Arm And Column; Carriage Bearings - Craftsman 113.197250 Operator's Manual

Arm and Column
With the miter lock unlocked and in the unin-
dexed position the arm should fit snugly to
the column tube and not allow any vertical
movement. If you can move the end of the
arm up and down an adjustment is needed.
1. With a #2 Phillips screwdriver remove two
screws and the rear ann cover.
Ftg. 152
2. With a 9/16 inch wrench or socket, tighten
evenly the top two 3/8-!6 hex head screws. The
bottom two screws should also be tightened
evenly but not as tight as the top screws.

4. Holding the wrench and lever in position,
rotate yoke to a non-preset position and rotate
swivel lock to the locked position. If the yoke can
still be moved, the squre nut has not been tight-
ened enough. Repeat step 3.
5. When the adjustment is such that the yoke can
no longer be moved when the swivel lock is in the
locked position, re-insert the tab on the wrench
into the slot in the lever.
6. Unlock swivel arm and rotate yoke to a non-
preset position. Return yoke to a rip position. If
the indexpin does not securely seat at the preset
position, the adjustment is too tight. Loosen the
square nut one quarter turn until swivel index pin
seats securely.
7. Adjustment is complete when both locking and
preset position functions are working properly.
8. When the adjustment is such the the yoke can
no longer be moved when the swivel lock is in the
locked position, re-insert the tab on the wrench
into the slot in the lever.
9. Re-install knob to swivel handle and install
screw and nut in knob.

3. This adjustment is correct when the arm
moves firmly without vertical movement.
4. Re-install the rear arm cover.
Carriage Bearings
The carriage should roll freely but with some
resistance for the entire length of travel. To
check for bearing looseness, perform the fol-
lowing steps.
1. Place yoke in either the in-rip or out-rip,,
position.
