Connections For 240- Volts AC. (See figure 2.) When connecting the motor for 240-volt operation, the following connections must be made inside the motor terminal box: CAUTION: The motor i s wired for 115-120 volt operation. Connect to a 2 0 amp. branch circuit a n d use a 20 amp., time-delay fuse. a. Connect the YELLOW, WHITE a n d BLACK leads from mator terminal box to the WHITE motor cord lead. Twist bare ends together and install a wire nut as shown in figure 2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTiONS NOTE: This.saw motor i s wired at the factory for 120-volt, 60 cycle, AC service as shown in figure 1 and described in paragraph 1, below. Under normal home workshop use with proper voltage to the motor, the saw will operote with adequate efficiency. However, i f any of the following conditions exist, it may b e necessary to reconnect the sow for 240 volts AC as described in paragraph 2, below. b. Leave the BROWN lead (from overload protector) disconnected and insulate it with tape to prevent short circuiting inside motor terminal box. c. Connect the GREEN, RED a n d BLUE leads together, twist bare ends and install a wire nut. d. Push all leads carefully into motor terminal box and install terminal box cover. 3.

Undersize wiring i n circuit from motor to power source, or overloaded circuit. Low voltage from power source to motor (which may be due to overlooded power source). The power cord must also be changed from the 120-volt type to the 240-volt type, when changing to 240-volt operation. 1. Connections For 120-Volts AC. (See figure 1.) When replacing a motor or connecting the saw to 120-volts for any reason, make sure the wires inside the motor terminal box are connected as follows: a. Connect the YELLOW, WHITE, BLACK and RED leads from the motor terminal box to the WHlTE motor cord CAUTION: Do notconnect the stcndard 120volt plug t o a 240-volt receptacle. MOTOR SAFETY PROTECTION The saw motor i s equipped with a manual-reset thermal overload protector, designed t o open the power line circuit when the motor temperature exceeds a safe value. 1. If the protector opens the line a n d stops the saw motor, press the saw switch to the "OFF' position immediately 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 motar capacitor cover.

TAPE UNCONNECTED EXPOSED WlRE ' button will not snap into place immediately, the motor i s still too hot and must be allowed to cool for a while longer. (An audible click will indicate protector is closed.) 3. As soori os the red button will snap into running position, the saw moy be started and operated normally by pressing the saw switch to the "ON" position. 4. Frequent opening of fuses or circuit breakers may result if motor i s overloaded, or i f the motor circuit i s fused with a fuse other than those recommended. Do not use a fuse of greater copocity without consulting the power company. 5. Although the motor i s 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 narneplote voltage. Heavy loads, however, require that voltage at motor terminals be not less than the voltage specified on nameplate. 6. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or incorrect connections, overloading, reduced input voltage (which results when small size wires are used in the supply circui:) or when the supply circuit i s extremely long. Always check connections, load and supply circuit when the motor fails to perform satisfactorily. Check wire sizes and lengths with the table in the next poragraph. WIRE SIZES The following table lists recommended wire sizes for connecting the motor to the power source. These sizes should be maintained for trouble-free operotion of the saw. Length of Condurtor 50 100 100 150 200 feet feet feet feet feet or or to to to less less 150 feet 200 feet 400 feet Wire Sire Required (American Wire Gauge No.) 120 Volt Lines No. 12 No. 10 No. 8 No. 6 No. 4 240 Volt Lines No. 14 No. 12 No. 10 No. 8 No. 6 NOTE: For circuits of greater length, the wire size must be increased proportionately in order to deliver ample voltage to the saw motor. TABLE SUPPORT MOUNTING SCREtAJS NOTE: The seven basic "steps" that follow are essential in order to insure correct alignment of the saw. WARNING: Make sure the power cord is not plugged into an electrical outlet when working on the saw. :-.. -'---.. / ic::.;-.:;. ... . ., , I. :.' _ ;&, '. 3'L. ,p.. I C 7> ,\.. :' t;. 4 --2 -..__. STEP ONE - INSTALLATION OF FRONT TABLE 1. Place the large front table board on toble supports so that holes in board match holes in supports. (See figure 3.) 2. Place a l / d i n c h plain wosher and a l/4-2Ox l-inch screw in eoch of the seven counterbored holes located above the table supports. One screw i s threaded into a "U"-clip nut mounted on the No. 2 support. 3. Attach lockwashers and nuts to the six screws in the table supports. Do not tighten these screws at this time. STEP TWO - CHECKING F O R LOOSENESS OF COLUMN TUBE IN COLUMN SUPPORT 1. Tighten arm latch handle (22, figure 20.) 2. Grasp arm latch handle (22, figure 20) with one hand and hold fingers of other hand at parting line between column tube and column support. (See figure 4.) Apply gentle side force to the radial arm in opposing directions. Any looseness between column and column support (indicated by arrow in figure 4) can be felt with fingers. 3. If looseness can be felt, at point indicated b y the arrow in figure 4, perform operations outlined in instructions h a t follow: N O T E Before attempting to adjust the column tube key, the function of this adjustment should be understood. Figure 5 shows a sectional view through the column tube support (looking downward) at this location. By loosening the left-hand set screw and tightening the right-hand set screw the column tube key will be forced tighter into the column tube keyway. Conversely, loosening the righthand set screw and tightening the left-hand .. 2. ... ....~... b?, set screw, the column key will be retracted out of the column tube keyway. The set screw in outer end of column tube key must b e loosened while adjustment i s being made and tightened with medium firm~icssafter adjustment i s completed. This screw applies pressure on the Nylon friction plug and provides smoother elevation movement of column tube. This set screw should be tightened to provide maximum smoothness of operation.

