ASSEMBLING ACCESSORY

33-967 MOULDING

CUTTERHEAD GUARD

To assemble the accessory 33-967 Moulding Cutterhead

Guard to your Radial Arm Saw, proceed as follows:

1. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.

2. Remove blade, and blade guard assembly.

3. Move motor so that the arbor is in the down position,

as shown in Fig. 60.

4. Place guard (A) Fig. 60, on motor with stud on motor

inserted through hole in guard. Thread special nut (B) on

motor stud and fasten with screwdriver, as shown in Fig.

60.

5. When using the moulding cutterhead, the motor

should be positioned as shown in Fig. 61. The height of

the guard (A) Fig. 61, can be adjusted by loosening three

screws (C).

CROSS-CUTTING

The first operation which should be learned on the radial

saw is cross-cutting. Cross-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,

tightened. The fence should be clamped between the

table boards. The saw blade is to be to the left and

behind the fence. The workpiece is placed on the table

and butted against the fence. The saw blade should be

clear of the fence and table when the machine is turned

on. Then the saw blade is lowered until it lightly cuts into

the table surface. The operator should position himself a

little to the left of the machine for better visibility while

cutting. Pull the saw blade across the work, just far

enough to cut it off, and return the saw blade to its

starting position. Wait for the blade to stop before

touching the cut off piece. CAUTION: The operator must

always be conscious of where his hands are; that they

are clear of the blade and holding the workpiece firmly.

As an added measure of operator safety, since the

splitter and anti-kickback fingers are not used in the

cross-cutting operation, the anti-kickback rod (C) can be

turned upside down and locked in place so the rod just

clears the workpiece. In this position the rod can act as

shows a cross-cutting operation on a radial saw. The op-

erator should always be sure to return the cutterhead

carriage to the full rear position after each cross-cut

operation.

NOTE: When cross-cutting material more than 1” thick,

the fence must be positioned immediately behind the

fixed front table board.
