MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
When servicing use only identical RIDGID
replacement 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.
Periodically check all fasteners for tightness. Retighten as
necessary.
ADJUSTING THE LOCK LEVER TENSION
See Figure 20, page 18.
If the support arm can slide up or down or be removed from
the support arm bracket when the support arm lock levers
are locked, the lock lever tension needs to be adjusted.
To adjust:
 Use a wrench to slightly loosen the nut.
 Loosen the screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Do not
remove.
 Adjust tensioning dial. Turn dial clockwise to add tension
and counterclockwise to reduce tension.
 When the desired tension is achieved, tighten the screw
and nut to secure.
NOTE: FIGURES (ILLUSTRATIONS) START ON PAGE 12 AFTER
FRENCH AND SPANISH LANGUAGE SECTIONS.
WARNING:
The saw mounting brackets are designed to fit
snugly over the top rails with locking levers in
the open position. With the locking levers in the
lowered (locked) position, you should not be able
to slide the saw mounting bracket assembly along
the top rails or remove the bracket assembly from
the top rails. If the saw mounting brackets will not
fit over top rails, or if the brackets can be removed
from the top rails when the levers are locked,
remove bracket assembly immediately and adjust
bracket adjustment screw. Failure to heed this
warning may result in serious personal injury.
SAW MOUNTING BRACKET ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 21, page 18.
If the saw and bracket assembly can slide over the top rails
or be removed from the top rails when the levers are locked,
the bracket adjustment screws need to be tightened. If the
saw and bracket assembly will not fit over top rails, the
bracket adjustment screw needs to be loosened.
NOTE: The saw should be removed from the mounting
brackets before attempting to tighten or loosen the bracket
adjustment screws.
To adjust:
 Use a wrench to slightly loosen the nut.
 Turn the screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Rotate
clockwise if the bracket assembly needs to be tightened
or counterclockwise if the assembly needs to be
loosened.
NOTE: If locking lever on saw mounting bracket cannot
easily be pushed down into the closed position, the
adjustment screw is too tight. Do not force locking lever
into the closed position. Loosen the adjustment screw.
 Install the bracket on the front top rail then lower bracket
to allow the rear clamp of the bracket to seat fully over
the rear top rail.
NOTE: The mounting bracket should fit snugly over the
top rails when in the open position.
 When the correct position is achieved, wrench-tighten
the nut to secure.
 Repeat with the second mounting bracket.