Lock the y o k e clamp h a n d l e (7, figure b e v e l lock k n o b (17) securely. 20) a n d STEP THREE- SQUARING THE CROSS CUT r l 1. Loosen the arm latch handle (22, figure 20) 1 / 4 turn. Make sure the yoke clamp handle (7) and bevel lock knob ( 1 7) are tight. 2. Pull the arm latch lever (1) outward and move radial arm approximately l o 0 to the right. Release arm latch lever and move radial arm into the O0 (index) position. Do not bump or jar the arm. Push the arm latch handle, or arm. latch lever solidly with palm of hand in order to seat arm lock pin in the arm latch. (Refer to figure 24.) 3. Tighten arm latch handle. (Refer to "PRECISION INDEXING" for detailed instructions on indexing the radial arm.) 4. Place a framing square on the table as shown in figure 7 and position the saw and square until the leg of the square iust contacts a tooth of the saw blade. (Position "A", figure 7.) Mark this tooth with crayon or chalk. 5. When the carriage i s moved back and forth on the radial arm, the saw tooth "A" should just touch the square at a l l positions. If saw tooth "A" does not touch the square a t all points, make the following adjustments: a. If saw tooth ("A", figure 7) moves away from the square when moving the blade from the rear toward the front of the table, tap the right-hand front edge of the table. b. I f the saw tooth ("A", figure 7) moves into the square when moving saw from the rear to the front of saw table, tap the left-hand front edge of table. c. Recheck . . . and, if correct, tighten all table holddown screws. (See figure 3.) 6. In extreme cases, due to rough handling during ship- C ment, the above adiustment procedure may not b e sufficient. Make the following adjustment only after tightening the table screws and the cross-cut cannot b e squared according to the preceding adjustment routine. a. Remove three screws ( 1 ancl 2, figure 8), miter-scale indicator (3) and radial arm cap ( 4 ) . -7'w Figure 6 b. Turn the arm latch handle (22, fig ure 20) one-quarter turn countcrclockwisc b u t d o not. pull it out. c. Loosen (do not remove) two hex-head screws (5, fig- ure 8) located inside the column tube. d. Move radial arm slightly i n the proper direction to make saw tooth ("A", figure 7) follow edge o f square when the saw blade i s moved in and out in a "crosscut" manner. e. Re-tighten the hex-head screws (5, figure latch handle. 8) a n d arm f. Recheck travel of blade tooth ("A") wilh the square. g. After the cross-cut has been accurately squared, install the radial arm cap ( 4 , figure 81, miter-scale indicator (3) and screws (1 and 2 ) . Set the indicator (3) a t O0 position.

Loosen arm latch handle (22, figure 20) enough to obtain free movement o f r a d i a l arm. Release arm latch lever (1, figure 20), and loosen carriage lock knob for easy movement o f motor a n d carrioge assembly durin g this operation. Move the motor and carriage assembly out to the end o f radial arm and lower the saw blade until it just touches the table at point A, which is the front central position. (See figure 9.) NOTE: Actual contact with table can b e determined by rotating saw blade and listening for a light "pinging" sound as the carriage i s lowered. 4. Move the blade to point B near the rear edge of table. (See figure 10.) If saw blade starts t o ride on table as i t i s moved rearward, loosen the nut near the rear of the No. 2 table support a n d t a p the table downward until the blade just contacts the table at this point. If table i s too low a t the back, t a p it upward until a pinging sound can b e heard os blade i s rotated. Recheck at both A a n d B locations a n d correct as required. Tighten nut a t rear of No. 2 table support when correct center height i s obtained. 5. Move the blade to the left-rear of table at point C and tap table up or down as required. (See figure 11.) Then move blade to point D a n d adjust table as required. Tighten screws in left-hond table support angle when height i s correct. (See figure 3.) 6. Move blade to points E a n d F and adjust the right-hand table support in the same manner as described for the left-hand support. Tighten screws in right-hand support when adjustment i s correct. .. . 7. Move the saw blade to a l l six positions t o recheck for proper leveling o f table. (See figures 9, 10 and 11.) Make slight corrections if required, and make sure a l l support mounting screws are tight. (See figure 3.) 8. Place the r i p fence i n vertical position behind the front table board. 9. Place the rear table b o a r d behind the rip fence and the table spacer board behind the rear table. 10. Insert -the three table clamps (9, figure 20) and tighten them finger tight to secure all table boards. STEP FIVE - SQUARING THE SAW BLADE TO THE TABLE TOP 1. Place the edge of o framing square on the table t o p a n d against the saw blade, as shown in figure 12. 