Work Clamp - RIDGID R41121 Manual Del Operador

ASSEMBLY
MOUNTING HOLES
See Figure 8.
WARNING:
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt
your miter saw to a workbench or an approved mi-
ter saw stand. If a miter saw stand is used, read op-
erator's manual and follow the instructions for the
miter saw stand. Never operate your miter saw on
the floor or in a crouched position. Failure to heed
this warning can result in serious personal injury.
The compound miter saw should be mounted to a firm sup-
porting surface such as a workbench, mounting board, or
miter saw stand. The saw base has four mounting holes. If
using bolts, they should be of sufficient length to accom-
modate the saw base, lock washers, hex nuts, and the thick-
ness of the workbench or other mounting surface. Tighten
all bolts or screws securely.
The hole pattern for mounting to a workbench is shown in
figure 8. Carefully check the workbench after mounting to
make sure that no movement can occur during use. If any
tipping, sliding, or walking is noted, secure the workbench
to the floor before operating.
BLADE WRENCH
See Figure 9.
A blade wrench is packed with this saw. One end of the
wrench is a Phillips screwdriver and the other end is a hex
key. Use the hex key end when installing or removing blade
and the Phillips end when removing or loosening screws.
A storage area for the blade wrench is located on the back
of the saw base.
DUST BAG
See Figure 10.
A dust bag is provided for use on the miter saw. It fits over the
exhaust port on the upper blade guard. To install it, squeeze
the two metal clips to open the mouth of the bag and slide
it on the exhaust port. Release the clips. The metal ring in
the bag should lock in between the grooves on the exhaust
port. To remove the dust bag for emptying, simply reverse
the above procedure.

WORK CLAMP

See Figure 11.
WARNING:
In some operations, the work clamp assembly may
interfere with the operation of the blade guard as-
sembly. Always make sure there is no interference
with the blade guard prior to beginning any cutting
operation to reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the
workpiece to the fence. It also prevents the workpiece from
creeping toward the saw blade. This is very helpful when
cutting compound miters.

Depending on the cutting operation and the size of the
workpiece, it may be necessary to use a C-clamp instead of the
work clamp to secure the workpiece prior to making the cut.
To install the work clamp:
