Assembling Table Extensions - RIDGID TS2424 Owner's Manual

Assembling Table Extensions

1. From the bag labeled "Table Extensions" remove the
following hardware: (Quantity indicated is for two
extensions)
8 Hex Head Screws, 5/16-18 x 1-1/4" Long
8 Flat Washers, 11/32 x 11/16 x 1/16
8 Lockwashers, 5/16" External Type
8 Hex Nuts, 5/16-18
NOTE: Assemble with saw upside down.
WARNING: Stock table extensions must be
installed. They help support the fence guide bars.
An unsupported guide bar can twist. Twisted guide
bars can misalign fence. A misaligned fence can
cause binding or kickback. You could be hit or cut.
2. Insert four (4) 5/16-18 x 1 in. long screws through the
holes in each extension.
3. Position extension against table so screws extend
through hole in table.
4. Install flat washers, lockwasher, and nuts on the
screws. With a 1/2" wrench, snug the four nuts just
enough to take the play out between the table and
extension. Do not tighten.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 to install the other extension.
6. Stand saw upright on legs. Roll saw over onto front
then up onto feet.
WARNING: The saw is heavy. To reduce the risk of
back injury, get help to lift the saw. Hold the saw
close to your body. Bend your knees so you can lift
with your legs, not your back.
7. Line up the front edge of extension with the front edge
of the table. At the spots marked "X" in the drawing,
tighten a "C" Clamp over the edge of table and exten-
sion. Use a combination square to check the alignment
of the front and top edges nearest the "X"'s. Tighten
the two corner nuts only with a 1/2" wrench.
NOTE: This assembly may also be done without the use
of a "C" Clamp.
WARNING: Table extensions must be installed.
Front edge of table and extensions must be lined
up. An uneven front edge can twist the fence guide
bar. Twisted guide bars can misalign fence. A mis-
aligned fence can cause binding or kickback. You
could be hit or cut.
8. Tighten a "C" clamp over the edge of table and exten-
sion at the center until the extension is even with the
table surface as shown. Tighten the two center nuts
with a 1/2" wrench.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 to align the other extension.