9 L/ 2. W h e n the saw blade is square with the table top, no light will b e visible between the square a n d face o f saw blode. Do not a:low the square t o rest against o tooth o f the saw. I f light is visible between the square and face of saw blade (with square leg held firm against the table top) pcrform the following adjustments: a. Using a 1/4-inch hex "L" Allen wrench, loosen iust slightly the four socket-head screws (2, figure 12). b. Tilt the motor until the saw blode is square with the table top as shown in figure 12. Then, while holding the square firmly against the saw blade a n d table top. apply pressure against lower part o f saw blade with the thumb until ~pproximately1 /32-inch clearance exists between the square and lower edge of saw blade. This is to compensate for the possible slight shifting of the motor while screws (2) ore bein g tightened. c. Tighten the four socket-head screws (2, figure 12). .. NOTE: It may be necessary to perform more thon one trial.opcration before the saw blade remains perfectly square with table t o p after screws have been tightened. d. BLADE TRAVEL BLADE TRAVEL Recheck for blade squoreness with table top. e. The indicator (3, figure 12) should r e a d O0 o n the bevel index scale. If not, loosen the indicator attaching screw, adjust indicator t o zero and tighten the screw secure1y. I ;I-BLADE HEELING '1: BLADE HEELING-\\ TO LEFT TO RIGHT F i g u r e 13 I STEP SIX- CHECKING THE S A W BLADE FOR "HEEL" (LEFT AND RIGHT) 1. Place a square against the rip fence and the saw blade as shown i n figure 14. The long leg of the square must b e held firmly against the rip fence a n d table top a n d the short leg must not touch any o f the teeth o n the saw blade. 2. I f a g a p exists between the saw blade a n d the-square, one of two types of "heel" exists. (See figure 13.) To correct for either type of condition, proceed as follows: (1, figure 14) by removing the two attaching screws (2). a. Remove the left-hand carriage cover b. Loosen the yoke clamp handle (7, figure 20). c. Loosen (slightly) two hex-head screws (1, figure 15). d. Rotate the yoke until the gap between saw blode a n d square i s eliminated. (See figure 14.) e. Lock the yake and tighten the two hex-head screws (1; figure 15). f. Recheck for "heel" after tightening screws, a n d make corrections if necessary. g. Install left-hand carriage cover. (See figure 14.) STEP SEVEN - DOUBLE CHECK SQUARING OF SAW 1. Recheck for correct adiustment of the saw b y performing "STEPS THREE, FIVE a n d SIX". 2. If the cross-cut i s not perfectly squared, proceed with "STEP THREE" (paragraphs 5 and 6). a n d "STEP SIX", i f a correction i s re q uired.

Use open-end shaft wrench on hex portion of shaft - a n d tighten b y pushing downward as shown in figure 17. /-- h ADJUSTMENT O F RIP SCALE INDICATORS NOTE: The rip scales and pointers are intended to b e used for quick settings. For greater accuracy, toke direct measurement between blade a n d fence. 1. When the fence i s in its normal position (next to the front table), index the yoke 9 0' from the cross-cut position so that the blade i s between the motor and the fence. Lock the yoke. 2. Move the motor along the radial arm until the blade, when spun by hond, just touches the front face of the fence. (See figure 18.) The indicator on the right-hand side of radial arm should now reod 0-inches on lower portion of the "In-Rip" scale. If not, logsen the two screws and shift the indicator to reod 0-inches. NOTE: With the saw bldde and fence in the position shown in figure 18, the lower portion of the "in-Rip" scale i s used. I f the fence is moved to the extreme rear position, the upper portion of the scale i s u.sed. 3. The "Out-Rip" scale pointer, located on the left-hand side of radial arm, i s adjusted in essentially the same manner as the "in-Rip" scale pointer, except the blade should b e positioned as shown in figure 17. With 12inches measured between the fence (when in full rear position) and face of saw blade, the pointer should be set to the 12" position. The upper portion of the "OutRip" scale i s used when the fence i s in the rear position. (See figure 19.) The lower portion of the scale i s used when the fence i s located in the usual position a t the rear edge of front table board. - w 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

The "SET-UP GUIDE" i s both a convenience and safety measure, particularly for inexperienced operators., The operator should become familiar with this feature before operating the saw. A brief explanotion of the "SET-UP GUIDE" is as follows: (See figure 21.) 1. Notice the radial arm trim strip, the forward end of .. which contains six diagrams numbered "1" through 6". Each number i s in a colored circle, and a corresponding number in an identical colored circle will b e a n the particular operating control member involved. 2. Locate each control and become familiar with its operation. a. "DEPTH OF CUT". Diagram shows :he elevation crank which is used to raise a n d lower the blade. The numeral "1" in a light-blue circle is on the crank handle. Figure 21 b. "ANGLE OF CUT". Two controls 'are involved in re-. leasing, securing and indexing the angle of the radial arm. These are: arm latch handle and arm latch lever. The handle is marked with a dot:-blue circle. c. "CARRIAGE PIVOT".'TWO controls are used i n this operation. They are: swivel latch knob and yoke clamp handle, each marked with the numeral "3" in a n orange circle. d. "CARRIAGE LOCK". The carriage lock knob is rotated clockwise to secure the carriage on radial arm, a n d counterclockwise to release it. The numeral "4" i n a green circle is a t the center of the knob. e. "BLADE ANGLE". The two controls used in angular positioning a n d indexin g of the motor to provide the desired saw blade angle are: bevel lock knob and latch p i n handle. The numeral "5" in a yellow circle is attached to the bevel lock knob. The latch p i n handle i s painted yellow. f . "POWER SWITCH". This switch is located in the upper left a r e a of the carriage a n d has the numeral "6" in a r e d circle directly under it. USE OF KEY AND SWITCH NOTE: This savt cannot be operated without the key, and likewise, the key cannot be removed trom the lock while the sow motor is running. This feature was designed into your saw for safety and protection. 1. Insert key in slot and turn it. (See figure 22.) 2. Press the right-hand side of toggle switch lever to turn the saw ON. Press left-hand side of switch to turn saw OFF. RAISING AND LOWERING THE RADIAL A R M This i s accomplished by the elevation crank (8, figure 23). One complete t u r n o f this h a n d l e w i l l raise o r lower the r a d i a l a r m 1/8-inch. . LOCKING THE CARRIAGE TO THE RADIAL ARM This is accomplished by the carriage lock knob (3, fig"rb .; 23). Turn the knob clockwise to lock; counterclockwisq! tb' unlock. I -& ANGULAR MOVEMENT A N D LOCKING OF RADIAL ARM These movements are controlled by the arm latch lever (1, figure 23) and the arm latch handle (12). The radial arm can be rotated 360° and locked in any position. The arm i s unlocked from any position b y a slight counterclockwise rotation of the arm latch handle (12) and is locked in any position b y rotating the arm latch handle clockwise until tight. The radial arm has positive stops at O0 and 45O left and right, and is released from these index positions by unlocking the arm latch handle (12) and pulling out the arm latch lever (1). For most positive and accurate settings at the index positions, the following i s recommended: 1. If the radial arm is already indexed, rotate the arm latch handle (12, figure 23) 1/4 turn counterclockwise from the locked position, pull out the arm latch lever (1) and move the radial arm off the index position. Release the arm latch lever (1). 2. Move the radial arm into the index position (do not bump or jar it) and push on the handle (12) or arm latch lever (1) solidly with the palm of the hand. (See figure 24). This i s very important as it insures proper seating of the arm lock pin in the arm latch, thus always returning the arm to the correct cross-cut (0°) position. 3. Lock the radial arm by rotating the arm latch handle (12, figure 23) clockwise until tight. CAUTION: When moving the radial arm i n any direction beyond 4S0 left or right, always pull out the arm latch lever (at end of radial arm) to prevent damaging the arm lock pin. If damage occurs, the radial arm will not index properly a t '0 and 4S0 positions (left to right). MOVEMENT AND POSITION OF MOTOR IN YOKE These movements are controlled by th'e latch'pin handle (6, figure 23) and bevel lock knob (7). The bevel scale indicates the angular position of the motor with respect to horizontal from O0 to 90° in either vertical position. The latch pin handle (6) outornotically indexes the motor at 0°, 45O and 90° up and down. Lift the latch pin handle to release. At any other position, the latch pin handle i s not engaged. The bevel lock knob (7) locks the motor to the yoke when the motor is i n any position. Rotate it clockwise to lock; counterclockwise to unlock. MOVEMENT AND POSITION OF THE YOKE These are controlled b y the swivel latch pin knob (2, figure 25) and the yoke clamp handle (4). The swivel latch pin automatically indexes the yoke at each 90° position. Lift the knob to release. The yoke clamp handle (4) locks the yokc to the carriage in any position. Pull the handle to release. Push it to tighten. r"l kd --- - . : . .. . i . t& .. .... . .. '' ;-,tf PRECISION INDEXING - /- 1 -. Experiencrd operators o f precision equipment, such as this Craftsman Sow, normally acquire the habit of indexing the machine in one direction only whenever a new setting is made in preparation for a different operotion. For example: When moving the radial arm to a new position, i t is advisable to move it slightly post the desired index position then move it back slowly a n d carefully to latch and lock it. (See figure 24). Swivel indexing a n d bevel indexing can b e accomplished in the some manner. This technique tends to neutralize any stresses imposed upon saw components and contributes to the high degree of accuracy this saw is capable of producing when operated expertly. REMOVAL OF M O T O R AND CARRIAGE ASSEMBLY The motor and carriage a.ssernbly m a y be easily removed from the radial arm for servicing or storage at some loco- tion, away from the remainder of the saw, when desired Proceed .as follows: 1. Release the power cord from cord clamp a t rear of radial arm. - -..--, a r m a n d ' ;:i . 2.

