INDEXING
Experienced
operators
of precision
equipment,
such as this
Craftsman
Radial
Saw,
normally
acquire
the habit
of
indexing
the machine
in one direction
only, whenever
a
new setting is made in preparation
for a different
operation.
For
example:
when
moving
the radial
arm to a new
position,
it is advisable to move it slightly
past the desired
index position,
then return it slowly and carefully
to latch
and lock it. Swivel
indexing
and bevel indexing
can be
accomplished
in a similar manner. This indexing
technique
tends
to
neutralize
any
stresses
imposed
upon
saw
components
and contributes
to the high degree of accuracy
the saw is capable of producing
when operated expertly.

OPERATION
No. 2 -- MITER
CROSSCUT
Miter crosscutting
is the process of sawing a board at any
angle other than a 90 ° (square) cut. The 45 ° miter angle is
a popular
one, since
two
boards
cut to 45 ° can be
assembled
to form a 90 ° corner for producing
a square or
rectangular
frame. The radial arm is set to the desired angle
of cut; yoke and bevel settings indexed at 0 ° (and locked)
as in square crosscutting.
The board being cut is held firmly
against the fence (guide) and the carriage pulled forward
along
the radial arm to perform
the desired
cut. As in
"Operation
No. 1", the carriage should be returned
to full
rear position
and the saw blade allowed
to come to a
complete
stop before removing
the boards from saw table.
OPERATION
No. 3 -
BEVEL
CROSSCUT
Bevel crosscutting
is the process of sawing at 90 ° (square)
across the board with
the saw blade set at an angle other
than 90 ° to the saw table. The radial arm and yoke are
indexed at 0 ° and locked, but the bevel is set to the desired
angle of cut. The board is held firmly
against the fence and
the carriage pulled forward
along the radial arm to produce
the cut. The carriage
should be returned
to full rearward
position
and the saw blade allowed to come to a complete

In-Ripping.
The radial arm and bevel are indexed at 0 ° and

but the yoke is turned
90-degrees
in a clockwise
direction
(viewed from above) from the crosscut position.
Thus, when standing
in front of the saw, the blade would
be rotating
counterclockwise.
After

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH
"OFF"
AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING
OR LUBRICATING
YOUR SAW.
When
you
receive
your
new Craftsman
radial
saw, it
requires
no lubrication.
The radial saw has been partially
aligned and all bearings are lubricated
and sealed for life. In
time,
however,
in order
to keep your
saw in perfect
working
order and accurate, it will be necessary to lubricate
and realign.
In fact,
your
radial
saw needs more of a
cleaning than a lubrication.
Make sure the teeth of
always sharp. To sharpen;

LUBRICATION
Your saw is precision
built and should be kept clean and
properly
lubricated.
Before describing
the various points
which
may periodically
require
lubrication,
IT IS MORE
IMPORTANT
TO
FIRST
MENTION
THE
VARIOUS
POINTS WHICH SHOULD
NOT BE LUBRICATED.
NO LUBRICATION
REQUIRED
OIL
Do not lubricate carriage ball bearings or motor bearings as
these are sealed ball bearings and require no added
lubrication.
Do not lubricate between radial arm cap and radial arm.
PERIODICALLY
LUBRICATE
THESE POINTS
Use SAE No. 10W-30 automotive
engine oil and refer to
Parts List for locations.
Apply
a few drops of oil along the
swivel latch pin only if the pin has a tendency
to stick.
Remove the left-hand
carriage cover and use oil sparingly
to
prevent it from getting on the ball bearings or races.
A light film
of oil should
be wiped
on the face of the
column
tube and keyway
to lubricate
the fit between the
column tube, the key and column support.
Apply
a few drops of oil to the bearing
surfaces of the
elevation
crank shaft assembly.
An oil hole is provided
in
the
elevation
shaft
bearing
bracket
to
facilitate
the
lubrication
of the bearing support.
The
thread
on the elevation
shaft
assembly
can be
lubricated
through
the oil hole in the center of the radial
arm cap.
CAUTION:
Excessive
