Fig. 39
16
ADJUSTING SAW TRAVEL SQUARE WITH FENCE
Your radial saw is equipped with exclusive "Micro-Set" Miter Stops. This unique feature makes it possible to produce
accurate miter cuts and perfectly square cross-cuts at all times by individual adjustment of the three stop positions.
These stops are accurately adjusted at the factory. However, adjustments can be made if necessary.
Once the "Micro-Set" stops are set, you can be assured of quick, positive settings at the three positions.
Before determining if the "Micro-Set" stops require adjustment, check saw travel for squareness with table fence. To
do accurate work, saw travel must be 90 degrees to the fence. To check and adjust:
G
H
C
B
A
Fig. 40
SOURCE.
1. Place a square (A) Fig. 40 against fence (B), and

lower cuttinghead (C) so that saw blade just clears
table top.
2. Pull cuttinghead (C) Fig. 40, along square (A). If saw
blade does not travel parallel to the square, the
following adjustment is necessary.
3. Remove cover plate (D) Fig. 41.
4. Locate center cap screw (E) Fig. 41 inside pivot
column and loosen slightly. Tap center cap screw (E)
sharply with a block of wood or insert a thin wooden
wedge inside the column to loosen the tapered plug
(F) Fig. 41 that is attached to the cap screw (E). It is
very important that the tapered plug (F) is loosened
before any further adjustment is made. Fig. 41
5. Loosen clamp handle (G) Fig. 40.
6. Using wrench on hex nut (H) Fig. 40, turn slightly to one side.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to rotate completely. Notice that the entire track also moves.
7. When saw blade tracks evenly against steel square, tighten clamp handle (G) Fig. 40 and center cap screw (E) Fig.
41.
8. Check pointer and adjust to 0 degrees, if necessary.
9. Replace cover plate (D) Fig. 41.
10. Right and left miter positions can be independently adjusted using the same procedure as above. If square is not
available, trial cuts can be made to determine if adjustment is necessary.
17
REMOVING "HEELING" IN SAW CUT
Even though the cuttinghead travel may be perfectly

aligned at 90 degrees to the fence, the blade itself may
not be 90 degrees or square with the fence, (Fig. 42).
This condition is known as "heeling."To check and
adjust:

SOURCE.
1. Cross-cut a board and see on which side of the cut

board saw teeth marks appear. Fig. 42
2. If saw teeth marks appear on the right side, the back

end of the saw blade must be shifted toward left side.
3. Loosen yoke clamp handle (A) Fig. 43. Then loosen

both screws (B) Fig. 44, and turn yoke (C)
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE. If saw teeth marks
appear on left side of board, turn yoke (C)
CLOCKWISE.
Fig. 43
C
4. Tighten yoke clamp handle (A) Fig. 43 to hold
position and retighten screws (B) Fig. 44.
5. Make another test cut and repeat steps 1 through 5
until “heeling” is eliminated.
Fig. 44
ADJUSTABLE CROSS-CUT STOP
An adjustable cross-cut stop (A) Fig. 45 is provided to

prevent unnecessary travel of the cuttinghead on the
track-arm. It is especially useful when performing
repetitive operations. Clamp the stop to the side of the
track-arm at a position which will stop the cuttinghead
travel as soon as the blade cuts through the workpiece.
Fig. 45
18
ADJUSTING BLADE GUARD
SOURCE.
On all ripping and plowing operations, the back part of
the blade guard is lowered so that it just clears the
material. This will prevent the material from being lifted
off the table. Also, lower the kickback rod (A) Fig. 46, so
that the kickback fingers are 1/8" below surface of
material. The kickback fingers will then come into
contact with the material preventing "kickback." Adjust
dust elbow (B) Fig. 46 to direct sawdust to rear of
machine.
Fig. 46
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING AUTOMATIC BRAKE

After a period of extended use, the automatic brake should be checked and adjusted if necessary to maintain proper
blade braking action.
NOTE: The blade stopping time should be a maximum of one second per one inch of the blade diameter.
To check the setting on the automatic brake:
1. Remove four screws, three of which are shown at (A) Fig. 47, and remove fan cover (B) from the motor.
2. The air gap (D) Fig. 48, must be maintained between .008" and .012". Use a feeler gauge (C) to measure the gap.
3. If an adjustment is necessary, turn lock nut (F) Fig.48, until a proper gap setting of .010" is attained.
4. Replace fan cover that was removed in Step 2.
Fig. 47 Fig. 48
19
ADJUSTING TENSION ON CUTTINGHEAD RETURN ASSEMBLY
The cuttinghead return assembly is properly tensioned when there is just enough cable tension to return the
cuttinghead (A) Fig. 49, without excessive force, to the rear of the track arm (B) after completion of the cut. To adjust:
1. To INCREASE cable tension, turn adjustment dial (C), Fig. 49, clockwise.
2. To DECREASE cable tension, pull back on cable tension release knob (D) Fig. 50, until the desired tension is
achieved.

