operating controls

(1) If the radial arm is already indexed, rotate the

arm-latch handle ( 18, figure 34) 1!4turn counter-

clockwise from the locked position, pull out the

arm-latch lever, and move the radial arm off the

index position_ Release the arm-latch lever.

(2) Move the radial arm into the desired index

position (do not bump or jar it) and push on the

arm-latch lever solidly with the palm of your

hand (figure 34 inset). This is very important as

it ensures proper seating of the arm lock pin in

the arm latch, thus always setting the arm at the

correct position.

(3) Lock the radial arm by rotating the arm-latch

handle clockwise until tight.

3. Yoke Pivot

a. Two controls are used in this operation. They ate:

the swivel latch-pin knob (2, figure 34) and the yoke

clamp handle (6, figure 34).

b. A swivel latch pin automatically indexes the yoke at

each 90 ° position. Lift the spring-loaded swivel

latch-pin knob to release this pin.

e. The yoke clamp handle locks the yoke to the carriage

in any position. Pull the handle forward to release

the yoke; push the handle rearward to secure the

yoke.

4. Carriage Lock

a. The carriage lock knob (5, figure 34) is rotated

clockwise to secure the carriage on the radial arm,

and counterclockwise to release it.

b. When performing a square or miter-angle crosscut,

the carriage lock knob must be rotated counterclock-

wise until the carriage is free to travel along the arm.

This knob should be tightened except when the

operator is ready to grasp the bevel index handle (14,

figure 34) and rnake a cut.

5. Blade Angle

a. The two controls used in angular positioning and

indexing of the motor, to provide the desired

saw blade (bevel) angle, are: the bevel lock knob (t 1,

figL_re 34) and the latch pin handle (8, figure 34).

b. The bevel-index scale (9, figure 34) indicates the

angular position of the motor with respect to

horizontal, from 0 ° to 90 ° in either vertical position.

c. The bevel latch pin automatically indexes the motor

at 0°, 45 ° and 90 ° up and down. Lift the spring

loaded latch-pin handle to release this pin. At any

other position, the latch pin does not engage.

d. The bevel lock knob locks the motor to the yoke

when the motor is in any position. Rotate the knob

cloekwise to lock, counterclockwise to unlock.

6. Power Switch and Key

a. This saw cannot be operated without the key, and

the key cannot be removed from the lock while the

saw motor is running.

To release the switch lever (15, figure 34) insert the

key (7, figure 34) in the slot and turn it counter-

clockwise until it stops. Rotate the key clockwise

to lock the switch.

c. To start the saw, engage your forefinger under the

left side of the switch lever and pull the lever

outward.

d lo stop the saw, simply push the switch lever with

finger or thumb.

WARNING: When leaving the saw unattended,

lock the ON-OFF switch and remove the key.

POSITIONING SAWDUST CHUTE, AND

ANTI-KICKBACK AND SPREADER

ASSEMBLY, FOR RIPPING

WARNING: NEVER POSITION THE GUARD

CHUTE OR ANTI-KICKBACK ASSEMBLY

WITH THE POWER ON. NEVER POSITION

THE ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS BY GRASP-

ING THE PAWLS OR SPREADER.

For all crosscutting operations (those operations in which

the carriage is traveled along the radial arm to feed the saw

blade into the workpiece) both the sawdust chute (16,

figure 34) and the anti-kickback and spreader assembly (12,

figure 34) must be elevated to clear theworkpiece or the

fence, whichever is higher.

1. The Anti-Kickback and Spreader Assembly

The anti-kickback and spreader assembly (12, figure

34) is used during ripping operations and is adjust-

able to accommodate the thickness of the board

being ripped. A wing nut in the guard secures the

assembly.

The anti-kickback and spreader assembly is posi-

tioned by grasping the top of the light housing

assembly (23, figure 3 on p. 30), I9osening the wing

nut, and raising or lowering the assembly until the

anti-kickback pawl point nearest the saw blade rests

on the top surface of the workpiece, with the bottom

edge of the pawls angled slightly downhill to the top

surface of the workpiece. (See figure 35.) Before

making the cut, check the effectiveness of the

anti-kickback pawls by placing the workpiece under
