saw blode cuts through the work.
The carriage will tend to move toward the operator ю be
prepared to retfroin It by keeping your arm straight from
the shoulder to the wrist. When the cot Is coraptefe, the saw
should be returned to the back of the radial arm end the
switch key turned “Off”. It will be notieed, that the
saw blode lands to laed Hself rttroueh Л® work
due to the rotation of the blade ond the direction «
feed. Therefore, the operator should develop the habit
of holding his right arm straight from the shoulder
to the wrist. After this method is used a few limes the oper­
ator will find that h is necessary to roll or rotate the body
from the waist op. (f this method в followed. It will become
apparent thot very little effort is required on the part of the
operator to move the saw blade through the work, and in
molt cases, the right arm is used merely to control the rate of
feed of the saw through the board. It will also be found that
when cross-cutting a thick board it will be necessary to retard
movement of the saw through the work. By holding the right
orm (right bond normoliy grips the sow handle) straight, the
operotor can easily control the rote of feed, thus preventing
the saw blade from overfeeding and stalling the saw motor.
This must be avoided whenever possible. In some eases H moy
become necessary to cross-cut long boards which extend
over the saw table on one, or both sides. This con саше
buckling of the board and bind the sow during the cut. To
eliminate this condition the ends of the board should be sup­
ported. Figure 27 illustrates о typical support which con be
made ond used to facilitate cross-cutting of tong lumber.

Pipping is the sawing of wood with the groin. It b always
done with the help of the fence as a guide to position ond
maintain the work at the correct widffi for the cut. Because
the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a reoson-
ably straight edge to moke sliding contact with the fence.
Also, the work must make solid contact with the table so that
it will not wobble or rock. Provide о straight edge, even if
this means iemporory nailing of an auxiliary straight edge
board to the work. If work piece is warped, turn the hollow
side down.
Use of the sow guard is always recommended; and the anfi-
feickbock pawl assembly should always be used in both In-rip
or ouf-rip operaWons. Before ripping and after Hie saw has
been positioned prior to cutting, the saw guard and onti-
kfcfcbock powl assembly must be properly odiwsted* Loosen
the wing nut holding the guard to the motor and lower
the
nose of the guard to within %" above the top surface of
the board to be cut. Retighten the wing nut securely.
CAUTION
The nose of the guord refers to that end of the
guard which is opposite to the end which mounts the
oflfi'fcickbock paw! ossembly. Always rip from the
nose of the guard. See Warning label on guard.
At the opposite end of the guard, loosen the wing screw
holding the anti-kitkbock powl assembly and lower the
assembly UfiHi the tips of the pawls are t/8" below the top
surface of the board to be cut. fietlghten the wing screw
mcurely.
IH-RIPPINO-fn-rip refers to a position when the blade is
between the motor ond the fence and parallel to the fence.
See Figure 28. To ploce the saw in this position, unlock the
yoke, disengage the swivel latch pin and rotate the yoke 90®
clockwise (viewing H from Hie carrioge) unfit the swivel lotch
pin automatic 0!ly indexes the yoke 90®. Relock the yoke.
See "Adjustment of Pointers” to check accuracy of "In-Rip"
scale reoding. Position the motor on the radial arm unHl the
pointer on the "In-Rip” scale indicates the desired width of
the ffnidied cut board. Tighten the carriage lock knob se­
curely. Position the discharge elbow on the guard so that
sawdust will be blown toward the rear of the sow. Turn the
sow "On" and lower the sow blade until H cuts into the table
top about 1/32".. Turn the saw "Off", Now adjust the
sow guord ond anti-kickback pawl assembly as described
in the porograph "Ripping". The board to be ripped
must be fed into the sow blade from the right side of
the table, therefore, the normal position for the operator
is also at the right side of the toble. With the left hand safely
clear of the blade and holding the board to be ripped down
against the table and against the face of the fence as a
guide, use the right hand to feed the board into the sow. Hie
left hand should remain stationary, serving as a guide only.
As the right hond approaches the left Hand, hold
a push stick
with the right hand to complete the cut. Do not leave a long
board unsupported so that the spring of the board causes h
to shift on the fofale. A support like that described in "Cross­
Cutting" eon be used to support the board behind the blade;
and If the board is very long, use another support in front of
the sow. Ripped boards up to wide can be cut in
the In-Rip position,
OUT-RIPPING—Out-fip refers to a position when the motor
is between the blade and the fence. Normoliy, this position
is only used when the width of the required ripped board
cannot be cut from the ¡n-rip postfion. Ripped boards up to
1814" wide con be cut in the out-rip position when the
fence is against the front table. If the fence Is moved to the
extreme reor position agolnst the table clamps, ripped
boards up to 25f4" wide con be cut. To place the saw
in the out-rip position, the yoke roust be rotated and indexed
90° counterclockwise from the cross-cut position and locked.
The same procedure for sowing is used except that now
the operator stands ot the left side of the table ond o push
stick is normally not required.
