See Figure 28.

The rip scale indicators on the arm show the distance between the blade and the dp fence with the fence in the front and rear positions. The upper scale is used when the fence is positioned directly behind the front table. The lower scale is used when the fence is at the extreme roar, directly in front of the column.

The In-Rip Indicator is on the right side of the arm. The Out-Rip Indicator is on the left side of the arm.

To complete setting up your saw, continue with the Adjustment prroceduros.The adjustments should be checked regularly, depending on usage. Your saw will provide accurate cuts with fine tolerances as long as you protect the accuracy with frequent alignment checks. The radial arm saw can perform a wide range of high quality cuts.

The final step will be connecting the control cut device. The control cut device offers many benefits. As it increases operator control, it eliminates the risk in a cross cut of the saw "climbing" out and over the workpiece at the operator. Feed control of the blade as it cuts through the workpiece increases, as does the accuracy of the cut. The following adjustments need to be completed before the control cut device is connected.

Your radial arm saw is designed to perform a variety of
