b. Loosen the yoke clamp arm. (See figure 16.1
c. Loosen (slightly) the two hex-head screws at location
shown in figure 19.
d. With the square in position shown in figure 17, shift
the yoke until the gap between the saw blade and
square is eliminated.
e. Tighten the yoke clamp arm. Then tighten the two hex-
head screws. (See figure 19.)
f. Recheck for heel (figure 17) to make sure that tight-
ening the hex-head screws did not affect the setting.
Several trial settings may be required.
g. Re-install the left-hand carriage cover.
NOTE: If the carriage bearings need adjust-
ing for proper tension on radial arm tracks,
refer to "Carriage Bearings °' under "Adjust°
ments to Compensate for Wear". If this adjust-
ment isrequired, be sure to recheck for "heel"
after completing the adjustment.
STEP SEVEN- DOUBLE CHECK ADJUSTMENTS AND
INSTALL GUARD
1. Recheck for correct adjustment on the saw by perform-
ing "STEPS ONE through SIX" consecutively.
2. If the cross-cut travel is not perfectly squared, proceed
with "STEP FOUR" and make all adjustments listed in
the "STEP FOUR" procedure.
ADJUSTMENT OF RIP SCALE INDICATORS.
NOTE: The rip scales and pointer are intended
to be used for quick settings. For greater ac-
curacy, take direct measurement between blade
and fence.
1. When the fence is in itsnormal position (next to the front
table), loosen the yoke clamp arm and index the yoke
90 ° from the cross-cut position so the blade is between
the mator and the fence. Lock the yoke by tightening
the yoke clamp arm.
2. Loosen the carriage lock knob and move the motor and
carriage assembly along the radial arm until the blade,
when spun by hand, just touches the front face of the
fence. Tighten the carriage lock knob. (See figure 21.)
3. The rip-scale indicator (on the right-hand side of radial
arm) should now be aligned with the "0 °'' mark on the
lower ("In-Rip") scale. If not, loosen the two indicator
attaching screws and shift the indicator until it is aligned
with the "0 °'° mark, then tighten the attaching screws.
(See figure 21.) When the indicator is set for the "In-Rip °'
(lower) scale, it will be correct for the "Out-Rip" (upper/
scale.
4. Loosen the carriage lock knob, move the motor and
carriage assembly outward on the arm, enough for the
blade to clear the fence. Loosen the yoke clamp arm
and index the yoke in the cross-cut position. Tighten the
yoke clamp arm.
5. Install the guard assembly, making sure the locating
notch on the guard engages with the mating "tongue"
on the motor housing. Tighten the guard clamp screw
finger tight. (See figure 22.)
ADJUSTING SPREADER ON ANTI-KICKBACK
ASSEMBLY.
1. Loosen the wing nut (figure 22) and raise the anti-kick-
back assembly to near maximum height. Tighten the
wing nut.
2. Sight (visually) to check for proper alignment of spreader
with saw blade, as shown in figure 22. If the spreader is
not aligned, adjust it as follows:
a. Loosen the two hex-head screws that secure the anti-
kickback mounting bracket, shift the spreader into
alignment with the blade and tighten the two hex-
head screws.

b. Recheck to make sure that tightening the screws did
not affect the setting. Several trial adjustments may
be required.
3. Reposition spreader to maximum down position and
(sight) check alignment. Adjust position (with two hex-
head screws) until in alignment throughout the range.
4. Periodically check and maintain sharp tips on anti-kick-
back pawls.
NOTE: Two de|ents are "pressed" into the lower
end of the spreader to facilitate positioning
when ripping. The setting is correct (for anti-
kickback pawls and spreader) when upper ends
of detents are even with the surface of the board
being ripped.
