additional safety instructions for radial saws
CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cord before
removing the guard, changing the cutting tool, changing
the set-up or making adjustments. Shut off motor before
performing layout work on the saw table.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT POWER CORD UNTIL
THE FOLLOWING STEPS HAVE BEEN SATISFACTORILY
COMPLETED:
I. Assembly and alignment.
II. Examination and operating familiarity with ON-OFF
switch, elevation control, yoke index and lock, bevel
index and lock, carriage lock, guard clamp screw,
spreader and antikickback device, and miter index
and lock.
III. Review and understanding of all Safety Instructions
and Operating Procedures thru-out manual.
INSTALLATION
1. Set carriage lock before moving the saw.
2. Bolt the saw to the floor if it tends to slip. walk, or slide
during normal operation.
3. Mount the saw so the table is approximately 39"
above the floor.
4. Mount the saw so that arm slopes slightly downward
to the rear so the carrige will not roll forward due to
gravity.
5. If you attach any kind of table extensions over 24"
wide to either end of the saw, make sure you either
bolt the saw to the bench or floor as appropriate, or
support the outer end of the extension from the bench
or floor, as appropriate.
MINIMIZE ACCIDENT POTENTIAL
Most accidents are caused by FAILURE TO FOLLOW
setup and operating instructions:
(A) GENERAL
--Avoid awkward hand positions, where a sudden
slip could cause a hand to move intoa sawbladeor
other cutting tool. Never reach in back of or
around the cutting tool with either hand to hold
down the workpiece, or for any other reason; DO
NOT place fingers or hands in the path of the
sawblade.
-- Never saw, dado, mold, or rabbet unless the proper
•guard (complete with all its parts)is installed and
set up as instructed.
- NOTE THE FOLLOWING DANGER LABELS

tF YOUR SAW MAKES AN UNFAMILIAR NOISE
OR IF IT VIBRATES EXCESSIVELY CEASE
OPERATING IMMEDIATELY UNTIL THE
SOURCE HAS BEEN LOCATED AND THE
PROBLEM CORRECTED
-- WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY
(GAINED FROM FREQUENT USE OF YOUR
SAW) TO BECOME COMMONPLACE. ALWAYS
REMEMBER THAT A CARELESS FRACTION OF
A SECOND IS SUFFICIENT TO INFLICT SEVERE
INJURY.
-- Before starting work, verify that no play exists
between the column & column support, or in the
carriage, and that arm. yoke. and bevel
locks!clamps are tight.
-- A large proportion of saw accidents is caused by
use of the wrong type blade, dull, badly set,
improperly sharpened cutting tools, by gum or
resin adhering to cutting tools, and by sawblade
misalignment out of parallel with the fence. Such
conditions can cause the material to stick, jam
(stall the saw) or "KICKBACK" at the operator.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A STALLED SAW
BLADE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING THE SAW
"OFF". tf the sawblade is stalled or jammed, shut
saw "OFF", remove workpiece, and check
sawblade squareness to table surface and to the
fence, and check for heel. Adjust as indicated.
-- CAUTION: DO NOT cycle the motor switch "ON"
and "OFF" rapidly, as this might cause the
sawblade to loosen. In the event this should ever
occur, allow the saw blade to come to a complete
stop and re-tighten the arbor nut normally, not
excessively.
-- Do not leave a long board unsupported so the
spring of the board causes it to shift on the table
Provide proper support for the workpiece, base. 4
on its size and the type of operation to be
performed. Hold the work firmly against the fence.
-- Never use a length stop on the free end or edge of
the workpiece whether crosscutting or ripping.
Never hang onto or touch the free-end of
workpiece when crosscutting, or a free piece that
is cut off while power is "ON" and/or the sawblade
is rotating. In short, the cut-off piece in any
"thru-sawing" operation must never be confined
-- it must be allowed to move laterally.
--Make sure your fingers do not contact the
terminals when installing or-removing the plug to
or from a live power source.
-- Never climb on the saw, or climb near the saw
when power is "ON". Never leave the saw with
power "ON", or before the cutting tool has come to
a complete stop. Lock the motor switch and put
away the key when leaving the saw.
-- Do not use any blade or other cutting tool marked
for an operating speed lower than 3450 RPM
Never use a cutting tool larger in diameter than the
diameter for which the saw was designed. For
greatest safety and efficiency when ripping, use
the maximum diameter blade for which the saw is
designed, since under these conditions the
spreader is nearest the blade.
-- Never turn your saw "ON" before clearing the table
or work surface of all objects (tools, scraps of
wood, etc.) except the workpiece and related feed
or support devices for the operation planned.
-- Do not perform layout, assembly, or setup work on
the table while the cutting tool is rotating

