Adjusting Column Support
The combined goal of this adjustment is

between the column and arm support,
and b) to make raising and lowering the
radial arm a smooth and firm action.
1. Index arm at 0° miter position and
lock miter lock.
2. Use elevation handle to raise radial
arm to maximum height. If elevation
handle is difficult to turn, slightly loosen
gib adjustment screw and !/2-13 hex bolt.
3. Hold end of radial arm with one
hand, and place fingers of other hand
against column and arm support.
4. Feel for movement between column
and arm support as you push radial arm
up and down. If there is movement, go
to step 5. If there is no movement, go to
step 6.
5. If you have not already done so, slight-
ly loosen gib adjustment screw. Slightly
tighten v2-13 hex bolt. Repeat steps 3
and 4.
