  • Page 4 Safety Kickback Hazard Kickback is the uncontrolled propelling of the workpiece back toward the user during rip- ping. The cause of kickback is the binding or pinching of the blade in the workpiece. Sev- eral conditions can cause the blade to bind or pinch.
  • Page 5 3. A squeeze trigger in the saw handle to fully raise the clear plastic guard at the start of a crosscut. Note: This is necessary because the guard will not automatically raise to clear the fence.
  • Page 6 BEFORE CLEARING A JAMMED LOWER GUARD WARNING • Cut-off pieces can jam between guard and blade. Turn saw off and wait for blade to stop before freeing jammed guard or blade. • Workpiece or cut-off pieces can be violently thrown by blade. Wear safety goggles.
  • Page 7 4. Keep floors clean and free of sawdust, wax and other slippery materials. 5. Keep work area well lighted and unclut- tered. 6. Use saw only in dry area. Do not use in wet or damp areas.
  • Page 8 7. If blade jams, turn saw off immediately, remove yellow key, then free blade. Do not try to free blade with saw on. 8. Turn saw off if it vibrates too much or makes an odd sound. Correct any problem before restarting saw.
  • Page 9 Dia. 5. Do not overtighten blade nut because blade collar could warp. 6. Do not turn saw on and off in rapid sequence because blade can loosen. 7. Blade should stop within 15 seconds after saw is switched off. If blade takes longer, the saw needs repair.

  • Page 21 (below Knife dust elbow). Position guard so riving knife faces front of saw. 3. Tilt front of guard down about 45°; place over blade; rotate guard to level position. NOTE: Make sure two screw heads on back of guard are resting on top of motor housing.
  • Page 22 Alignment Align Riving Knife to Blade The goal of this adjustment is to position the riving knife directly in line with the blade. Riving knife alignment is an important safety factor. The riving knife rides in the kerf of the cut workpiece during ripping to keep the two sides of the workpiece from pinching on the blade.

  • Page 31 6. When cutting hard woods, like oak, or making compound cuts, keep arm holding saw handle rigid and pull blade through slowly. 7. To keep cut line accurate, periodically check blade alignment.

  • Page 32: Ripping

    Ripping Ripping Defined Ripping is changing the width of a workpiece by cutting along its length. The workpiece is fed into the blade, which rotates in a fixed position, parallel to the fence and a set dis- tance from the fence. A solid fence (no kerfs) serves as a guide for the workpiece.
  • Page 33 Do not set the blade closer than 1/2 " to the fence. The radial saw is the wrong tool for such a narrow cut. A band saw would be more appropriate for this type of cut.
  • Page 34 Keep both hands on infeed side. Keep hands away from outfeed side. Push workpiece through to complete cut. Do not reach around to pull it. If blade jams, turn saw off, remove yellow key, then free blade. Kickback Kickback is the uncontrolled propelling of the workpiece back toward the user.
  • Page 35 Use featherboard (see Cutting Aides). Keep hands away from outfeed side. If blade jams, turn saw off, remove yellow key, then free blade. When cutting composition materials, or other materials with one smooth and one rough side, put rough side up so pawls will be more likely to grab.
  • Page 36 Ripping Hold Down Function The hold down must be set correctly during ripping to act as barrier against the infeed side of the blade, to help keep the workpiece flat on the table, and to deflect workpiece chips. It must be lowered to just clear the workpiece.
  • Page 37 3. Make kerf: a) turn saw on b) lower blade about 1/16" into table c) turn saw off and remove yellow key. 4. Place workpiece parallel to and up against blade.** Note: Workpiece will be between blade and table front.
  • Page 38 Ripping 7. Remove workpiece from table. 8. Ready push stick or push block. 9. Set up table extension(s) and support their outer ends. Do not use another per- son to support workpieces because this can cause kickback and it exposes helper to potential hazards at outfeed side.
  • Page 39 8. Turn saw off and wait for blade to stop spinning before touching workpiece. Out-Ripping Keep Hand Back 8"...
  • Page 40 Ripping Dado Blades, Molding Heads See Accessories for information on safety, installation and use of dado blades and molding heads. Edging Edging is the use of a dado blade or molding head in the horizontal position. It is an advanced technique that requires a molding head guard and a special fence.

  • Page 41: Cutting Aides

    Many people cus- tom build their own jigs and fixtures. Jigs and fixtures are often designed for a particular cut. You can use your radial saw to easily make many jigs and fixtures. To get you started, we’ve included instructions for some simple ones.
  • Page 42 2-1/2" strip saved earlier to the base as shown. Important: Do not use nails or screws. This is to prevent dulling of the saw blade in the event you cut in to the push block. • Position the handle at the edge of the ply- wood base as shown.
  • Page 43 Clamp the featherboard to the front table, so that the angled edge of the featherboard is against the workpiece on the infeed side of the blade. Do not clamp the featherboard against the cut off part (out-feed side) of the workpiece. If clamped to the outfeed side, the featherboard can squeeze the kerf closed, put binding pressure on the blade, and cause kickback.

  • Page 44: Maintenance

    Maintenance Replacing Pawls Make sure the teeth of the pawls are always sharp. If they become dull the pawls must be replaced: 1. Use 7/16" wrench to remove hex nut. Remove old pawls. 2. Install new pawls. Place spacers exactly as shown.