Grasp motor a n d carriage assembly firmly antfnmptPpi pull it forward, o f f radial arm. NOTE' The wrench is not needed when installing the motor and carriage assembly o n radial arm, as the carriage stop will raise automatically, then "snap" back into safety stop position when the carriage is moved rearward onto the radial arm. ADJUSTMENTS TO COPvIPf NSATE FOR VJEAW Even though the finest materials a n d precision workmanship have been used t o minimize wear, it i s reasonable to expect some wear. Adjustments have been built into your Craftsman saw to reduce or eliminate this wear. ELIMINATING LOOSENESS BETWEEN COLUMN TUBE AND C O L U M N SUPPORT ,'7 $\ This operation is explained fully i n "STEP TWO -CHECKING FO2 LOOSENESS OF COLUMN TUBE IN COLUMN SUPPORT." '. YOKE CLAMP HANDLE ADJUSTMENT The normal locking position of the yoke clamp handle (1). figure 25) is approximately midway between the two - sides of the, yoke. When the handle moves considerabl y to the rear, or strikes the yoke before locking, the handle may be adjusted as follows: 1. Remove saw guard a n d blade. 2. Set yoke clamp handle to Position "A", (figure 25), which is just slightly ahead of the mid-position of handle. 3. Insert the handle e n d o f the arbor wrench (or shaft wrench) between the lower inner surface of radial arm and carriage to raise the carriage stop. (See figure 27.) The wrench need not b e held, as it will remain in place when releosed. 4. Grasp the motor a n d carriage assembly and move it carefully off end o f radial arm. CAUTION: When removing the motor ond carriage assembly from radial arm, be sure to hold the assembly parallel to the arm until all bearing rollers are free of their tracks. If the ossembly is allowed t o tilt after the forward rollers are free, the adjustment of rear rollers will b e altered. This same precaution should be taken when installing the motor and carriage assembly on the radial arm. 5. Rest the motor a n d carriage assembly on saw table. 6. Remove the lock screw (3, figure 26). LOCKING POSITION DUE TO WEAR I:. i i 7. Using a screwdriver or similar tool, rotate the yoke clan~passembly (2, figure 25) clockwise (when looking down) until the next hole will line up with the lock screw (See figure 28). Usually, rotating the yoke clamp assembly one hole will correct this adjustnient. However, in same cases it may be necessary to rotate it two holes. 8. Make sure the hole in yoke clamp assembly (2, figure 24) lines up with lock screw hole and install and tighten lock screw (3, figure 26) . .--- ;d' 9. Slide motor and carriage assembly on radial arm. (See . CARRIAGE BEARING ADJUSTMENT ! (1, figure 14). 2. Loosen nuts (3 and 4, figure 30) just enough to permit eccentrics to turn. (See figure 29.) 3. Turn adjusting screws (1 and 2, figure 30) a partial turn left or right as required to take up looseness. 4. Hold head of screws (1 and 2, figure 30) in position established in preceding step and tighten nuts (3 and 4) on underside of carriage. 5. Correct adjustment exists when there i s no play between thecarriage ond radial arm, and yet the cdrritige moves freely. 6. Install carriage cover (1, figure 14). NOTE: It will probabl y be necessary to recheck steps "THREE, FOUR and FIVE" under "ASSEMBLING AND ADJUSTING YOUR SAW," after adjusting carriage bearings. Your saw i s a fine machine and should be given the best of care. If kept clean and properly lubricated, it will give many years of trouble-free service. Before describing the various points which may periodically require lubrication, IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO FIRST MENTION THE VARIOUS SPOTS WHICH SHOLILD NOT BE LUBRICATED. .. , . .'. -1:: L: k.9 ? To test for looseness in carriage ball bearings (bedit%"bearings and tracks on radio1arm), lock yoke clamp handle, grasp the motor and carriage assembly firmly and apply a firm rocking motion. If looseness exists, the two bearings on left-hand side of radial arm must be adjusted. The two bearings on right-hand side of arm are attached to the carriage with regular hex-head screws and ore not adjustable. The two bearings on left-hand side of arm are attached to corriage with. eccentric screws. (See figure 29.) 1. Remove left-hand carriage cover ---" $3 !,. .I. ": ' . "CAUTION" under. preceding step 4.) . N O LUBRICATION REQUIRED: Do not lubricate carriage b a l l bearings. Do not lubricate the motor bearings. These a r e sealed b a l l bearings a n d require n o a d d e d lubrication. Do not lubricate between r b d i a l a r m c a p a n d r a d i a l arm. PERIODICALLY LUBRICATE THESE POINTS Use SAE No. 10-30 auto engine oil and refer to Parts List for locations. Apply o few drops of oil along the swivel latch pin only if the pin has o tendency l o slick. Remove the left-hand carriage cover and use oil sparingly to prevent it from getting on the ball bearings or races. A light film of oil can be wiped on the face of the column tube and keyway to lubricate the fit between this part and the key and column support. 1 I OIL HOLE : Apply a few drops of oil to the bearing surfaces of the elevation crank shaft assembly. An oiling hole i s provided in the elevation shaft bearing bracket to facilitate the lubrication of the bearing support. (See figure 31.) The thread on the elevation shaft assembly can be lubricoted through the oiling hole in the center of the radial arm cap. CAUTION: Excessive oil a t any location will attract dust particles and sawdust. PRELIMINARY CROSS-CUT AT THE O0 POSITION . .. NOTE: The bevel index handle must be positioned at 0°, as indicated on the bevel index scale, and locked. 