LEFT-HD,

COVER

RIP

FENCE

a. Evidence of Blade Heel

(1) Crosscutting

Figure 58

(a) Heeling to the right will tend to slide the

workpiece toward the right along the rip

fence, as the cut is being made, and will

make square cutting almost impossible.

(b) Heeling to the left will tend to slide the

board to the left along the fence.

(2) Miter Cutting - Same as for crosscutting, except

to a lesser or greater degree, depending upon the

angle°

(3) In-Ripping

(a) Heeling to the right will force the workpiece

against the rip fence.

(b) Heeling to the teft will force the workpiece

away from the fence.

(4} Out-Ripping - The exact reverse of in-ripping

b. Checking for Blade Heel.

(1) Loosen the guard clamp screw and remove the

g_:ard,

(2) Place a square against the rip fence and the saw

blade, as shown in figure 58. The long leg of the

square must be held firmly against both the rip

fence and the table top, and the short leg must

not touch any of the teeth on the saw blade.

(3) If the square does not touch the blade at both of

the two points shown in figure 5B, a heel

condition exists (either to the left or right).

e. Adjusting to Eliminate Blade Heel.

(1) Remove the left-hand carriage cover (figure 58).

(2) Loosen the yoke-clamp handle (figure 56).

(3) Loosen (slightly) two hex-head screws (figure

59).

(4) R,_tate the yoke until the gap between the saw

blade and the square is eliminated.

(5) Iock the yoke with the yoke clamp handle, and

[iqhten the two he×-head screws (figure 59).

(6) Recheck for heel to make sure that tightening

the screws did not affect the setting,

(7) Reinstall the left-hand carriage cover.

4. WOOD SMOKES AND MOTOR SLOWS DOWN OR

STOPS, WHEN RIPPING

This can be caused by the following conditions :

a. A Dull Blade or a Warped Board.

Sharpen or replace the saw blade. Avoid the

attempted use of severely warped material.

b. Crosscut Not Properly Squared.

Adjust as described under "ALIGNMENT INSTRUC-

TIONS", step "4. Squaring the Crosscut Travel".

c. Radial Arm Not Securely Locked in 0 ° Position.

Refer to"PRECISION INDEXING" in the Operating

Controls section.

d. Blade Heels to the Right or Left.

Refer to paragraph "3. Blade Heels to the Right or

Left", preceding.

5. BOARD BINDS, OR PULLS AWAY FROM THE

FENCE, WHEN RIPPING

Refer to "Adjusting Guard Chute and Anti-Kickback

and Spreader Assembly for Ripping Operations" in the

Operating Controls section.

LUBRICATION

Your saw is precision built and should be kept clean and

properly lubricated. Before describing the various points

which may periodically require lubrication, IT IS MORE

IMPORTANT TO FIRST MENTION THE VARIOUS

POINTS WHICH SHOULD NOT BE LUBRICATED,

NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED

Do not lubricate the carriage ball bearings or the motor

bearings. These are sealed ball bearings and require no

added lubrication.

Do not lubricate between the radial arm cap and the radial

arm.
