Carriage Lock – The Carriage Lock Knob located on the left side
of the Radial Arm, permits the saw assembly to be moved in or
out, and locked at the desired position on the arm. It must be fully
released for any crosscutting, and tightly locked for all operations
in which the saw assembly is stationary. To lock turn clockwise.
To unlock turn counterclockwise.
Arm Angle – The Arm Index Knob (142) and Washer (140) are
located at the Column Base (132). They can index, release, and
secure the arm angle for various miter positions. Positive index
stops are 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 degrees (left and right). Non-index
stops can also be set within the range of the arm assembly.
Yoke Pivot- The Yoke Index Knob, located at the top of the Yoke
(under the Carriage Arm) indexes the Yoke horizontally to 0 degree
(crosscuts) or 90 degree (for rip cuts). Loosen the Yoke Pivot Clamp
Handle and pull out the Yoke Index Knob. Turn the motor assembly
until it locks at the index position. Lock the Yoke Pivot Clamp Handle.
Blade Angle – The Bevel Index Knob (74) and the Bevel Lock Knob
(71) are used to set the Blade angle (variable or indexed). Loosen the
Bevel Index Knob (71). Turn the motor assembly clockwise or counter-
clockwise to the index notch of 0, 45, or 90 degrees, or to a variable
position without using the index notch. Tighten the Bevel Lock Knob
by turning clockwise.
Depth of Cut – The Elevating Handle (100) at the rear of the arm
is used to raise and lower the height of the Saw Blade. Turn the
Elevating Handle clockwise to raise the Saw Blade or counter-
clockwise to lower it.
