Maintenance - RIDGID R4010 Operator's Manual

ADJUSTMENTS
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure 36.
The depth stop limits the wheel's downward travel. It
allows the wheel to go below the table enough to maintain full
cutting capacities. The depth stop is factory set to provide
maximum cutting capacity for the wheel provided with the
saw. Make adjustments if needed.
 Unplug the saw.
 To adjust the depth, loosen the wing nut located on the
depth stop knob.
 Turn the depth stop knob. Set the wheel to the correct
cutting depth (wheel just below the table surface).
Lower the cutting wheel to the table to check wheel
clearance.
 Readjust if necessary.
 Tighten the wing nut.
POSITIVE STOP ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure 36.
NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and
normally do not require readjustment.
 Unplug the saw.
If the cutting wheel is not perfectly vertical (0°):
 Loosen the bevel lock knob.
 Place a combination square beside the wheel.
 Using a wrench, turn the 0° hex bolt until the wheel is
square to the table and the hex bolt is resting on the saw
housing.
 Tighten the bevel lock knob.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical RIDGID replace-
ment parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 during product
operation. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust
mask.
If the cutting wheel is not an exact 45°:
 Set the saw arm to a 45° angle.
 Place a combination square beside the wheel and set the
saw arm at 45°.
 Using a wrench, turn the 45° hex bolt until the hex bolt
is resting on the saw housing.
After squaring adjustments have been made, it may be
necessary to loosen the indicator screw on the bevel scale
indicator and reset it to zero.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
