Positioning Table Supports/installing Front Table/Leveling Front Table
Note: The goal in adjusting the table supports and leveling the front table is to make sure that the table is
the same distance from the radial arm at all points. This ensures that when the table and blade are installed
the clearance between them will be equal at all points.
Positioning Table Supports
1. Release bevel lock lever, move bevel
index lever to the left, raise motor with eleva-
tion crank and rotate the motor to position
arbor shaft down. Tighten bevel lock lever.
2. Unlock and hold miter/arm lock lever in
index release position as shown. Position
arm against left stop (approximately 50°
miter). Loosen carriage lock knob and posi-
tion arbor shaft directly over left hand chan-
nel. Lock miter/arm lock lever.
Note: For safety reasons in accordance with the
UL standard, miter stops at 50° left and 90° right
have been provided to prevent 360° rotation of
the radial arm.
3. Slide the arbor wrench handle between
end of motor shaft and table support to act
as a feeler gauge. Carefully lower the motor
with elevation crank until the end of shaft is
just touching the arbor wrench. The wrench
should slide back and forth with only slight
resistance. Tighten screw "A".
Note: Do not change this elevation setting until
both left and right hand table support channels
have been adjusted.
4. Unlock miter/arm lock lever. Move arm
and carriage to screw "B". Lock miter/arm
lock lever. Adjust position of table support so
that the arbor wrench just slips between the
end of the motor shaft and the support.
Tighten screw "B".
5. Move arm and carriage to right hand table
support and level in the same manner as in
step 3 & 4.
6. Recheck both support channels to make
sure that tightening screws did not affect the
accuracy of the adjustment.
7. Elevate motor and return motor to hori-
zontal position to provide clearance for
installation of front work table.
