Safety

Major Hazards

Three major hazards are associated with using the radial arm saw for ripping, They are ouffeed zone hazard, kickback, and

wrong way feed.

This section only briefly explains these haz- ards. Read the ripping and crosscutting safe- ty sections of your saw manual for more detailed explanations of these and other haz- ards.

Outfeed Zone Hazard

,i_t,DANGER

If you reach around the blade to the outfeed side when ripping, and try to hold down or pull the workpiece through to complete a cut, the rotational force of the blade will pull your hand back into the blade.

Fingers will be cut off.

Safety

Kickback Hazard

Kickback is the uncontrolled p_opelling of the workpiece back toward the user' during ripping??

The cause of kickback is the binding or pinching of the blade in the workpiece?? Several conditions can cause the blade to bind or pinch.

When a workpiece kicks back, it could hit hard enough to cause internal organ injury, broken bones, or death.

Wrong Way Feed Hazard

Wrong way feed is ripping by feeding the workpiece into the outfeed side of the blade.

The rotational force of the blade can grab and pull the workpiece.

Before you can let go or pull back, the force could pull your hand along with the work- piece into the blade. Fingers or hand could be cut off.

The propelled workpiece could hit a by- stander, causing severe impact injury or death_

5.Have yellow key out and saw switched off before plugging in power cord.

Workpiece Safety Instructions

!. Cut only wood, woodlike or plastic mate- rials.. Do not cut met'_

2. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacking or placing workpieces edge to edge can cause user to lose control of workpieceo

9. Do not layout, assemble, or setup work with saw on, or while blade is spinning.

10.Keep saw table clean.

11.Store items away from saw. Do not climb on saw or stand on saw table to reach

items because saw can tip over.

Blade Safety Instructions

1. Use only blades marked for at least 3450

rpmo

2.Use only 10" or smaller diameter blades.

3.Use blades for their recommended cutting procedures.

4.Keep blade sharp and clean.

5. Do not overtighten blade nut because blade collar could warp??

6o Do not turn saw on and off in rapid sequence because blade can loosen.

7. Blade should stop within 15 seconds after saw is switched off. If blade takes longer, the saw needs repair. Contact Sears Service Center.

Guard Installation Steps

1. Remove existing table boards. Keep all screws, nuts and washers, including the lev- elling screws in the center of the front table. Discard the old table boards but keep the fence.

in the table do not line up on any holes in the saw base,

Using the rear screw holes as a drill guide, drill a .5/16" hole in the saw base for each of the two rear screws.

Remove the front table.

The U-Clips that were used as nuts for the rear screws must be moved to the new screw location?? Remove them from the saw and reinstall them on the holes you .just drilled,

gumd.

1. Lock motor at 0 ?? bevel (blade vertical).

2, Use one hand to lift cleaa" plastic guard;

use od_er hand to grasp fear of guard (below

dust elbow). Position guard so riving knife fuces front of saw.

Align Riving Knife to Blade

The goa! of this adjustment is to position the riving knife directly in line with the blade. Riving knife alignment is an important safe- ty factor, The riving knife rides in the kerf of the cut work_iece during ripping to keep the two sides of the workpiece from pinching on the blade. Blade pinching is a cause of kick- back,

1. Lock yoke in in-rip position (blade

towards column, motor towards front of

arm).

2.Lower arm until blade just clears table,

3.Unlock rip lock while holding up lower plastic guard, move yoke back until blade touches fence. Lock rip lock.

4.Loosen pawls/riving knife knob. Lower riving knife to the table and tighten knob. The riving "knife should rest fiat against fence,

5. If adjustment is needed:

1o)loosen riving knife bracket screw.

Z) slide riving knife so it rests against fence.

3.) secure riving knife bracket screw,

6, Raise riving knife and tighten pawls/riv- ing knife knob.
