Squaring Crosscut Travel - Craftsman 113.198111 Operator's Manual

Squaring Crosscut Travel
The blade must travel perpendicular to the
fence along the radial arm in order for cross-
cuts to be accurate. If the radial arm is not
perpendicular to the fence, there will be a
slight miter angle in all crosscuts.
_IbWARNING: Plugging in the saw dur-
ing alignment can result in your fingers,
hands, or arm being cut off from blade
contact. Do not plug in the saw at any
time during alignment. The saw should
only be plugged in when it is to be used.
I. Place the radial arm in the 0 ° miter
position and lock the miter lock.
2. Raise the radial arm about 2 inches above
the front table.
3. Unlock the bevel lock, and turn the motor
so that the arbor is perpendicular to the table.
(Figure 53).
Fig. 53
4. Unlock the rip lock and move the motor
until the motor arbor is over the front table.
5. Lock the
rip lock,
miter lock and bevel
lock.
6. Lower the radial arm until the motor arbor
is making very light contact with front table.
7. Lay a framing square on the front table
with the long edge along the back of the table
and the short edge alongside the motor arbor.
(Figure 54)
8. Move the framing square toward the motor
arbor until the arbor and square touch each
other. (Figure 54)
9. Unlock the rip lock and move the motor
arbor back and forth along the radial arm as
shown by the arrows. Do not move the
framing square.
10. If the motor arbor just touches the square
at all points, no change is needed. Go to step
14, or
If the motor arbor moves away from the
square or tries to "walk" on top of it, go to
step l 1. (Figure 54)
