A series of six diagrams is located on the top surface of the
radial arm. These designate the controls that must be used
in basic set-ups and operating procedures. You should
become familiar with these diagrams and the operating
instructions that follow, before operating your saw.
1. Depth of Cut
a. The diagram shows the elevation crank (10, figure
34), which is used to raise and lower the saw blade.
b. Clockwise rotation raises the blade.., counter-
clockwise rotation lowers it. One complete turn of
the handle will raise or lower the saw blade 1/8-inch.
2. Angle of Cut
CAUTION: WHEN MOVING THE RADIAL ARM IN
ANY DIRECTION BEYOND 45 ° (LEFT OR RIGHT_,
ALWAYS PULL OUT THE ARM-LATCH LEVER (1,
FIGURE 34). OR LOOSEN THE LEVER BY RO-
TATING THE ARM-LATCH HANDLE (18}
COUNTERCLOCKWISE UNTIL IT STOPS, TO PRE-
VENT DAMAGING THE ARM-LOCK PIN, DAMAGE
OF THIS NATURE WOULD PREVENT PROPER IN-
DEXING OF THE RADIAL ARM AT THE 0 ° AND
45 ° POSITIONS (LEFT OR RIGHT}.
a. Two controls are involved in releasing, securing and
indexing the angle of the radial arm. These are: the
arm-latch handle (18, figure 34), and the arm-latch
lever (1).
WARNING: THE SAW SHOULD NEVER BE
OPERATED WITH THE SAW BLADE OUT-
SIDE OF THE TABLE AREA, EVEN
THOUGH THE RADIAL ARM CAN BE RO-
TATED A FULL 360 ° AND LOCKED IN ANY
POSITION.
b.
The arm is unlocked from any position by a slight
counterclockwise rotation of the armlatch handle
and is locked in any desired miter position by
rotating the arm-latch handle clockwise until tight.
O O
The radial arm has positive stops at 0 and 45 left
and right, and is released from these index positions
by unlocking the arm-latch handle 1/4 turn, and
pulling out the arm-latch lever.
For the most positive and accurate settings at the
index positions, the following is recommended:
