2.* Loosen yoke clamp handle (item 2, figure 18) by pulling
the. handle horizontally toward the front of the saw.
3. Slightly loosen the two hex head machine _rews (item 3,
figure 18).
4. Rotate the yoke (item 4, figure 18) very slightly oppo_ite
to the direction of heel. (For left heel, rotate yoke clock-
wise; forrightheel rotateyoke counterclockwise.)

RAISING AND LOWERING THE RADIAL ARM is ac-
complished by the elevation crank (Item 18, figure 19). One
complete turn of this handte will raise or lower_the radial
€l/'m _,_".
LOCKING THE CARRIAGE TO THE RADIAL ARM is
accomplished by the carriage lock knob (Item 7, figure 19).
Turn the knob clockwise to lock; counterclockwise to unlock.
ANGULAR MOVEMENT AND LOCKING OF THE RADIAL
ARM are controlled by the arm latch handle (item 12,
figure 19). The radial arm can be rotated 360 ° and locked
in any position. The arm is unlocked from any position by a
slight counterclockwise rotation of the arm latch handle
and is locked in any position by rotating the arm latch
handle clockwise until tight. The radial arm has positive
stops at 0 ° and 45 ° left and right, and is released from
these index positions by unlocking and pulling out the arm
latch handle (Item 12, figure 19). Due to positive arm
locking at the index positions, the arm latch handle
may be difficult to pull out. A few turns to the left will
release i|.
For most positive and accurate settings at the index posi-
tions, the following is recommended:
1. if the radio1 arm is already indexed, unlock and pull
out the arm latch handle and move the radial arm off
of the index position. Release the arm latch handle.
2. Before moving the radial arm to the desired index posi-
tion, turn the arm latch handle (item 12, figure 19) just
1/4 turn counterclockwise from the locked position.
3. Move the radia! arm into the index position (do not
bump or jar) and hit the face of the arm latch handle
solidly with the palm of the hand.
4. Lock the radial arm by turning the arm latch handle tufty
clecl_,vise.
CAUTION: When moving the radial arm in any
direction beyond _° left or right, always pull out
11
the arm latch handle (at end of radial arm) to
prevent damaging the arm lock pln_ If damage
occurs, the radial arm wiff not index properly at
0 ° and 45_ left or right.
MOVEMENT AND POSITION OF THE MOTOR IN THE
YOKE are,controlled by the latch pln handle (item 10, figure
19) and beveZ lock knob (Item 16, figure 19). The bevel scale
indicates the angular position of the motor with respect to
the horizontal from 0 _ to 90 ° in either vertical pos'rtionoThe
latch pin handle automatically indexes the motor at 0 °, 45 °,
and 90 ° up and da'_n. Lift to release. At any other posi-
tion the latch pin handle isnot engaged. The bevel lock knob
locks the motor to the yoke when the motor is in any posi-
tion. Locking is clockwise; unlocking is counterclockwise.
MOVEMENT AND POSITION OF THE YOKE are con-
troffed by the swivel latch pin knob (Item 9, figure 19) and
the yoke clamp handle (Item 5, figure 19). The swivel latch
pin automatically indexes the yoke at each 90 ° position and
two 45 ° positions_ Lift to release_ The yoke clamp handle
locks the yoke to the carriage in any position. Pull to release.
Push to tighten. When "in Ripping" it may be desirable to
have more flee table in front of the saw blade than is oh-
tainable when the radial arm is at the 0 ° posltlon_ With
the blade in th normal cross-cut position index the radial
arm to 45 ° left and lock it. Then loosen the yoke clamp
handle and index tile yoke 45 ° clockwise_ Redamp the
yoke clamp handle. The added free table space is now to
the right of the blade and ripping should be done from the
right side of the table. The reverse is also true for "Out
Ripping" by indexing the radial arm 45 ° right and index-
ing the yoke ,45° countercTackwlse_ The added table space
is now ta the left of the blade and ripping should be done
from the left s_de of the table.
CAUTION: Under these two conditions the In-Rip
and Out-Rip scales cannot be used.
