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 material.
Call 1-800-4-RIDGID or E-mail us at info@ridgid-
woodworking.com if any parts are damaged or miss-
ing.
WARNING: If any parts are missing, 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 haz-
ard, never use gasoline, naptha, or similar highly
volatile solvents.
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.
3. Apply coat of paste wax to the table and table exten-
sions.
NOTE: Before beginning assembly:
• Check that all parts are included. If you are missing any
part, do not assemble the saw. Contact your Authorized
Service Center to get the missing part.
• Sometimes small parts can get lost in packaging mate-
rial. 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.

stand the safety and operating instructions.
