ADJUSTING THE SPLITTER AND ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect machine from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

During ripping operations, the splitter (A) Fig. 56 must ride in the saw kerf and the anti-kickback fingers (B) should touch the workpiece to prevent kickback.

1.Set the saw up in the ripping position with the blade guard lowered on the in-feed side to act as a holddown.

2.Start a piece of material through the saw (Fig. 56).

3.Shut the saw off, and disconnect it from the power source.

4.Adjust the arm (C) Fig. 56 so that it is vertical and the

splitter (A) is in the saw kerf.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. If the splitter (A) Fig. 56 does not align with the saw

kerf, loosen the hex nuts (D), and position the splitter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(A) into the saw kerf. Tighten the hex nuts (D) against

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the arm (C). The straight side of the splitter should

be toward the blade (Fig. 56), and the anti-kickback

fingers should rest on the workpiece.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: The clamp knob for arm (C) must be tight. Move

arm (C) front to back while tightening clamp knob with

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

other hand to be sure clamp is firmly seated and tight.

6. Pull backward on the workpiece to determine if the anti-kickback fingers bite into the material and prevent

further backward movement. If necessary, readjust the height of the arm (C) Fig. 56.

AUXILIARY TABLE BOARD FACING

To prevent repeated cutting into the table surface which will eventually cause the table to sag, you can cut an auxiliary table board facing and fit it to the table. Make it from 1/4" plywood or particle board. Cut it to a size that will cover all of the table boards in front of the fence. Place the auxiliary table board facing flat on the table and butt it against the table fence. Fasten it to the table with a small brad or finish nail in each corner.

USING A TABLE EXTENSION

When a table extension more than 24" long is attached to the saw, use a sturdy outrigger support or secure the stand or bench to the floor.

MACHINE USE

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect the machine from the power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups, or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Before connecting the radial arm saw to the power source or operating the saw, always inspect the guard and splitter for proper operation alignment and clearance with the saw blade. Personal injury may result.

CROSS-CUTTING

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect the machine from the power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups, or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

NEVER touch the "free end" of the workpiece or a "free Piece" that is cut off while the power is "ON" and/or the saw blade is rotating. The piece may contact the blade resulting in a thrown workpiece and possible injury.

NEVER use a length stop on the free end of the workpiece when crosscutting. In short, the cut-off piece in any through-sawing (cutting completely through the workpiece) operation must never be confined

-it must be allowed to move away from the saw blade to prevent contact with the blade resulting in a thrown workpiece and possibly injury.

Use caution when starting the cut to prevent binding of the guard against the workpiece resulting in damage to the saw and possible injury.
