Alignment

6.The blade "Out-Rip" scale indicator on left hand side of the radial arm is adjusted in essentially the same manner as blade "In- Rip" indicator, except position blade with 2 inches between fence and face of saw blade. The rip-scale indicator should be positioned to read 2 inches on upper portion of the blade "Out-Rip" scale.

Note: With saw blade and fence in the position shown, the upper portion of the blade "Out-Rip " scale is used. If fence is moved to extreme rear position the lower portion of blade "Out-Rip "scale is used.

7.Loosen the yoke lock handle, pull the yoke index lever forward and return the blade to the crosscut position.

Note: Blade is now aligned. It is important that you periodically check alignment and adjustment to insure accurate cuts and maintain safety of cutting proce- dures.

Install Guard

The guard is a very important safety feature. It covers a large part of the blade and helps protect against severe cuts. Always use the guard.

1.Lock motor at 0° bevel (blade vertical).

2.Rotate dust elbow 90° so that the opening is facing to left.

3.Use one hand to lift clear plastic guard; use other hand to grasp rear of guard (below dust elbow). Position guard so riving knife faces front of saw.

4.Tilt front of guard down about 45°. Place over blade; rotate guard to level position.

Note: Make sure notch in guard fits onto tab on motor. This will prevent movement of guard about motor. Squeeze handle trigger to make sure it fully raises clear plastic guard. If it does not, remove and re-install guard, making sure that trigger mechanism engages pull link on guard.

5. Tighten guard clamp screw.