Fig. 49 Fig. 50
WRENCH STORAGE BRACKETS

The Radial Arm Saw is supplied with three brackets (A)
Fig. 51, for storing wrenches when not in use.
Fig. 51
AUXILIARY TABLE BOARD FACING

To prevent repeated cutting into the table surface which will eventually cause the table to sag, an auxiliary table board
facing can be cut and fitted to the table. It can be made from 1/4″ plywood or particle board and should be cut to a
size that will exactly cover all of the table boards in front of the fence. The auxiliary table board facing should be placed
flat on the table and butted against the table fence. Fasten it to the table with a small brad or finish nail in each corner.
The life of the table boards will be greatly extended by the use of an auxiliary facing.The auxiliary facing can be
replaced as often as is necessary to protect the table.
USING A TABLE EXTENSION

When a table extension more than 24 inches long is attached to the saw, a sturdy outrigger support should be provided
or the stand or bench must be secured to the floor.
20
MACHINE USE
CROSS-CUTTING
Cross-cutting consists of supporting the workpiece
against the fence and pulling the saw blade through the
material at right angles to it.
When cross-cutting, the track arm should be indexed at
“0” and the track arm clamp handle tightened. The fence
should be clamped between the table boards. The saw
blade is to be to the left and behind the fence. The
workpiece is placed on the table and butted against the
fence. The saw blade should be clear of the fence and
table when the machine is turned on. Then the saw blade
is lowered until it lightly cuts into the table surface. The
operator should position himself a little to the left of the
machine for better visibility while cutting. Pull the saw
blade through the work, just far enough to cut it off, and
return the saw blade to its starting position. Turn tool off. Fig. 52
and wait for the blade to stop before touching the cut-off
piece. The operator should always be sure to return the cutter-head carriage to the full rear position after each cross-cut
operation.
NOTE: When cross-cutting material more than 1″″ thick, the fence must be positioned immediately behind the fixed
front table board.
CROSS-CUT STOP
A block of wood placed at (B) Fig. 53 clamped to the
track arm with a small “C” clamp will prevent
unnecessary travel (T) of the cutting-head on the track
arm. This is especially useful when performing repetitive
operations. Clamp the block of wood to the right side of
the track arm at a position which will stop the cutting-
head travel as soon as the saw blade cuts through the
workpiece.
T B
Fig. 53
MITER CUTTING
Miter cutting is similar to cross-cutting except the
workpiece is cut off at an angle (up to 45 degrees right or
left) rather than being cut off square. The settings and
operation are performed in the same manner as cross-
cutting except that the track arm is first positioned to the
desired angle on the miter scale before it is clamped in
place. The operator should position the hand holding the
workpiece on the opposite side to the direction of the
miter so the blade is pulled through the workpiece and
away from the hand. Fig. 54 shows a typical miter cutting
operation on the radial saw.
Fig. 54
21
COMPOUND MITER CUTTING
Compound miter cutting is performed in the same
manner as miter cutting except the saw blade is also tilted
to cut a bevel. The settings and operation are similar to
miter cutting except that the blade is first tilted to the
desired angle on the bevel scale before it is clamped in
place. Fig. 55 shows a compound miter cutting
operation on the radial saw.
RIPPING
IMPORTANT: In certain applications, it may be necessary
to use two push sticks, and/or featherboards. Also, if a
push stick or other feeding device is necessary to assist
in the feeding of material, make certain it is conveniently
located so it may be reached easily without having to
stretch or reach near the blade.
Ripping involves making a lengthwise cut through a board Fig. 55
along the grain. When ripping, the track arm is clamped at
“0” on the miter scale. The yoke is then positioned and
clamped so that the blade is parallel to the fence. When
feeding the material, one edge rides against the fence
while the flat side of the board rests on the table. The
guard should be lowered on the in-feed side until it almost
touches the workpiece (Figs. 56 and 57), to act as a
holddown. The splitter and anti-kickback fingers (A) Fig.
56 should be adjusted as described under the section
A
“ADJUSTING SPLITTER AND ANTI-KICKBACK
FINGERS” in this manual. The operators hands should
always be well away from and to the side of the blade.
When ripping narrow work, always use a push stick as
shown in Fig. 58 to push the work between the fence and
Fig. 56
blade. The workpiece must have one straight edge to
follow the fence. If board is bowed, place hollow side
down. The cutting-head clamp knob should be securely
tightened for all ripping operations.
THE MATERIAL MUST NEVER BE FED
INTO THE OUTFEED END OF THE
BLADE GUARD.
OUT-RIPPING B
Out-ripping involves all of the general conditions stated
above. The yoke is clamped at right angle to the track arm
with the blade guard facing the front of the machine. The
cutting-head is positioned on the out-rip scale to the
desired setting and clamped in position. The workpiece is
Fig. 57
fed from the left side of the saw. Fig. 56 shows a typical
out-ripping operation on the radial saw.
IN-RIPPING
In-ripping involves all of the general conditions stated
under RIPPING. The yoke is clamped at right angle to the
track arm with the blade guard facing the rear of the
machine. The cutting-head is positioned on the in-rip
scale to the desired setting and clamped in position. The
workpiece is fed from the right side of the saw. Fig. 57
shows a typical in-ripping operation on the radial saw.
WHEN RIPPING WORK LESS THAN FOUR INCHES WIDE, USE A PUSH STICK TO COMPLETE
THE FEED. (FIG. 58)
22
CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK
When ripping work less than 4 inches wide, a push stick should be used to complete the feed and could easily be
made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in Fig. 58.
