OPERATION
WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the
tool is unplugged from the power supply and the
switch is in the OFF position. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious personal injury.
POSITIVE 0° BEVEL STOP
See Figures 20 - 21, page 19.
The saw has a positive 0° bevel stop that has been factory
adjusted to assure 0° angle of the saw blade when making 90°
cuts. However, misalignment can occur during shipping.
To check positive 0° bevel stop:
Unplug the saw.
Place the saw in an upside down position on a
workbench.
NOTE: This position is for making adjustments only. Never
operate the saw in this position.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical RIDGID
ment parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.

Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel
adjustment lever securely locked in place can
result in serious injury.
