Assembly
5. Position radial arm so that arm is
straight up in air.
6. Slide blade carriage onto radial arm, so
that carriage bearings fit into radial arm
track. NOTE: In correct orientation, sin-
gle bearing is on left, two bearings are on
right as you look down radial arm. Insure
that the wrench is in the disengaged posi-
tion, and spread the rip lock plates such
that one rip lock plate is on the left side of
the arm, and one is on the right side (see
illustration).
NOTE: If the carriage can be moved by
pushing and pulling on the saw handle
when the rip lock is locked, the lock needs
adjustment. To adjust:
a. Lock rip lock. Use screwdriver to pop
out "e" ring.
b. Remove rip lock handle and use as
wrench to tighten nut.
c. Test for desired locked/unlocked condi-
tion. Repeat step b if necessary.
d. Re-insert "e" ring.
7. Push rip lock lever clockwise to lock
blade carriage in place on radial arm.
8. Re-install front carriage stop screw
and bumper, making sure that nut is still
in bumper and that larger opening of
bumper faces switch housing. Wrench
tighten.
9. Re-install front trim.
DANGER:
Re-install carriage stop screws and
bumper, and tighten. These stop
screws are necessary to insure that
the carriage stays on the arm at all
times. Never operate the saw without
stop screws firmly tightened in
position.
10. Wrench tighten carriage stop screw
on top of radial arm.
CAUTION:
Blade is exposed.
