If saw blade travel is not 9[...]

23 Fig. 54 Fig. 55 Fig. 56 REMOVING “HEELING” IN SAW CUT Even though the cuttinghead travel may be perfectly aligned at 90° to the fence, the blade itself may not be 90° or square with the fence, as shown in Fig. 54. This condition is known as “heeling.” T o check and adjust, proceed as follows: 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE. 2.[...]

24 ADJUSTING BLADE GUARD AND ANTI-KICKBACK ROD On all ripping and plowing operations, the infeed side of the blade guard is lower ed so that it just clears the material. This will prevent the material fr om being lifted off the table. Also, lower the kickback r od (A) Fig. 57, so that the kickback fingers (B) are below surface of material. Rod (A) [...]

25 CROSS-CUTTING The first operation which should be learned on the radial saw is cross-cutting. Cr oss-cutting consists of supporting the workpiece against the fence and pulling the saw blade through the material at right angles to it. When cross-cutting, the track arm (A) should be indexed at “0” and the track arm clamp handle (B) Fig. 62, ti[...]

26 Fig. 63 Fig. 64 Fig. 65 B A B C A COMPOUND MITER CUTTING Compound miter cutting is performed in the same manner as miter cutting except the saw blade is also tilted to cut a bevel. The settings and operation are similar to miter cutting except that the blade is first tilted to the desired angl e on the bevel scale befor e it is clamped in place.[...]
