Since
the work
is pushed along the fence,
it must have a
straight
edge in order
to make sliding
contact
with
the
fence.
Also,
the work
must make solid
contact
with
the
table,
so that it will not wobble.
Provide
a straight
edge,
even
if this
means
temporarily
nailing
of an auxiliary
straight-edged
board
to the work.
If the
workpiece
is
warped,
turn the hollow
side down.
Always
use the saw guard and make sure the spreader
is
correctly
aligned
with
the saw
kerf
and antikickback
pawls
properly
adjusted.
Wood
cut with
the grain
tends
to
spring
the
kerr
closed
and
bind
the
blade
and
a
kickback
could
occur.
Stand
a little
to one side of center
to be clear of,work
in case of kickback.
When
ripping
short
or narrow
work,
always
use a push
stick
applied
to the section
of the workpiece
between
the blade
and fence
. . . push the work
past the blade so
it is clear of the blade. This procedure
will
minimize
the
possibility
of kickbacks.
In-Ripping.
The radial
arm and bevel are indexed
at 0 ° and
locked,
but
the yoke
is turned
90-degrees
in a clockwise
direction
(viewed
from
above)
from
the crosscut
position.
Thus,
when
standing
in front
of the saw, the blade
would
be, rotating
counterclockwise.
After
positioning
the guard
and antikickback
mechanism
the workplace
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
radiai
arm
and bevel are indexed
at 0 °
and
locked,
but
the
yoke
is
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
positioning
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
is either
in-ripping
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
is designed
for
dado
heads
up to
13/16
inches
wide.
Do not install
a wider
dado

DO
NOT
install
the
outside
!oose
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.