1. Pull motor forward of fence so that blade i s free to rotate. 2. Lower radial arm until saw blade just clears the table top. 3. Tighten carriage lock knob (figure 20). CAUTION: Before cutting, always be sure that the arm latch handle i s locked. 4. Plug power cord into receptacle. 5. Insert switch key; turn the key and press the switch "ON''. 6. Lower radial arm until blade cuts into table fop approxi..- '. mately 1/32". 7. Hold the bevel index handle with the left hand and loosen the carriage lock knob with the right hand. Slowly pull the motor out to the extreme end of travel. Then push the motor back through the fence to the extreme rear position. Push the switch "OFF". - CROSS-CUTTI NG Cross-cutting is the sawing of wood across the grain. Lumber i s milled with the grain running the length of the board. If a straight cross-cut is desired, the board is placed on the anti-kickback pawl assembly so i t clears the board to be cut. Turn key and press the switch "On" to start the saw motor. Hold the board firmly against the rip fence with the left hand a n d grasp the bevel index handle with the right hand. The cut i s then made b y pulling the carriage forward until the saw blade cuts through the work. When the cut i s complete, the saw should be returned to the back of the radial arm and the switch turned "Off". When m o r e experience is gained by using the saw, i t will b e noticed that w h e n p u l l i n g t h e s a w t o w a r d you d u r i n g cross-cutting, the saw b l a d e tends t o feed itself t h r o u g h the w o r k d u e t o the r o t a t i o n o f the b l a d e a n d the direction o f feed. Therefore, the operator should d e v e l o p the h a b i t o f holding his right a r m straight f r o m the shoulder t o the wrist. After this method is used a few times the operator will find that i t i s necessary to roll or rotate the body from the waist up. Thus, it will become apparent that very little effort i s required on the port of the operator to move the saw blade through the work, and in most cases, the right arm i s used merely to control the rate of feed of the saw through the board. It will also be found that when crosscutting a thick board it will be necessary to retard rnovernent of the saw through the work. By holding the right arm (right hand normall y grips the saw handle) straight, the operator can easily control the rate of feed, thus preventing the saw blade from overfeeding and stalling the saw motor. This must be avoided whenever possible. saw table against the fence so that -the grain i s parallel to the fence. (See figure 32.) NOTE: When cross-cutting normal pieces of lumber, the long end of the board should b e placed to the left of the saw blade as the board i s normally held by the left hand during operation. The saw i s pulled through the stock - not pushed through. The radial arm must be positioned at O0 as indicated by the radial arm position indicator. The arm latch lever must be indexed and arm latch handle tightened. tf s \ The yoke must be indexed at the O0 position, making the saw blade perpendicular to the rip fence, and the yoke clamp handle placed in the locked position. The bevel index handle must b e positioned a t 0°, as indicated by the bevel scale, and locked. Turn the elevation crank to lower the saw until the blade teeth are approximately 1/32-inch below the table surface and ride in the saw slot made when performing the "PRELIMINARY CROSS-CUT AT 'THE O0 POSITION". Push the saw carriage to the rear of the radial arm so the blade is behind the rip fence. Adjust the saw guard so the bottom is porallel to the table and remove or set the Figure 32 3.

These 2 x 4's may be as long as desired t o handle the boards to be ripped. 33 8 6. Place the support stand in position with the upright members on the stand inside the 2 x 4's attached to saw table legs. (See figure 37.) In some cases it may become necessary to. cross-cut long boards which extend over the saw table on one, or both sides. 'This can cause buckling of the board and bind the saw during the cut. To eliminate this condition the ends of the board should be supported. Figure 33 illustrates a typical support which can be mode and used to facilituIe cross-cutting of long lumber. 7. Position the lower ends' of stand uprights outward until the cut angles fit the floor and secure the stand uprights to the 2 x 4's on the saw with two "C" clamps as shown in figure 37. 8. Lay a board on stand and saw table in ripping position as shown in figure 37, and adjust the angle of the stand Another type of work support for ripping long boards with the 12-inch radial saw can be constructed as follows: I. '. r until the board to be ripped i s level with saw table. 9. If two stands are to be used, install the right-hand Cut and assemble boards for the end support according to the dimensions shown in figure 34, which is designed specifically for use on the left-hand side of the saw table. The uprights are cut from standard size 2" x 4" stock and the cross pieces may be standard 1" x 6" or 2" x 6" stock. Scrap boards may be sawed to the dimensions shown, i f standard 1" x 6'' or 2" x 6" stock i s not available. stand at right of saw in the same manner. The clamp attached to each leg is for clamping one 2" x 4" board on the two front legs and another-on the two reor legs. (See figure 38.) These 2" x 4" extensions may be used to attach outboard supports to assist in supporting long boards, or may be used to pick up the saw (one man at each side) ond move it. They are also effective for supporting the saw in the bed of a pick-up truck when moving from one job to another.

