Adjustments; Depth Stop - RIDGID R4141 Manual Del Operador

OPERATION
 Lift up the quick lock-release lever as shown in fig-
ure 12 and pull back on vise crank handle to slide open
the vise.
To tighten:
 Unplug the cut-off machine.
 Push the vise crank handle forward to slide the vise clamp
against the workpiece.

ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the
tool is unplugged from the power supply. Failure to
heed this warning could result in serious personal
injury.

DEPTH STOP

See Figure 14, page 21.
The depth stop limits the wheel's downward travel. It allows
the wheel to go below the machine base enough to maintain
full cutting capacities.
The adjustable depth stop is a bolt threaded into the pivot
bracket at the rear. To adjust the depth stop use the arbor
wrench supplied to raise or lower the depth stop bolt.
The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting
capacity for the 14 in. abrasive wheel provided with the
cut-off machine.
When the diameter of the wheel has been reduced due to
wear, it may be necessary to adjust the depth stop to provide
maximum cutting capacity. When a new abrasive wheel is
installed, it is necessary to check the clearance of the wheel
to the machine base support.
 Rotate the quick lock-release lever forward and push
down as shown in figure 13 to engage its threads with
the vise screw.
 Rotate the vise crank handle clockwise to tighten the vise
clamp against the workpiece.
 Unplug the cut-off machine.
 Loosen the depth stop bolt.
 The depth stop is lowered by turning the depth stop bolt
clockwise and raised by turning the bolt counterclock-
wise.
 By pressing down on the machine arm, lower the wheel
and check clearance and maximum cutting distance
(distance from adjustable stationary vise where wheel
enters) to front of machine base slot.
 Adjust if necessary.
 Tighten the depth stop bolt with the arbor wrench
provided.
CAUTION:
Do not start the cut-off machine without checking
for interference between the wheel and the machine
base support. Damage may result to the wheel if it
strikes the machine base support during operation
of the machine.
