PROPER

OPERATING PROCEDURES

CONTROLS

A series of six diagrams are located on the top surface of radial arm in order to designate the controls that must be

used in basic "set-ups" and operating procedures. (See

figures 23 and 29.) The inexperienced operator should

become familia_ with these diagrams before operating the saw.

1."'DEPTH OF CUT". The diagram shows the elevation crank (5, figure 23) which is used to raise and lower the blade. A clark blue circle is on the crank handle.

2."'ANGLE OF CUT". Two levers are involved in releasing, securing and indexing the angle of radial arm. These are: arm lock handle (7, figure 23) and arm latch handle (_8, figure 23), each marked with a yellow circle.

3."'YOKE PIVOT". Two controls are used in this operation. They are: swivel index knob (2, figure 23) and yoke clamp arm (1, figure 23), each marked with a dark olive green circle.

4."'CARRIAGE LOCK". The carriage lock knob (4, figure 23), is rotated clockwise to secure the carriage on radial

arm, and counterclockwise to release it. An orange circle is at the center of the knob.

5."'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 (12, figure

23)and bevel index knob (11, figure 23). A light blue circle is attached to each of these controls.

6."POWER CONTROL". The ON-OFFswitch (15, figure

23)is located in the upper left-hand area of the carriage and has a red circle directly under it.

LUBRICATION

This Craftsman saw is a fine machine and should be given

the best of care. If kept clean and properly lubricated, it will give many years of trouble-free service. Before describ-

ing the various points which may periodically require lubri- cation, IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO FIRST MENTION THE VARIOUS SPOTS WHICH SHOULD NOT BE LUBRICATED.

NO LUBRICATION REQUIRED

AT THESE POINTS

Do not lubricate the motor bearings. These are sealed

ball bearings and require no added lubrication.

Do nat lubricate carriage bearings or tracks.

PERIODICALLY LUBRICATE THESE POINTS

Use SAE No. 10W-30 auto engine oil and refer to Parts List for locations of parts listed below.

1.Apply a few drops of oil along the swivel index pin only if the pin has a tendency to stick. Remove the left- hand carriage cover and use oil sparingly to prevent it from getting on the ball bearings or races.

2.A light film of oil can be wiped on the face of the column tube and keyway to lubricate the fit between this part and the key and column support.

3.An oil hole is provided in the top of elevation crank to

facilitate lubrication of the elevation shaft and radial arm cap bearing surface.

4.The threads on elevation shaft are lubricated by remov- ing the elevation crank and radial arm cap.