A N D L .H .) - F i g u r e 36 Figure 34 1 t 14 * Figure 38 Holes are located in the saw base that permit legs to be extended outward horizontally if desired. This i s accomplished by removing three attaching screws in each leg, rotating the leg to a horizontal position a n d re-installing the three screws. (See figure 39.) The lower inside screw at each location need not be removed, but should b e loosened just enough to permit the leg to rotate on i t as a n axis. '. Ripping i s the sawing of wood with the grain. I t is always done with the help of the fence as a guide t o position and rnointain the work at the correct width for the cut. Because the work i s pushed along the fence, i t must have a reosonably straight edge to make sliding contact with the fence. Also, the work must make solid contact with the toble so that it will not wobble or rock. Provide a straight edge, even i f this means temporary nailing or clamping an auxiliary straight edge board to the work. If work piece is warped, turn the hollow side up. Use of the saw guard is always recommended; and the anti-kickback pawl assembly should always be used i n both ripping operations. Before ripping and after the saw has been positioned prior to cutting, the saw guard a n d anti-kickback p a w l assembly must be properl y adjusted. Loosen the guard clamp screw holding the guard to the motor a n d lower the nose o f the guard fo within 7/8" above the fop surface of the b o a r d to be cut. Retighten fhe guard clamp screw securely. CAUTION: The nose o f the guard refers ta that end of the guard which i s opposite to the end which mounts the anti-kickback pawl assembly. Always r i p from the nose o f the guard. See Warning Label on guard. At the opposite end of the guard, loosen the wing screw holding the anti-kickback p a w l assembly a n d lower the assembly until the tips o f the pawls are 7/8" below the t o p surfoce of fhe b o a r d t o be cuf. Retighten the wing screw securely. The anti-kickback pow1 assembly i s equipped with a "splitter" on its lower end t o prevent the saw slot from closing and binding the saw blade. (See figure 40.) Therefore, the anti-kickback pawl must be adjusted so the splitter i s aligned with the saw blade. This is accomplished by adjusting the two socket-head, set-screws in the guard assembly. Use a straight edge agoinst the splitter and saw blade a n d adjust the socket-head set-screws so the splitter is aligned with the blade when the wing screw i s tightened. I LEG IN HORIZONTAL POSITION SOCKET - HEA LEG ROTATES ORIGINAL OF LEG A L I G N SPLITTER W I T H SAW \\ -b Figure 39 1 \\ \\ !\, - LADE IN-RIPPING - refers to a - , ~ o- s i t i o nwhen the blade is between the motor and the fence and p arallel to ~ h fence. e (See figure 121 ) To place the saw in this position, unlock c swivel latch pin and rotate the the yoke, d i s e ~ ~ g a gthe yoke 90' clockwise (viewing it from t ! ~ ecarl.iage) until ,e swivel larch pin automatically indexes the yoke 90'. .,clock the yoke. Position the motor on the radial arm until the pointer on the "In-Rip" scale indicates the desired width of the finished cut board. Tighten the carriage lock knob securely. Turn the saw "On" and lower the radial arm until the saw blade cuts into the table top a p proximately 1/32inch. Turn the saw "Off". Now adjust the saw guard and anti-kick pawl cssembly as described in the paragraph "Ripping". The board to be ripped must be fed into the saw blade from the right-hand side of the table, therefore, the normal position for the operator i s also at the right side of the table. With left hand safely clear of the blade and holding the board to be ripped down against the table and against thtt face of the fence as a guide, use the right hand to feed the board into the saw. The left hand should remain stationary, serving as a guide only. As the right hand opprclches the left hand, hold a push stick with the rigth hand to complete the cut. Do not leave a long board unsupported so that the spring of the board causes it to shift on the table. A support (described in "Crosscutting") may be used to support the board behind the blade; and if the board is very long, use another support in front of the saw. Ripped boards up to 16-inches wide can be cut in the In-Rip position. 0 OUT-RIPPING -- refers to a position when the motor i s between the biode and the fence. Normally, this position is only used w l ~ e nthe width of the required ripped board cannot be cut from the in-rip position. Ripped boards up to 17-1 /2-inches wide can be cut in the out-rip position when .he fence i s agoinst the front table. If the fence is moved to rre extreme rear position against the table clamps, ripped boards up to 36-1/2-inches wide can be cut. To place the saw in the out-rip position, the yoke must be rotated and indexed 90° counterclockwise from the cross-cut position and locked. The some procedure for pre-cutting the table top (see "In-Ripping") ond adiusting the anti-kickback pawl assembly should be followed. The same procedure for sawing i s used except that the operator stands at the left-hand side of the table and a push stick is normally not required. Resowing i s cutting thick boards into thinner ones with a ripping operation. (See figure 42.) Small boards, up to 4-inches maxinlum width can be resawed in one pass; but larger boards require two passes, one pass along each edge of the board. When two cuts from opposite edges are required, these should be made to overlap 1 /2-inch from the opproximatc center of the board. If the first cut i s too deep, the kerf may close and bind the saw on the second cut, with dangcr of kickback. Also, when the kerf closes, the two sides cf the cut are no longer parallel to the sow blade, and the saw will cut into them to spoil their appearance. Keep the same face of thc board against the fence when making both cuts. When cutting boards thicker than 4 inches, a fence should be used which extends 3-1/?