Cross Cutting; Bevel Cutting - RIDGID R3210-1 Operator's Manual

OPERATION

CROSS CUTTING

See Figure 14.
When making a cross cut, align the line of cut with the full
length kerf indicator on the base.
Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap
material along a guideline to determine how much, if any, you
must offset the guideline to produce an accurate cut.
NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is
the amount you should offset the guide.

BEVEL CUTTING

The base of the saw may be adjusted for bevel cuts up to
51.5°.
WARNING:
The tool should never be connected to a power
supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance,
or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the
tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious injury.
0° BEVEL STOP
The saw has a positive 0° bevel stop that has been factory
adjusted to assure 0° angle of the saw blade when making
90° cuts.
TO CHECK 0° BEVEL STOP
See Figure 15.
 Unplug the saw.
 Place the saw in an upside down position on a work-
bench.
 Move the lower blade guard out of the way so that the
saw blade is exposed.
 Check the squareness of the saw blade to the base of
the saw using a carpenter's square.
