Sliding Fence; Miter Cut; Bevel Cut - RIDGID MS1250 Owner's Manual

Sliding Fence

When beveling the blade to the left the
fence may have to be repositioned.
Loosen the fence locking knob and slide
the fence to the left. Adjust the fence as
close to the guard and link as possible to
provide maximum support for the work-
piece. Securely tighten knob and make a
dry run with the saw off to check for clear-
ance between the fence and guard. After
completing bevel cut(s) remember to slide
the fence back to the right.

Miter Cut

When a miter cut is required, loosen miter
lock knob, depress the index spring and
move the saw to the desired angle.
Retighten miter lock knob. Move with the
handle to the miter angle to make the cut.

Bevel Cut

When a bevel cut is required, loosen
bevel lock knob. Tilt the blade to desired
bevel angle. Retighten bevel lock knob.
Stand to the left side of the handle to
make the cut.
The bevel stop pin, found at the rear of the
saw, has three positions as shown. For
most cuts the 0 - 45° middle position is
used. Push the pin all the way in to utilize
the 0 - CM position when cutting crown
molding. Pull the pin all the way out to
allow the bevel adjustment to go beyond
the 0° and 45° stops.