additional safety instructions for radial saws
Never perform any operation "FREE HAND". This heel or by feeding from the wrong direction (see
term means feeding the sawblade into the
wor-kpiece or feeding the workpiece into the
sawblade or other cutting without using the fence
or some other device which prevents rotating or
twisting of the workpiece during the operation.
Never "RIP" in the crosscut position. Never make a
miter cut with the arm in the 90 ° crosscut position.
Never lower a revolving cutting tool into the table
or a workpiece without first locking the Carriage
Lock Knob. Release the knob only after grasping
the Yoke Handle. Otherwise the cutting tool may
grab the table or the workpiece and be propelled
toward you.
The sawblade, dado, or other cutting too! must be
removed from the saw arbor before using the
accessory shaft (rear end of the saw motor).
NEVER operate the saw with cutting tools
(including sanding accessories) installed on both
end of the saw arbor.
Do not use fences made of chipboard -- use 3/4 in.
virgin lumber only, extending in one piece from
end to end of the saw table. The fence should
extend above-the table surface approx, two-thirds
the thickness of the workpiece (for a 1-1/2" thick
workpiece, the fence should be 1 in. high), but
never less than 3/4 in. If a thin facing is added to
the top of the table (to preserve the original table),
fabricate and install a new fence complying with
above height instructions.
(B) RIPPING
Ripping is cutting with the grain or the long way of the
board -- it is performed by pushing the workpiece
along the fence and thru the sawblade (sawblade
parallel to the fence).
1. Neyer apply the feed force to the section of the
workpiece that will become the cut-off (free)
piece. Feed force when ripping must always be
applied between the saw blade and the
fence .. use a "PUSH STICK" or "WORK
HELPERS" (see pg. 26) for rip cuts less than 6 in.
wide. Do not rip anyworkpiece that is shorter than
12 in.
2. Whenever possible, use the in-rip position -- this
provides minimum obstruction for feeding by
hand or push stick as appropriate.
3. Do not release the workpiece before operation is
complete -- push the workpiece all the way past
the rear (outfeed or exit) of the sawblade.
4. Make sure by trial before starting the cut that the
antikickback pawls will stop a kickback once it has
started Keep points of pawls SHARP!
5. CAUTION: Never reposition the Guard or
antikickback with power "ON".
6. A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type
operation when apart or all of the workpiece is
thrown back violently toward the operator. It can
occur when the workpiece closes in on the rear
(outfeed side) of the sawblade (pinching), binds
betweon the fence and the sawblade (heel), or is
grabbed by the sawblade teeth (wrong-way feed)
at the outfeed side. "PINCHING" is generally
avoided by utilization of the spreader, and a sharp
sawblade of the correct type for the workpiece
being cut. "HEEL" can be avoided by maintaining
the sawblade exactly parallel to the fence.
Grabbing by the sawblade teeth can be caused by
"DANGER" warning on guard) --it can be avoided
by maintaining parallelism of sawblade to fence,
feeding into the sawblade from the nose of the
guard only, by positioning the spreader and
antikickback properly, and keeping the workpiece
down on the table and against the fence.
7. Position the nose of the guard to just clear the
workpiece, and position/adjust the antikickback
and spreader devices as instructed.
8. NEVER cut more than one piece at any time by
stacking workpieces vertically.
9. NEVER feed a workpiecethru the saw with another
piece (butting second piece against trailing edge
of piece being cut), even if of the same thickness.
Feed each workpiece individually thru the
sawblade, and completely beyond the sawblade,
before ripping the next workpiece. Use push stick
if the rip cut is less than 6" wide.
10. NEVER feed a workpiece thru the saw with
another piece (butting second piece against
trailing edge of piece being cut), even if of the
same thickness. Feed each workpiece
individually thru the sawblade, and completely
beyond the sawblade, before ripping the next
workpiece. Use push stick if the rip cut is less than
6" wide.
11. NEVER use another person as a substitute for a
table extension, or as additional support for a
workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic
saw table, or to assist in feeding or supporting or
pulling the workpiece.
12. Plastic and composition (like hardboard)
materials may be cut on our saw. However, since
these are usually quite hard and slippery, the
antikickback pawls may not stop a kickback.
Therefore, rip with the finished side down (next to
the table) and be especially attentive to following
proper set-up and cutting procedures. Do not
stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line with a
potential kickback.
13. When sawing 1/4" or thinner materials, follow all
normal ripping procedures except set sawblade
into table top at least 1/8". DO NOT let go of or
stop feeding the workpiece between the blade and
fence until you have pushed it completely past the
antikickback pawls. Otherwise the workpiece
could get into the back of the sawblade and be
thrown violently from the saw in the direction
opposite to the feed direction. This is the same
action that would occur if the instructions of the
DANGER warning on the guard is aborted. Do not
stand, or permit anyone else to stand, in line with
the path of a workpiece that may be thrown from
the saw in this manner.
14. Position the saw so neither you, a helper, or a
casual observer is forced to stand in line with the
sawblade.
15. 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.
16. Shaping of wood with a dado head or a molding
head can be performed "top-side" (cutting tool
basically vertical and employing sawblade guard)
or "edge" (saw arbor vertical -- cutting tool
horizontal -- and employing the Accessory
molding head guard).

