is keyed to the yoke clamp
stud, thus permitting
the stud
to be rotated
when the yoke clamp
arm is loosened.
4. Loosen
the yoke
clamp
arm,
and
with
screwdriver
or
arbor
wrench,
rotate
the yoke
clamp
stud a small
frac-
tion of a turn (clockwise
when viewed
from bottom),
then
tighten
the yoke clamp
arm.
5. If the yoke
clamp
arm still does not line up parallel
ta
the radial
arm, !oosen it and again
move the yoke clamp
stud. Continue
this operation
until
the yoke
clamp
arm
is properly
aligned
when tightened.
6. Rotate
the locking
screw back into position
to secure
the
adjustment
by preventing
movement
of index
plate.
NOTE:
It may be necessary
to loosen
the yoke
clamp
arm
so that
end
of lacking
screw
can
enter a notch of the index plate. This would
alter
the arm adjustment
slightly
but not enough
to
be of any
consequence.
CARRIAGE
To test for
looseness
in the carriage,
firmly
grasp
the car-
riage
across
the
two
carriage
covers
and
apply
a firm
rocking
motion.
Noticeable
looseness
may
be adjusted
L..
follows:
1. Remove
the saw guard
and blade.
2. Place
a block
of wood
on saw table
under
the motor
and
turn
elevation
crank
until
just the weight
of motor
rests on the block.
3. Remove
the right
hand
carriage
cover
by removing
the
carriage
lock
knob
and two
attaching
screws.
4. Loosen
carriage
bearing
retainer
nuts one or two turns.
(See
figure
14.)
5. Using
a 1/8-inch
Allen
wrench,
rotate
the two
socket-
head
set-screws
inward
(clockwise)
a fraction
of a turn.
NOTE:
If all carriage
side play
is removed
by
tightening
the
set-screws,
when
the
carriage
bearing
retainer
nuts
are
tightened,
the car-
riage
bearings
may
bind
on the
track.
This
adjustment
should
be
made,
by
alternately
adjusting
the set-screws
and
carriage
bearing
retainer
nuts, until all side play
is removed
and
the carriage
moves
with
only
very
slight
re-
sistance.
6. Install
right-hand
carriage
cover and carriage
lock knob.
PROPER
OPERATING
SET-UP
GUIDE
A combined
number
and color
code system,
designated
as
a "SET-UP
GUIDE",
has been applied
to the saw in order
to
simplify
the location
of controls
required
for
a particular
set-up
operation.
The "SET-UP
GUIDE"
is both
a conveni-
ence
and
safety
measure,
particularly
for
inexperienced
operators.
The operator
should
become
familiar
with
this
feature
before
operating
the saw. A brief
explanation
of
the "SET-UP
GUIDE"
is as follows:
(See figure
22.)
1. Notice
the radial
arm
trim
strip,
the forward
end
of
which contains
six diagrams
numbered
"'1 "° through
"6".
Each number
is in a colored
circle,
and a corresponding
number
in an identical
colored
circle
will be on the par-
ticular
operating
control
member
involved.
2. Locate
each
control
as _.qlows:
a.
"'DEPTH OF CUT".
Diagram
shows the elevation
crank
which
is used
to raise
and
lower
the
blade.
The
numeral
"1"
in a blue
circle
is on the crank
handle.
b.
"'ANGLE
OF CUT".
Two
levers
are
involved
in re-
leasing,
securing
and
indexing
the angle
of radial
arm.
These
are:
arm
lock
handle
and
arm
latch
handle,
each
marked
with
the
numeral
"2"
in a
purple
circle.
c. "CARRIAGE
PIVOT".
Two controls
are used
in this
operation.
They
are:
swivel
index
knob
and
yoke
clamp
arm,
each
marked
with
the numeral
"3"
in
an orange
circle.
d.
"CARRIAGE
LOCK".
The
carriage
lock
knob
is
rotated
clockwise
to secure
the carriage
on radial
arm, and counterclockwise
to release
it. The numeral
"4"
in a green
circle
is at the center
of the knob.
e.
"'BLADE
ANGLE".
The two controls
used in angular
positioning
and indexing
of the motor
to provide
the
desired
saw
blade
angle
are:
bevel
lock
knob
and swivel
index
knob. The numeral
"'5"
in a ye!!ow
circle
is attached
to each
of these
controls.
f.
"'POWER
SWITCH".
This switch
is located
in
the
upper
left area
of the carriage
and has the numeral
"6 '_ in a red circle
directly
under
it.
