Yoke Clamp Adjustment

To check the yoke clamp adjustment follow these steps:

1.Pull the yoke lock handle towards the front of saw to unlock yoke. Pull forward on the yoke index lever (on the left side of car- riage) to disengage index pin.

2.Swivel the motor halfway between the crosscutting and rip position so the index pin is not engaged.

3.Lock the yoke lock handle.

4.Grasp the motor with both hands and try to swivel it back into the crosscut position. It should not move.

5.If it does move follow these steps:

a.Remove arm cap.

b.Remove carriage stop screw and lock- washer with a 1/4 inch hex-L wrench.

c.Grasp the carriage assembly, move it carefully off the end of radial arm, holding it parallel to the radial arm until all car- riage bearings are free of their tracks.

d.Rest the motor and carriage assembly on saw frame.

e.Set yoke lock handle at unlocked posi- tion. Tighten nut with 15/16" wrench, until lock handle locks mid-way between the two legs of the yoke.

f.Hold the motor and carriage assembly parallel to radial arm and start the rear bearings onto the tracks. Continue to hold the assembly parallel to the tracks until the forward bearings are on the tracks.

g.Slide the carriage rearward on the radial arm and install the carriage stop screw and lockwasher.

h.Repeat steps 1-4. Readjust if neces- sary.
