6. The blade "Out-Rip" scale indicator on left
hand side of the radial arm is adjusted in
essentially the same manner as blade "In-
Rip" indicator, except position blade with 2
inches between fence and face of saw blade.
The rip-scale indicator should be positioned
to read 2 inches on upper portion of the
blade "Out-Rip" scale.
Note: With saw blade and fence in the position
shown, the upper portion of the blade "Out-Rip " scale
is used. If fence is moved to extreme rear position the
lower portion of blade "Out-Rip "scale is used.
7. Loosen the yoke lock handle, pull the
yoke index lever forward and return the
blade to the crosscut position.
Note: Blade is now aligned. It is important that you
periodically check alignment and adjustment to insure
accurate cuts and maintain safety of cutting proce-
dures.
Install Guard
The guard is a very important safety feature.
It covers a large part of the blade and helps
protect against severe cuts. Always use the
guard.
1. Lock motor at 0° bevel (blade vertical).
2. Rotate dust elbow 90° so that the opening
is facing to left.
3. Use one hand to lift clear plastic guard;
use other hand to grasp rear of guard (below
dust elbow). Position guard so riving knife
faces front of saw.
4. Tilt front of guard down about 45°. Place
over blade; rotate guard to level position.
Note: Make sure notch in guard fits onto tab on
motor. This will prevent movement of guard about
motor. Squeeze handle trigger to make sure it fully
raises clear plastic guard. If it does not, remove and
re-install guard, making sure that trigger mechanism
engages pull link on guard.
5. Tighten guard clamp screw.
