MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
FOR
YOUR
OWN SAFETY,
TURN
SWITCH
"OFF"
AND
REMOVE
PLUG
FROM
POWER
SOURCE
OUTLET
BEFORE
MAINTAINING
OR
LUBRICATING
YOUR
SAW.
When
you
receive
your
new
Craftsman
radial
saw,
it
requires
no lubrication.
The
radial
saw has been
partially
aligned
and all bearings
are lubricated
and sealed for life. In
time,
however,
,n
order
to
keep
your
saw
in
perfect
working
order
and accurate,
it will be necessary
to lubricate
and
realign.
In
fact,
your
radial
saw
needs
more
of
a
cleaning
than
a lubrication.
Make
sure
the
tt;eth
of the
ANTIKICKBACK
pawls
are
always
sharp.
If they
become
dull,
remove
5/16
hex
nut
(Key
#8 on p. 431 of antikickback
assembly
and flip
Pawls
so new sharp
point
is in working
position
(see section
titled
"Positioning
Guard,
Antikickback
and Spreader
Assembly,
For
Ripping",
sketch
of
Par. 2).
Reassemble
Pawls
and
Spreader
to antikickback
Bar. Check
Spreader
for
proper
alignment
-
correct
if
indicated.
Replace
Pawls
when
second
set of teeth
are no longer
sharp.
LUBRICATION
Your
saw
is prec4sion
built
and should
be kept
clean and
properly
lubricated.
Before
describing
the
various
points
which
may
periodically
require
lubrication,
IT
IS MORE
I
I
IMPORTANT
TO
FIRST
MENTION
THE
VARIOUS
POINTS
WHICH
SHOULD
NOT BE LUBRICATED.
NO LUBRICATION
REQUIRED
Do not
lubricate
carriage
ball bearings
or motor
bearings
as
these
are
sealed
ball
bearings
and
require
no
added
lubrication.
Do not lubricate
between
radial
arm cap and radial arm.
PERIODICALLY
LUBRICATE
THESE
POINTS
Use SAE
No.
10W-30
automotive
engine
oil
and refer
to
Parts
List for
locations.
Apply
a few drops
of oil along the
swivel
latch
pin
and bevel
index
pin only
if the pin has a
tendency
to stick.
Remove
the left-hand
carriage
cover and
use oil
sparingly
to
prevent
it
from
getting
on the
ball
bearings
or races.
A light
film
of
oil
should
be wiped
on the face of the
column
tube
to lubricate
the fit
between
the column
tube,
and column
support.
The
thread
on
the
elevation
shaft
assembly
can
be
lubricated
through
the oil hole
in the center
of the radial
arm cap.
CAUTION:
Excessive
oil
at
any
location
will
attract
airborne
dust particles
and sawdust.

instructions
No. "(D)2"
on p. 5 of this manual.
• Meets OSHA
Requirements
as of 8-73.
The
above
recommended
accessories
are current
and were
available
at the time this manual
was printed.
NOTE:
This
lower
retractable
guard
is designed
to provide
additional
protection
to the operator
in an axial
direction
to
the
sawblade
(perpendicular
to
the
plane
of
the
sawblade
):
(a) When
NOT
in
the
cut
(guards
in full
down
position
(touching
the table)
and carriage
in full
rear position
behind
fence):
(b) When saw is set up to perform
90 ° crosscut
operations
(sawblade
90 ° to table
surface
and arm in 90 ° crosscut
position).
The
lower
retractable
guard will NOT provide
protection
to
the operator,
either
crosscutting
or ripping:
(a)
Axially
when
in the cut,
because
the inner
and outer
guards
ride or,. top of the fence or workpiece
during
the
cutting
operation,
exposing
the teeth
of the sawblade;
(h)
Radially
(in a direction
in line with
the cutting
teeth);
(c)
Obliquely
(at an angle
to
the
guard
and sawblade),
between
the axial and radial directions.
Potential
risks
of
injury
may
be introduced
if the lower
retractable
guard
is
used
for
other
than
90 °
crosscut
operations,
including:
(a)
Becoming
caught
or jammed
in prior
kerfs
in the fence
oJ table;
(b)
Giving
the
operator
a false
sense of
security
when
performing
miter,
bevel, and rip cuts;
(c)
Jamming
when
setting
up, and
while
operating,
for
bevel and compound
miter
cuts.
(d)
Jamming
for certain
in-rip
cuts.
