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.

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.
