CHECK ALIGNMENT USING LASER OF ARM AND BLADE See Figure 35. The laser can be used as a quick, accurate routine check for the alignment of your Radial Arm Saw, The saw should be aligned according to the procedures outlined in the Adjustments Section of this manual, • Using a two-foot length of 1 x 12 in, board and an accurate framing square, draw a fine line perpendicular to the edge of the board using the fence as a guide. Position the marked board against the fence, • With the guard in place, align the blade arbor at the CENTER of the width of the board. • Raise the arm so that the blade is approximately 5 in, above the surface of the board. • Tighten the carriage lock knob to prevent the carriage from moving, • Carefully start the motor and observe the red laser line. By shifting the board, align the laser line with the line you drew on the board. If the laser line aligns parallel with the drawn line, the saw alignment is acceptable, • When making adjustments to the radial arm saw, use ONLY the procedures outlined in the adjustments section of this manual, using a framing square and the saw UNPLUGGED. Do not attempt to perform adjustments while using the laser as an indication of alignment. • Save the board with the drawn line for future routine alignment checks, Fig. 35 43 CRAFTSI4RX_ RADIALSAW315.220100

CHECK
ALIGNMENT
OF
ARM
AND
BLADE
USING
LASER
See Figure 35.
The laser can be used as a quick, accurate routine
check for the alignment
of your Radial Arm Saw, The
saw should be aligned according
to the procedures
outlined in the
Adjustments
Section
of this manual,
Using a two-foot
length of 1 x 12 in, board and an
accurate framing
square, draw a fine line perpen-
dicular to the edge of the board using the fence as
a guide. Position the marked board against the
fence,
With the guard in place, align the blade arbor at the
CENTER of the width of the board.
Raise the arm so that the blade is approximately
5 in, above the surface of the board.
Tighten the carriage lock knob to prevent the
carriage from moving,
Carefully
start the motor and observe the red laser
line. By shifting the board, align the laser line with
the line you drew on the board. If the laser line
aligns parallel with the drawn
line, the saw align-
ment is acceptable,
When making adjustments
to the radial arm saw,
use ONLY
the procedures
outlined in the adjust-
ments section of this manual, using a framing
square and the saw UNPLUGGED.
Do not attempt
to perform adjustments
while using the laser as an
indication of alignment.
Save the board with the drawn line for future
routine alignment
checks,
