Attaching Table Supports

1.Attach a table support to each side of the saw using the four hex head bolts and flat washers. Put the bolts through the center of the enlarged holes in the table supports so that the supports may slide up or down as needed. Put a lockwasher and hex nut on each bolt and hand tighten.

NOTE: The goal in adjusting the table supports and leveling the front table is to make sure that the table is the same distance from the radial arm at all points. This ensures that when the table and blade are installed the clearance between them will be equal at all points.

Positioning Table Supports

1.Release bevel lock lever, move bevel index lever to the left and rotate the motor to position arbor shaft down. Lock bevel lock.

2.Unlock and hold miter/arm lock lever in index release position as shown. Position arm against left stop (approximately 50° miter). Loosen carriage lock knob (rip lock) and position arbor shaft directly over left hand table support.

3.Slide the arbor wrench handle between end of motor shaft and table support to act as a feeler gauge. Carefully lower the motor with elevation crank until the end of shaft is just touching the arbor wrench. The wrench should slide back and forth with only slight resistance. Tighten screw “A”.

NOTE: Do not change this elevation setting until both left and right hand table support channels have ben adjusted.

4.Move arm and carriage to screw “B”.

Adjust position of table support so that the arbor wrench just slips between the end of the motor shaft and the support. Tighten screw “B”.

5.Move arm and carriage to right hand table sup- port and level in the same manner as in step 4.

6.Recheck both support channels to make sure that tightening screws did not affect the accuracy of the adjustment.

7.Elevate the saw and return motor to hori- zontal position to provide clearance for installation of front work table.
