To complete setting up yoursaw, continuewiththe
Adjustmentprocedures.The adjustmentsshouldbe
checked regularly,depending on usage. Yoursaw will
provideaccurate cuts withfine tolerancesas longas
you protectthe accuracywith frequent alignment
checks. The radialarm sawcan performa wide range
of highquality cuts.
The final step willbe connecting the control cut
device. The control cut device offers many benefits.
As it increases operator control, it eliminates the risk
in a cross cutof the saw "climbing" out and over the
workpiece at the operator. Feed control of the blade
as it cuts through the workplace increases, as does
the accuracy of the cut. The following adjustments
need to be completed before the control cut device is
connected.
Your radial arm saw isdesignedto perform a variety of
complex cutswith fine tolerances. A weekly alignment
checkensuresthatyoursawcan performwithprecision.
It takes about ten minutes and the results is batter
performance and a longer life for your saw.
Perform the checks in the order given. If you miss an
adjustment, go back to the missed adjustment and
repeat all stepsfrom that pointforward.
_, CAUTION: Failure to check alignments and
performthe adjustmentsin the initialset upor on
a frequent basiscan resultin poorperformanceor
machine damage.
