To Set The Rip Fence Scale Indicator To The Blade; To Use The Miter Gauge - RIDGID R4520 Operator's Manual

OPERATION
TO SET THE RIP FENCE SCALE INDICATOR
TO THE BLADE
See Figure 58.
Use the indicator on the rip fence to position the fence along
the scale on the front rail.
NOTE: The anti-kickback pawls and blade guard assembly
must be removed to perform this adjustment. Reinstall the
blade guard assembly when the adjustment is complete.
Begin with the blade at a zero angle (straight up).
 Unplug the saw.
 Loosen the rip fence by lifting the locking handle.
 Set the rip fence gently against the blade tip edge.
NOTE: Position the low fence so that it faces away from
the blade.
 Loosen screws and adjust the indicator so that it points
to the "zero" line on the right rip scale on the front rail.
Retighten screws.
 Check the dimension and the rip fence.
 Repeat this adjustment on the other side of the blade.
 If the indicator cannot be set to zero after performing
the adjustments described above, the position of the
rail must be adjusted. See Installing the Rails Onto the
Saw Table earlier in this manual.
NOTE: When using the low fence the rip fence scale indicator
will be incorrect. Always use a tape measure to set the fence
to the correct position when using the low fence.

TO USE THE MITER GAUGE

See Figure 59.
The miter gauge provides greater accuracy in angled cuts.
For very close tolerances, test cuts are recommended.
There are two miter gauge grooves, one on either side of
the blade. When making a 90° cross cut, you can use either
miter gauge groove. When making a beveled cross cut (the
blade tilted in relation to the table) the miter gauge should
be located in the slot on the right so that the blade is tilted
away from the miter gauge and your hands.
The miter gauge can be turned 60° to the right or left.
 Slide the miter gauge in the miter gauge slot.
 Loosen the lock knob by turning it counterclockwise.
 Pull out the stop pin and rotate the gauge until the desired
angle is reached on the scale.
 Retighten the lock knob by turning it clockwise.
