Squaring Crosscut Travel
The blade must travel perpendicular to the
fence along the radial arm in order for
crosscuts to be accurate. If the radial arm is
not perpendicular to the fence, there will be
a slight miter angle in all crosscuts.
_lb WARNING: Plugging in the saw
during alignment can result in your
fingers, hands, or arm being cut off from
blade contact. Do not plug in the saw at
any time during alignment. The saw
should only be plugged in when it is to be
used.
1. Place the radial arm in the 0° miter posi-
tion and lock the miter lock.
2. Place the blade on the arbor shaft with a
blade collar on each side. Make sure that the
directional arrow is on the outside of the
blade, and the teeth are pointing down at the
front side of the blade. (Figure 104)
//
_1_ CAUTION: Overtightening the
arbor nuts may cause the blade collars
to warp and the blade to wobble while
cutting. Use the arbor wrenches to
tighten the arbor nuts but do not over-
tighten.
4. Unlock the rip lock and move the motor
until the blade is over the front table.
5. Lock the rip lock, miter lock and bevel lock.
6. Unlock the table loc!_ and remove the rear
table, spacer and fence.
7. Lower the radial arm until the blade is just
above the front table.
8. Lay a framing square on the front table
with the long edge along the back of the table
and the short edge alongside the blade.
(Figure 105)
9. Move the framing square toward the blade
until a tooth of the blade just touches the
edge of the square. (Figure 105)
10. Mark this tooth with a pencil.
11. Unlock the rip lock and move the motor
back and forth along the radial arm. Do not
move the framing square.
12. If the marked tooth just touches the
square at all points, no change is needed. Go
to step 22, or
If the marked tooth moves away from the
square or tries to "walk" on top of it, go to
step 13. (Figure 105)

3. Place the arbor nut on the arbor shaft and
use the arbor wrenches to tighten. The arbor
shaft has left-handed threads, so you will
have to turn the nut counterclockwise to
tighten. Do not overtighten.
