\totor Specifications of Toolkrafl Model 910 Radial Arm Saw-
I H.P., 115.230 volts, 12.4.6.2 A., 3450 R.P.M., 60 cycle, AC only,
single phase, capacitor type.
CAUTION: This unit is shipped wired for 115 voll current (s£e
Part 5 of this section for converting to 230 voll current).
NOW MAKE TABLE ADJUSTMENTS:
1. All table adjustments are made from the top. See Figs. 9, 10, II
and 12. The bolts holding the table support to the side of the base
are spring loaded and set at the factory. The table supports must
be
able to move up or down for adjusting. Do not tighten these
bolts down securely.
2. Make a flat wood feeler gage about '4" thick x 3" wide x 10" long.
See Figs.
II and 12.
3. Turn the rotating arm toward yOur right to the 90° position on the
miter scale and lock it in place. The saw blade should be in the front
so that it travels parallel to the table boards across the front of
the table.
4. Make sure that all clamping levers are in the locked position (Ro-
tating Arm Clamp, Yoke Clamp, and Bevel Tilt Lock). Slide the
cutting head to your right as far as it will go and lock it with the
carriage clamp. Remove the guard and raise or lower the cutting
head with the Elevating Crank Handle until the blade just touches
the wood feeler gage and tighten the right hand front table lock
screw.
Do not raise or lower the cutting head again until you have
finished the
table adjustment.
5. Release the carriage clamp, slide the cutting head as far to the left
as it will go and lock the carriage clamp. Raise or lower the table
with the left hand front adjustment screw until the blade just
touches the feeler gage. See Figs. 6 and ) 1. To raise the table,
loosen the locking screw and turn the adjusting screw clockwise. To
lower the table, turn the adjusting screw counterclockwise and tighten
the locking screw.
Then lock the left hand front locking screw.
6. Turn the rotating arm to 45° left hand miter position and lock it in
this
location. Slide the carriage to the rear as far as it will go.
Unlock the yoke clamp, turn the yoke until the blade is parallel to
the rear of the table and lock it. Repeat the adjusting operation as
described in Part 5, and shown in Fig. 12, using the adjusting screw
and locking screw in the left hand rear.
7. Turn the rotating arm to 45° right hand miter position and repeat
adjustment described in Parts 5 and 6 using the adjusting and
locking screws in the right hand rear.
S. By loosening the table clamp screws, you may rearrange the table
sections as you desire without disturbing the parallel adjustment.
