Supporting Long Workpieces; Clamping Wide Workpieces - RIDGID R4210 Manuel D'utilisation

OPERATION

SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECES

See Figures 41 - 42.
Long workpieces need extra support. Supports should be
placed along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support
should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and
miter table during the cutting operation. Use the work clamp
or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece.
NOTE: When making a compound miter cut as shown
in figure 41, it may be necessary to adjust
sliding miter fence to ensure proper clearance prior to
making the cut. Make sure the fence lock knob is tightened
securely to avoid interferance with the saw head.

CLAMPING WIDE WORKPIECES

See Figure 43.
When cutting wide workpieces, such as a nominal 2 in. x
12 in., boards should be clamped securely.
WARNING:
Never make a cut by pulling the saw toward you as
the blade can climb on top of the workpiece and
come toward you. Failure to heed this warning could
result in serious personal injury.
