With the fence in its normal position (next to the front table), loosen the yoke clamp handle, pult on swivel latch pin knob and rotate the yoke as shown to index the yoke 90 ° from the cross cut position.

This will !ocate the saw blade between the motor

and the fence. Lock the yoke by tightening the yoke clamp handle.

Position carriage until the edge of the blade, when spun by hand, just touches the front face of the fence. The rip-scale indicator (on the right hand side of radial arm) should now read "0" inches on upper

portion of the blade "In-Rip" scale. If not, loosen screws and shift the indicator until it is aligned with the "0" mark, then tighten the screws.

NOTE: With the saw blade and fence in the position

shown, the upper portion of the blade "In Rip"

scale is used. If the fence is re-located at the

extreme rear position, the lower portion of the

blade "In-Rip" scale would be used.

f.

The blade

"Out-Rip"

 

scale

indicator

on

the

left

 

hand side of the radial arm is adjusted in essentially

 

the same manner as the blade "'In-Rip" indicator,

 

except the blade should be as shown. With 2 inches

 

measured

between

the

 

fence

and the

face

of

saw

 

blade,

the

rip-scale

indicator

should

be positioned

 

to read 2 inches on the upper portion of the blade

 

"Out-Rip"

scale.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE:

With the saw blade and fence in the position

 

shown,

the upper

portion

of the blade "Out-Rip"

 

scale is used. If the fence is moved to rear position

 

(at the rear of rear table) the lower portion of the

 

blade

"'Out-Rip'"

scale

is used.

 

 

 

 

g.Loosen the yoke clamp handle, pull on the swivel latch pin knob and return the blade to the 90 °

position.
