RIDGID R4112 Operator's Manual page 17

ASSEMBLY
After you have become familiar with using the laser guide,
you will be able to remove, cut, or leave your mark on the
work surface. Practice will teach you the correct position for
aligning the laser line with your mark.
NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of the compound miter saw. This is intentional so
that we can clearly show points being made in the illustra-
tions. Never operate the saw without all guards securely
in place and in good operating condition.
SQUARING THE BLADE TO THE FENCE
See Figures 14 - 20
 Unplug the saw.
 Pull the saw arm all the way down and engage the lock
pin to hold the saw arm in transport position.
 Lift the miter lock lever, then depress and hold the detent
release button to release the miter table.
 Rotate the miter table until the scale indicator is posi-
tioned at 0° and the control arm is seated in the positive
notch.
 Release the detent release button, then push the miter
lock lever down to secure the miter table.
 Loosen bevel lock knob and set saw arm at 0° bevel
(blade set 90° to miter table). Tighten bevel lock knob.
 Lay a square flat on the miter table. Place one leg of the
square against the fence. Slide the other leg of the square
against the flat part of saw blade.
NOTE: Make sure that the square contacts the flat part
of the saw blade, not the blade teeth.
 The edge of the square and the saw blade should be
parallel as shown in figure 16.
 If the front or back edge of the saw blade angles away
from the square as shown in figures 17 and 18, adjust-
ments are needed.
 Remove the sliding miter fences from the fence. See
figure 14.
