Mounting The Motor - RIDGID TS2412 Owner's Manual

Assembly (continued)
IMPORTANT: To work properly, the spreader must
always be adjusted so the cut workpiece will pass on
either side of the spreader without binding or skewing to
the side.
NOTE: The spreader is thinner than the width of the cut
(kerf) by approximately six thicknesses of paper.
3. Make two folds in a small piece (6 x 6 inch) of ordinary
newspaper making three thicknesses.
The folded paper will be used as "spacing gauge".
4. Place rip fence on the right hand side of table. Care-
fully move it against blade so that it is parallel to the
blade, and just touches tips of saw teeth. Tighten rip
fence lock lever.
5. Insert folded paper between spreader and fence.
6. Using 7/16 wrench loosen the 1/4-20 hex head screws
so the spreader can slide sideways.
7. Hold spreader flat against folded paper and fence.
Tighten screws using 7/16 inch wrench.
8. To remove blade guard and spreader, loosen thumb-
screw. Do not loosen other screws. This allows you
to remove and replace the guard for non-through cuts
without disturbing the spreader alignment.
