RIDGID SP6263 manual Cutting Aids, H.A. Requirements

Cutting Aids

Clamp the featherboard to the front table, so that the angled edge of the featherboard is against the workpiece on the infeed side of the blade. Do not clamp the featherboard against the cut off part (out-feed side) of the workpiece. If clamped to the outfeed side, the featherboard can squeeze the kerf closed, put binding pressure on the blade, and cause kickback.

Straight Edge for Irregular Workpiece

WARNING

If you try to rip an irregular workpiece, it could bind blade and cause kick- back.

If the workpiece you want to rip does not have a straight edge, attach a straight-edged board to the workpiece:

a)place irregular side of workpiece against fence

b)put straight-edged board on top of work- piece and against fence

c)tack straight edged board to work piece.

Note: Straight-edged board must not extend beyond leading end of workpiece and should cover workpiece width only enough to pass between blade and fence.

Note: Use fence at least as high as combined heights of workpiece and straightedged board.

O.S.H.A. Requirements

If this radial arm saw is to be used in a com- mercial setting it must be outfitted to meet O.S.H.A. (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards. To meet these standards optional accessories may have to be purchased. Contact RIDGID at 1-800-4- RIDGID if you need help purchasing these accessories.
