1. If you are missing any part while putting
your saw together, do not continue assembly.
Contact your Sears Service Center or Retail
Store and get the missing part before continu-
ing assembly or trying to use the saw.
Complete parts listed are located at the end of
this manual. Use these lists to identify the
number of any missing part.
2. Sometimes small parts get lost in packag-
ing materials. Do not throw away any pack-
aging until your saw is put together. If you
are missing a part, check the packaging be-
fore contacting Sears.
3. Most parts of your radial arm saw will be
fastened together using truss head bolts, lock-
washers and hex nuts of the sizes shown.
(Figure 12) When different sizes are needed,
the instructions will include a sketch to help
you locate the correct size.

4. As you assemble your radial arm saw,
some of the holes in the parts will line up and
others will not. This happens because some
parts are used in other equipment or for other
purposes. Follow the instructions carefully.
The figures will show which holes should line
up in each step.
5. If it is difficult to get bolts through the
holes, you may need to use a Phillips screw-
driver to help shift the parts into place.
3. The hex bushing has a small flati_ea:pnli _
which matches a flat area on the elevatidn

Mounting the Motor
_WARNING: Plugging the saw in dur-
ing assembly can result in electrical
shock or your fingers, hand, or arm be-
ing cut off from blade contact. Do not
plug in the saw at any time during as-
sembly. The saw should only be
plugged in when it is to be used.
1. Loosen the guard clamp screw and remove
the guard from the motor.
2. Use the arbor wrenches to remove the
blade from the saw. The arbor shaft has left-
handed threads, so you will have to turn the
nut clockwise to loosen.
Attaching Handwheel
1. Locate the handwheel, hex bushing, screw,
and lockwasher.
3. Lock the rip lock.
4. Turn the handwheel in a clockwise direction
to raise the radial arm about 2 inches and
remove the styrofoam packing blocks.
