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.
