RIDGID R4516 manual Making a compound bevel miter cut, Making a Large Panel cut, Bevel RIP CUT

Page 30

OPERATION

Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge flush against the rip fence. Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.

Once the blade has made contact with the workpiece, use the hand closest to the rip fence to guide it. Make sure the edge of the workpiece remains in solid contact with both the rip fence and the surface of the table. If ripping a narrow piece, use a push stick and/or push blocks to move the piece through the cut and past the blade.

When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece.

Lock the bevel locking lever.

Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.

Set the miter gauge to the desired angle and tighten the lock knob.

Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning on the saw.

Turn the saw on.

Let the blade build up to full speed before moving the workpiece into the blade.

Hold the workpiece firmly with both hands on the miter gauge and feed the workpiece into the blade.

Note: The hand closest to the blade should be placed on the miter gauge lock knob and the hand farthest from the blade should be placed on the workpiece.

When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece.

WARNING:

Never make freehand cuts (cuts without the miter gauge or rip fence), which can result in serious injury.

Place a support the same height as the top of the saw table behind the saw for the cut work. Add supports to the sides as needed.

Depending on the shape of the panel, use the rip fence or miter gauge. If the panel is too large to use either the rip fence or the miter gauge, it is too large for this saw.
