ADJUSTING SAW TRAVEL

SQUARE WITH FENCE

The 12” Radial Arm Saw is equipped with 90 degree and

45 degree positive miter stops. This feature makes it

possible to produce accurate miter cuts and square

cross-cuts at all times.

To do accurate work, the saw blade travel must be 90

degrees to the fence. If saw blade travel is not 90

degrees to the fence, this means that the track arm is not

properly aligned.

To check and adjust, proceed as follows:

1. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.

2. Remove blade guard assembly and saw blade from

the cuttinghead assembly (A) Fig. 50, and insert wrench

(B) between arbor flanges in place of blade as shown.

Tighten arbor nut.

3. Place a steel square (C) Fig. 50, against fence as

shown, and lower cuttinghead assembly (A) so that

wrench (B) just clears the table top.

4. Pull cuttinghead assembly (A) Fig. 50, along square

(C). If wrench (B) does not travel parallel to the square

(C), the following adjustment is necessary.

5. Remove three screws (D) Fig. 51, and remove miter

scale (E).

6. Loosen three screws (F) Fig. 52, and loosen track

arm clamp handle (G).

7. To move front end of track arm to the right, loosen

set screw (H) Fig. 53, and tighten set screw (J). To move

front end of track arm to the left, loosen set screw (J) and

tighten set screw (H).

8. When the cuttinghead travels parallel to the square,

tighten three screws (F) Fig. 52. Replace miter scale (E)

Fig. 51, and replace and tighten three screws (D). Make

certain the zero graduation mark on the scale (E) lines up

with the pointer (K).

9. Replace blade and blade guard assembly.