Ploughing
(Grooving with the grain)
Top side rabbeting
Top side molding
(shaping)...
resawing, gaining, coving with the grain are
examples of rip-type cuts. The same basic setup
procedures including rotation of the guard and
adjusting and positioning of the AKB/Spreader
device as for in-rip or out-rip cutting, apply.
However, since none of these operations involve
thru-sawing (sawing through the workpiece),
there is no kerf. Therefore the spreader and AKB
pawls can only be lowered to a position where the
spreader just clears the workpiece.
CAUTION: The AKB/Spreader device will not stop
a kickback in this position, but will act as a
holddown and as a guard of the out-feed side of
the sawblade.
For rip or rip-type cuts, the following end of a
workpiece to which a push stock or push board is
applied must be square (perpendicular to the
fence) in order that feed pressure applied to the
workpiece by the push stick or block does not
cause the workpiece to come away from the fence,
and possibly cause a kickback.
During rip and rip type cuts, the workpiece must be
held down on the table and against the fence with a
push stick, push block, or featherboards. A
featherboard is made of solid lumber per sketch.

(C) CROSSCUTTING
1 ALWAYS RETURN THE CARRIAGE TO THE
FULL REARWARD POSITION AT CONCLUSION
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.
2 Place guard in horizontal position and adjust
antikickback pawls to just clear the top of the fence
or workpiece, whichever is higher. This provides
additional guarding.
3. NEVER gang crosscut -- lining up more than one
workpiece in front of the fence -- stacked
vertically, or horizontally outward on the table --
and then pulling saw thru: the blade could pick up
one or more pieces and cause a binding or loss of
control and possible injury.
4. Do not position the Arm so the operation you are
performing permits the cutting tool to extend
beyond the edges of the Table.
5. Top-side dadoing or molding across the grain are
examples of crosscut-type cuts. The same basic
procedures including positioning of the
AKB/Spreader device as for crosscutting apply.
(D) ACCESSORIES
1. Use only recommended accessories as listed on
page 34. Follow instructions supplied with the
accessory.
2. Never operate this saw when equipped with a
rotary planer or dado head or molding head unless
the molding head guard is installed-- see listing of
recommended accessories. The only exception is
when "top-side" dadoing or molding, when the
sawblade guard must be used. See detailed
instructions that accompany the rotary planer,
dado head, molding head, and molding head
guard.
3. The use of grinding wheels, abrasive or cut-off
wheels, or wire wheels, can be dangerous and is
not recommended. (Abrasive or cut-off wheels are
used to saw many different materials including
metals, stone, and glass.)
4. Drill Chuck: Do not install or use any twist drill
larger than 1/2-inch in dia., or longer than 7inches
in length orextending more than 6 inches beyond
the chuck jaws. Do not install or use any reduced
shank drill except of the spade type (1 inch dia. or
smaller). Use for drilling WOOD and PLASTIC
only.
NOTE: Do not overtighten arbor nut. Use the arbor
wrench to just "snug" it.
WEAR YOUR The operation of any power tool
can result in foreign objects being
thrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage. Always
safety goggles complying with
ANSI Z87.1 (shown on Package)
before commencing power tool
operation. Safety Goggles are

