Unpacking
1. Separate saw and all parts from packing
materials and check each one with the
illustration and the “List of Loose Parts”
to make certain all items are accounted
for, before discarding any packing mate-
rial. Call 1-800-4-RIDGID or E-mail us at
[e-mail] if any
parts are damaged or missing.
WARNING: If any parts are miss-
ing, do not attempt to assemble
the table saw, plug in the power
cord or turn the switch on until
the missing parts are obtained
and are installed correctly.
2. Remove the protective oil that is
applied to the table top and edges of
the table and table extensions. Use any
ordinary household type grease and
spot remover.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
fire or health hazard, never use
gasoline, naptha, or similar
highly volatile solvents.

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.
3.Apply coat of paste wax to the table and
table extensions.
NOTE: Before beginning assembly:
• Check that all parts are included. If you
are missing any part, do not assemble
the saw.
• Sometimes small parts can get lost in
packaging material. Do not throw away
any packaging until saw is put together.
Check packaging for missing parts
before contacting RIDGID.
• A complete parts list (Repair Parts) is at
the end of the manual. Use this list to
identify the part number of the missing
part.
NOTE: At the beginning of each assembly
section items such as nuts and bolts are
shown actual size.
WARNING: For your own safety,
never connect plug to power
source outlet until all assembly
steps are complete, and you
have read and understand the
safety and operating instruc-
tions.
