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 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.

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 clamps, nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness and condition. Make sure the throat plate is in good condition and in position.

Check the blade guard assembly.

Clean cutting tools with a gum and pitch remover.

To maintain the table surfaces and rails, periodically apply paste wax to them and buff to provide smooth functioning. To prevent work from slipping during cutting operations, DO NOT wax the working face of the miter gauge.

Protect the saw blade by cleaning out sawdust from underneath the saw table and in the blade teeth. Use a resin solvent on the blade teeth.

Clean plastic parts only with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any aerosol or petroleum solvents.

LUBRICATION

This saw’s motor bearings have been packed at the factory with proper lubrication.

Clean screw threads and nuts with a solvent recommended for gum and pitch removal.

Lubricate screw threads, nuts, and bearing points (including those on the blade guard assembly and miter gauge).
