Accessories Safety
1.Use only accessories recommended for radial saws. Use of any other accessory or attachment might increase the risk of injury to you or others.
2.Read and follow instructions that come with accessory.
3.Do not install accessories on both ends of arbor shaft at same time.
4.Do not use twist drill bits longer than 7" because they can bend and break.
5.Use a spade type drill 1" or smaller in diameter for drilling only wood or plastic.
6.Do not use reduced shank drills.
7.Remove blade wrenches before turning saw on.
DANGER
Grinding wheels, abrasive or cut off wheels, or wire wheels can break explosively and throw pieces. You can be blinded or receive a life threatening puncture wound. Do not use grind wheels, abrasive or cut off wheels, or wire wheels.
WARNING
When using accessory shaft, exposed arbor shaft can pull in clothing, hair or jewelry as it rotates. Broken bones and severe cuts could occur.
Follow personal safety instructions. Locate arbor shaft under radial arm: lock blade carriage in
Information for Dado
1.Put inside loose collar on arbor shaft first, then install dado. Tighten blade nut directly against outside surface of dado.
2.Saw arbor is designed for dado up to 13/16" wide. Use of wider dado could cause dado and blade nut to spin off. To make larger than 13/16" wide cut, take several passes with dado.
3.To avoid excessive load on motor when making a 13/16" wide cut, limit depth of cut to 1/8" in one pass.
Information for Edging
Edging is the use of a dado or molding head in the horizontal position. Edging requires the use of a molding head guard (see Accessories List)
1.Use molding head guard for edging with molding head and dado blade. Follow instructions that come with guard. Do not edge with a blade.
DANGER
Edging without a guard can bring hands and fingers too close to blade. Hands, fingers and arm could be cut off. Buy, install, and follow instructions for molding head guard.
WARNING
Blade cannot be guarded in horizontal position. Edge with guarded molding head or dado. Do not edge with blade.
2.Whenever possible, edge with arm locked at indexed 0° miter, so blade carriage is more likely to lock firmly.
3.Before edging, with saw unplugged and yellow key out, turn cutting tool by hand to make sure it does not strike guard or any other part of saw.
