Bevel Ripping; Dadoing; Molding/Sanding - Sears Craftsman 113.199200 Owner's Manual

2. Since the _,.ork is pushed along the fence, it must have a
straight ed!;t in order to mak_ sliding contact wdh the
fence. Also. the work must make solid contact with the
table, so th:_t it will not wobble. P_ovidc' a straight edge,
even if thi_ means temporardv nail ng of an auxidary
straight-edged board to the work If the workpiece is
warped, fur n the hollow side down.
3. Always use the saw guard and mak_ supe the spreader is
correctly algned with the saw kerr and antikickback
pawls properly adjusted. Wood cut with the grad_ tends
to spring the kerr closed and bind the blade and a
kickback could occur.
4, Stand a litte to one side of center to be clear of work
in case of k_ckback.
5, When ripping short or narrow work, always use a push
stick applied to the sect on of the workpiece between
the blade and fence., push the work past the blade so
it is clear of [he blade. This procedure will minimize the
possibility of kickbacks.
In-Ripping. Th, radial arm and bevel are indexed at 0 ° and
locked, but th, yoke is turned 90-degrees in a clockwise
direction (view,_d froLt] above) from the cFosscut position.
Thus, when standing in front of the saw, the blade would
be rotating COLnterc!ockwise. After positioning the guard
and antikickback mechanism the workpiece is fed from the
right-hand side of the saw. The "Blade In-Rip" scale is on
the right-hand side of radial arm.
Out-Ripping. The radial arm and bevel are indexed at 0 °
and locked, but l.t_e yoke s turned 90-degrees in a
counterclockwise direction (viewed from above), from the
crosscut position. When standing in front of the saw, blade
would be rotating clockwise. After position ng the guard
and antikickback mechanism the workpiece is fed from the
left-hand side of the saw. The"Blade Out-Rip" scale is on
the left hand side of radial arm.
OPERATION No. 6 - BEVEL RIPPING
Bevel ripping i._. e ither imripping or out-ripping as described
above, except the saw blade is tilted out of perpendicular to
the saw table surface. The radial arm is indexed at 0 ° and
locked, the bevel is set to the desired bevel angle and the
yoke is positioned for in-ripping (saw blade at rear) or
out-ripping (saw blade at front), as required. All
requirements and observations applicable to normal ripping
operations also apply to bevel ripping.
DADOING
Instructions for operating the Dado Head are contained in
booklet furnished with the Dado Head.
The saw arbor s designed for dado heads up to 13/16
inches w;de. Do riot install a wider dado head on the arbor.
Take several pases if required dado cut exceeds 13/16 inch.
When installing the dado head on the arbor, ALWAYS
install the inside "loose collar" first. Be sure the teeth of
the chippers are placed to fall in blade gullets, and chippers
are approximately equally spaced around the arbor.
[30 NOT install the outside loose collar. Make sure the
arbor nut is tight. Install the arbor nut directly against the
outer blade of dado head.
For best results and to avoid excessive load on the motor,
NEVER CUT A 13/16"' WIDE DADO, DEEPER THAN
3/4" IN ONE PASS.
MOLDING/SANDING
Instructions for operating the Molding Head are contained
in a booklet furnished with the Molding Head.
For use of Molding Head Cutter or Drum Sander with saw
arbor vertical the rear table requires an opening (next to
rear face of fence} for clearance Cut this opening as shown.

For top-side rabbeting or molding in the in-rip position,
relieve the fence by positioning the cutting tool at the
desired location on the arm, locking the Carriage Lock
Knob, and !owering the cutting tool slowly into the fence -
remove only as much material from the fence as [s
necessary.
NEVER USE A DADO HEAD OR MOLDING HEAD WITH THE SAW ARBOR VERTICAL WITHOUT INSTALLING AND
ADJUSTING A MOLDING HEAD/DADO GUARD. FOR TOP-SIDE DADOING OR MOLDING, INSTALL AND ADJUST
THE SAWBLADE GUARD AND ANTIKICKBACK ASSEMBLY FOR RIPPING OR CROSSCUTTING AS APPROPRIATE.
