If you have one of these take notice.
On the flip over be very careful of where the cables enter the grip on the machine.
They always break which can be a costly rewire. Bulk this point up with silicone or pvc tape. Don't store or move with this point on the ground.
Radial arm saw owners: Take the panel of on the right hand side to expose the belt. 3 screws. You will see the belt.
Take damp wood as chunky as possible and cut watching for any belt slip.
There is a screw (hex bolt on the back of the housing. You need to unscrew tge motor screws slightly and adjust tge rear screw.
Reason: Belts are fitted too tight and destroy the motor bearings.
So release the tension a little. Ensuring the belt wont slip... Ensuring the life of the saw..:)
