Align The Blade To Fence - RIDGID R4231 Operator's Manual

ALIGN THE BLADE TO FENCE

Your saw is calibrated at the factory to cut true. Over time the
saw's calibration may drift and will need to be re-calibrated.
See Figure 12.
1.
Unplug the Saw.
2.
Lower the saw head all the way down to the transport
position and engage the saw head lock pin
it in place. Push the saw head into the fully retracted
position and engage the slide lock lever
place.
3.
Set the miter position to 0° and allow the miter detent
to lock into position.
4.
Set the bevel position to 0°. Tighten the bevel lock
handle to lock bevel angle.
5.
Place a framing square
face of the saw blade.
NOTE:
Make sure the square contacts the flat part of the
blade and not the teeth.
See Figure 13.

If the blade face is not flush with the square you will
need to adjust the miter detent plate
7.
Loosen the four screws

and blade are flush against the combination square.
Make sure the miter lock knob is not locked, so the
miter detent plate may be adjusted.

fence alignment.