1. Changing Motor Connections
a. Under normal home workshop usage, and if proper
(full) voltage is supplied to the motor, your saw will
operate efficiently on 120V, as connected at the
factory. However, if any of the following conditions
exists, it will be advisable for you to reconnect the
motor for 208/240V operation -- to obtain the
efficiency and performance for which your saw is
designed:
(1) Heavy-duty operations.
(2) Either an undersized or an overloaded branch
circuit serving the saw motor.
(3) Low voltage supplied by the power source, which
the power company cannot correct.
b. Motor wiring connections for 120V (as made at the
factory) are described below. Necessary
reconnections for 208/240V operations are also
described following. Whenever changing
connections from 120V to 208/240V or vice-versa,
make certain that all necessary steps (including
proper fusing of the branch circuit) are completed.

branch circuit having at least a 15-amp. capacity,
and protected by a 15-amp. time-delay fuse or
circuit breaker.

MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION
NOTE: This motor should be blown out, or "vacuumed",
frequently to prevent sawdust interference with normal
motor ventilation.
Your saw motor is equipped with a manual-reset,
thermal-overload protector designed to open the
power-line circuit when the motor temperature exceeds a
safe value.
OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
\\
1. If the protector opens the li ne and stops the saw motor,
immediately press the saw switch to the "'OFF'"
position, and allow the motor to cool.
2. After cooling to a safe operating temperature, the
overload protector can be closed manually by pushing
in the red button on the top of the motor. If the red
button will not snap into place immediately, the motor
is still too hot and must be allowed to cool for a while
longer. In some cases this may take 20-30 minutes.
(An audible click will indicate protector is closed.)
3. As soon as the red button will snap into running
position, the saw may be started and operated
normally, by pulling out the saw switch to the "'ON"
position.
4. Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may
result if motor is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is
fused differently from recommendations. Overloading
can occur if you feed too rapidly or if your saw is
misaligned so that the blade heels. Do#ot use a fuse of
greater capacity without consulting a qualified
electrician.
5. Although the motor is designed for operation on the
voltage and frequency specified on motor nameplate,
normal loads will be handled safely on voltages 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.
6. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect
connections, overloading, reduced input voltage (such
as small size wires in the supply circuit) or to an
overly-long supply circuit. Always check the
connections, the load and the supplycircuit, whenever
the motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire
sizes and lengths with the table following.
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.
NOTE: For circuits of greater length, 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, 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 A CCURA C Y OF THE PRECEDING
A DJUS TMEN T.
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
NOTE: The following adjustment, performed properly, will
result in the work table being parallel to the arm.

NOTE: For safety reasons in accordance with the UL
standard, stops have been provided to prevent 360 °
rotation of the radial arm.
4. Slide the arbor wrench handle between end of motor
shaft and mounting channel 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 shouid slide back and forth with only Blight
resistance. Tighten screw "A".
NOTE: Do not change this elevation setting until both
left and right hand table support channels have been
adjusted.
5 Move arm and carriage to screw "B'" and tighten
support in the same manner.
6. Move arm and carriage to right hand support channel
and level in the same manner you adjusted the left hand
support channel.
7. Recheck both support channels to make sure that
tightening screws did not affect the accuracy of the
