To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect the tool from power source before cleaning or servicing, before installing and
removing accessories, before adjusting and when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
KEEP MACHINE CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All
plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER
use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or
otherwise damage the material.
LUBRICATION & RUST PROTECTION
Apply hardwood flooring paste wax to the machine table occasionally
or use a commercially available protective product designed for this
purpose. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and safety.
MAINTENANCE REMINDERS
Wear certified safety equipment for eye, hearing and respiratory
protection while using compressed air.
Specific areas which require regular maintenance include:
RIVING KNIFE CLAMP PLATE: Keep this area free of dust and
debris buildup. Blow out area regularly with compressed air.
NOTE:
If the riving knife clamp can't move freely, have
the saw serviced by authorized RIDGID
personnel.
ADJUSTING BELT TENSION
1.
Lower the blade height to its lowest position.
2.
Loosen the torx screw
housing. This should be loosened enough to feel the motor

For best performance use a shop vacuum or blower to keep saw
blade area, the dust collection system, the guarding system and
rails free of saw dust and other debris.
To clean cast iron tables of rust, you will need the following
materials: a medium sized scouring pad, a can of spray lubricant
and a can of degreaser. Apply the spray lubricant and polish the
table surface with the scouring pad. Degrease the table, then apply
the protective product as described above.
WORM GEARS: Keep the worm gears free of dust and debris
buildup. Blow out area regularly with compressed air. Use a lithium-
based multipurpose grease as needed on these gears.
CLEAN SAWDUST BUILDUP OUT OF SAW PERIODICALLY:
NOTE: Debris can also be removed from the saw from below the
throat plate, inside the dust port.
