NEVER operate the saw with cutting tools (including sanding accessories) installed on both ends of the saw arbor. (B) RIPPING 1. Never 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 work. 2. 3. 4. STICK" (see pg. 25) for Whenever possible, use the in-rip provides minimum obstruction for or push stick as appropriate. narrow or short position - this feeding by hand Do not release the workpiece before operation is complete - push the workpiece all the way past the rear (outfeed or exit) of the sawblade. 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. Use a inches) 6. CAUTION: antikickback 7. A "KICKBACK" occurs during a rip-type operation when a part 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 between 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 heel or by feeding from the wrong direction (see "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, and by positioning the spreader and antikickback property, and keeping the workpiece down on the table and against the fence. 8. 9. push stick when ripping short (under 12 or narrow (under 6 inches wide) workpieces.

Do not stand, to stand, in line with a 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, observer is forced to stand sawblade. a helper, or a casual in line with the 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. (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 antikickback or workpiece, 3. NEVER gang crosscut - lining up more than one workpiece in front of the fence - stacked vertically, in horizontal position and adjust pawls to just clear the top of the fence whichever is higher. 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. (D) ACCESSORIES 1. Use only 33. 2. Never operate this saw when equipped with a 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 3. thru the sawblade -position your body at the nose (in-feed) side of the guard: start and complete the cut from that same side.

Therefore, the table) for radial recommended the dado guard. head, The of use accessories molding abrasive or head, cut-off as listed and on page molding wheels, or head 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 7 inches in length or extending 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." 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.

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 unpluged and the blade freed from the wood. The motor may now be restarted and the cut finished.

WIRE SIZES opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result is overloaded, or if the motor circuit is fused 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. 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 supply circuit, whenever the motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and lengths with the table following. The use of power.

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH "OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING OR LUBRICATING YOUR SAW. Do not lubricate When you receive your new Craftsman radial saw, it requires no lubrication. The radial saw has been partially aligned and all bearings are lubricated and sealed for life. In time, however, in order to keep your saw in perfect working order and accurate, it will be necessary to lubricate and realign. In fact, your radial saw needs more of a cleaning than a lubrication. Make sure the teeth always sharp. Replace of the ANTI if not sharp. KICKBACK pawls between PERIODICALLY radial bearings as no added arm cap and radial LUBRICATE THESE arm.