-inches above the table top. BEVEL A N D MITER CUTS t3evcl cuts may be made from either a cross-cutting or ripping position b y tilting the blade to the desired angle. Miter cuts can be made only from a cross-cutting position when the blade and radial orrn are at some angle other Figure 41 0 Figure 42 I Figure 43 than 90' to the fence. A bevel miter cut i s a cut which is both beveled and mitcred. This cut i s made w i ~ hthe blade and radial arm sct at the desired miter angle to the fcnce; then the blade only i s tilted ta the desired bevel angle. This cut i s also referred to as a conipound miter. (See figure 43.) I USE OF THE DADO HEAD The dado saw (or head) i s a special set of blodes for cutting grooves and dodos. Craftsnian 8-inch Kromedge Dado set may be purchased at any Sears Retail Store or Mail Order House. The head consists of two outside blades 1/8-inch thick, six 1/8-inch thick chipper blades and paper washers for 1/16-inch width adiustments. With these blades, grooves of 118-inch, l/4-inch and, additional widths increased in steps of 1 /16-inch up to a maximum of 1-inch wide, can be cut. Outside blades may be used alone, chippers cannot be used alone. When using the maximum width of dado of I-inch on the motor shaft, the loose collars must not be used. The width of the dado may be reduced while using the loose collar and two or more passes made with the work to obtain the desired width of cut. Whenever two or more chippers are used, stagger the cutting ends as evenly as possible around the circumference. Fractional adjustments in thickness of the head may be made by using paper washers between outside blades nnd chippers. Dado head operations are essentially the same as those with a standard blade. However, the dado head takes a bigger bite, so the work-piece should be held more firmly. When a groove wider than the dado head is needed, make two or more passes. Space the cuts so they overlap a trifle. Dado work i s performed in the crosscut position. Ploughing is done in the ripping position. If the rip (or plough) position is used, the anti-kickback pawl assembly should be adjusted as described in the paragraph entitled "Ripping". Rabbeting i s performed in the vertical position. (See figure 44). When rabbeting, the motor i s indexed 90° to the vertical position so the blades ore between the table top and the motor and yoke i s indexed 90° clockwise and locked. The saw i s moved back on,the radial arm and locked to the arm when the amount of blade extending forward of the fence i s equal to the depth of the rabbet desired. If the depth of the rabbet i s large, do not attempt to cut i t in one operation. Lower the radial arm until the blades are in a position to cut the desired width of rabbet in the edge of the board. I f i g u r e 44 I Figure 45 - MOLDiNG OR SHAPING This work is done with the Craftsman Moldin g Cutter Head and a set of cutters, depending upon the type of molding cut desired, with the saw in the same position as that described for robbeting. (See figure 45.) Since the position of the cutters with respect to the fence and table top can be adjusted, any (or all) of the cutter shapes may be used. ROUTING AND DOVETAII-ING Routing and dovetailing are accomplished with the motor indexed and locked 90° from horizontal, except the externally threaded stub end (opposite the normal blade end) is between the motor and table top. The following chucks will mate with this external 1/2-20 thread. (See figure 46.) 0-inch to 1 /4-inch Key Chuck 5/64-inch to 1/2-inch Key Chuck The following routers and dovetails ore recommended: 1 /8-inch router 1 /4-inch router 3/8-inch dovetail 1 /2-inch dovetail 3/8-inch router 1 /2-inch router 5/8-inch router Routing may be performed by either moving the work with a stotionury router or b y clanlping tire work to the table and moving the router. Always approach the router b i t from the lefi-hand side of the saw. I I Figure 47 BORING The saw may be converted to a horizontal drill f o r by using one of the recommended chucks a n d the drill. For drilling holes o n a n angle, the radial arm be positioned to the desired angle while the work parallel t o the fence. (See figure 47.) boring proper should i s held SANDING Using the 10-inch sanding disc mounted on the saw end o f the motor, the saw c a n be converted into a sander a n d operated in any position. One loose collar should b e used Jn each side of the sanding disc. (Sce figure 48.) FENCE LOCATIONS Tlicre are three positions in which the fence can b e located. (See figure 49.) 1. Normal position. 2. Position used for maximum crosscut o n one-inch material a n d for greater bevel and miter capacity. CAUTION: Rip scales cannot b e used in this position. 3. Position used for maximum out-rip capacity. STABILIZING WASHERS FOR THIN BLADES shoe i s instantly pulled away from the brake lining so the motor does not start under load. When the motor is turned off, braking action takes place automatically. This brake is designed to stop a free running saw blade in 20 t o 25 seconds. DO NOT attempt to alter either the brake disc or the lining to obtain o faster stopping time. Stopping the blade too suddenly could possibly unscrew the shaft nut. - HELPFUL HINTS 1. The life of the laminated saw table can b e greatly lengthened by tacking a piece o f l / d i n c h thick plywood to the table top. 2 . There is a possibility that after tacking a piece o f plywood to the table top, the plywood surface may not b e smooth or may be uneven. Lay a,straightedge across the surface of the table a n d check for gaps or high spots on the table. Any portions of the table that are not flat may be sanded until flat. Sanding can b e accomplished in the manner shown i n figure 48. 3. When sanding on the table top, or routing with fhe work stationary, the arm lock pin can be prevented from automaticoily indexing a t O0 and 45' by rotating the arm latch handle approximately six turns counterclockwise from the locked position. Stabilizing washers should be used with blades for improved appearance of the finished cub. 4. A scale may b e provided to a i d the operator when measuring lengths during cross-cut. operations, by tacking or gluing a yard-stick or wood scale to the fence as .. shown. (See figure 50.) BRAKE 5.
