OPERATION
Lift the saw from the workpiece.
Clear corners out with a hand saw or sabre saw.
WARNING:
Never tie the lower blade guard in a raised position.
Leaving the blade exposed could lead to serious
injury.
ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE LEVER LOCK MECHANISM
See Figure 21, page 19.
The lever lock mechanism located at the bevel bracket and
at the base of the elevation bracket may be adjusted to the
degree of leverage the operator prefers.
Pull the lever upward until it is fully loosened.
Gently pry the retaining clip from the cap nut with a small
flat blade screwdriver. Save the retaining clip.
Pull the lever off the cap nut and adjust the lever loca-
tion.
Tighten the lever to check for desired tightness.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical RIDGID
ment parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
Do not abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage
tool as well as workpiece.
WARNING:
The tool should never be connected to a power
supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or
when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool
will prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious injury.
GENERAL
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
LENGTH OF CUT SCALE
See Figure 20, page 19.
The saw is equipped with a length of cut scale on its base. It
is parallel with the saw blade and you can use it to measure
the distance the blade cuts into the material.
NOTE: Six inches is the maximum length of cut that you can
measure. Also, it is accurate only when the depth of cut is
set at full maximum depth.
If this is the desired tightness, then reinstall the retaining
clip on the cap nut, using a flat blade screwdriver to tap
it into place.
NOTE: Reinstall the retaining clip with the bow up.
If the lever is not tight enough, repeat the above steps.
WARNING:
replace-
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petro-
®
leum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in
contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals
that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spack-
ling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear
and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips
and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended
using this tool for extended work on these types of materials.
However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is ex-
tremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields during power tool operation or when
blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust
mask.
