to cutting kerf marks you may elect to place
a protective material over your table top. This material can
easily be replaced as required without disturbing the saws
alignment. Cut a piece of V+" plywood the same size as the
front board and secure it to the front board with countersink
3/q" brads. Do not nail where the saw kerfs will be located.
It is not necessary to cover the spacer or back boards.
After all your adjustments are made you should now cut into
the table top the most common kerf marks. This will allorv
you to move the saw into different positions u'ithout chang-
ing the elevation. To do so proceed as follows:
(a) Locate and lock the arm 90" to the fence. Locate
the blade 90" to the table.
(b) Draw the saw out to about the middle of the track
and lower the blade until it just grazes the ply top.
(c) Turn the saw on and push the roller head all the wav
back. This will cut the fence and lightly score thc
Plv top.
(d) Lower the arm (saw still running) 1/4 turn. Pull thc
saw forward to the end of the arm with your lelt
hand. This will cut a groove in the table top 7 i32"
deep. Tighten Rip Lock. (Refer to figure l)
With the saw stilI running and your left hand still on
the handle release the yoke lock with your right hancl
and pull it with suflicient strength so the yoke clamp
handle presses against the yoke locator pin bell pull-
ing the yoke locatcr pin out cf the hole in the roller
head. You can now rotate the saw blade in a clock-
wise direction. Release the pressure on the bell ancl
continue rotating the blade until the spring rnounted
yoke locator pin falls into the next hole. You have
now cut in the table top a t/4 turn groove known as
the swing line. The saw is now in the "in-rip" posi-
tion. (Refer to figure 2) Loosen Rip Lock.
Once the 1/1r turn cut is complete lock the yoke lock
wirh your right hand and with the blade still revolv-
ing push the yoke back on the track until the bladc
reaches the fence. This will cut the rip through iu
the center of the table. Stop Motor. (Refer to fig. 3)
Return sa\\' to position shown in figure 1. Lock Rip
Lock and start motor. Using the 1'oke clamp handle,
release the pressure on the bell and rotate sau'
counterclockwise, to the outrip position. This cuts
the swing line for outripping. Loosen rip lock.
(h) Lock the yoke lock (clamp handle) , and g'ith 1'our
right hand and blade still revoh'ing. push the sau'
back until the new trough matches the trough cut
in (f) Stop Motor.
Return saw to position shown in figure 1 and move to
the rear position behind the fence.
Lock Rip Lock and start mOtor. With motor running
release the miter handle with your right hand and
move arm to the 45" right hand miter position. This
will cut a trough for mitering. (Optional step)
Repeat above for 45" left hand miter. Stop Motor.

WARNING
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ INSTRUCTION
MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING SAW
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Keep hands out of path of saw blade.
3. Return carriage to full rear position after each crosscut type of
operation.
4. Know how to reduce risk of kickback.
5. Use pusher board for narrow work.
6. Do not perform any operation freehand.
7. Never reach around moving saw blade.
8. Shut off power before clearing a stall or jam.
9. Make no adjustments until tool has stopped.
Drmension."A" must be such that the workprece rs led comoletelv

The pusher_board should be pre-kerfed prror to use, for every
new width of rip a new or re-woiked pushei board mjsi be used.'
Do not rrp workpieces shorter than 12, in length.
Use.common sense, think all operations through before startirg,
and be alert.
Review the "Rules For Saler Operation of Stationary power
Tools" and "Maintenance and Operation,, sections. (See index) -
llg"p r:* in. good adjustment and alignment; use only sharp,
tree-cutting tools and accessories thaf were designed ior youi
machine. These precautions will help reduce the-possibiliiy of
jam-ups or kickbacks.
Never perlorm any operation ,,free hand" (i.e. supporting the
workpiece by hand alone). The workpiece must always Ue s-otiOty
supported or guided by the fence or supporting lig br tixture t6
prevent any unexpected movement.
ll the sawblade or cutter becomes stalled or lower guard
becomes jammed - Turn ofl power immediately. Never attefipt to
free a jam up without first turning power off. Remove workpiece
and re-check machine alignment. Adjust as necessary.
PAI{GER Coasting cutting tools can be dangerous _ apply the
oraKe tmmec,tately on manual hraking units to stop the tool as
soon as the switch is turned otf.
I_1! ]olgrq developed during manual or automatic braking may
loosen the blade retaining nut, therefore the arbor nut stroJtO U6
checked periodically and tightened if necessary.
Never cycle the tool "on" and ,,off ,' rapidly, as forces can be pro_
duced which will loosen the arbor nut.
lf the arbor nut should ever loosen, allow the blade to come to a
complete.stop and re-tighten the arbor nut securely, but not
excessively, using both wrenches provided.
Read through and study the pictorial operating instructions which
follow lor further instructions before usingf your new DeWalt
powershop.
Kickbacks can occur when the workpiece binds between the saw
blade and the lence during a ripping type operation. Such action
could cause the workpiece to be ejected from the machine and
thrown violently back towards the operator.
Never stand, or permit someone else to stand in line with the
work being ripped due to possible kickbacks.
The anti-kickback fingers must be kept sharp, free moving and
correctly adjusted to insure proper operation.
Use extra care when ripping material that is twisted or bowed
which can rock on the saw table and cause pinching or binding.
Place the wood on the table in such a manner as-to minimizi
rocking.
A pusher board should be used when ripping narrow work (i.e.
less than 3 inches or so between tne UUOe anO tence). ihe
pusher board should be made from clear, straight grained lumber
as shown below.
It is easier to change the saw set-up and will prevent lower guard
catching if work table is higher than rear tablie. l/4, plywool and
brads may be used.
