Operation - RIDGID R3205 Manual Del Operador

ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
7-1/4 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of
the saw. Also, never use a blade that is too thick
to allow outer blade washer to engage with the
flat on the spindle. Larger blades will come in
contact with the blade guides, while thicker blades
will prevent blade screw from securing blade on
spindle. Either of these situations could result in a
serious accident.
NOTICE:
To prevent damage to the spindle or spindle lock,
always allow motor to come to a complete stop
before engaging spindle lock.
INSTALLING/REMOVING THE BLADE
See Figures 2 - 3, page 15.
 Unplug the saw.
 Depress and hold spindle lock.
 Remove blade screw by turning it counterclockwise
with the hex key, while keeping the spindle lock button
depressed.
 Remove outer blade washer ("D" washer).
 Wipe a drop of oil onto the inner flange bushing and outer
blade washer ("D" washer) where they contact blade.
 Retract the lower guard into the upper guard, making
sure the lower guard spring works properly, allowing the
guard to move freely.

OPERATION

DANGER:
Keep hands away from cutting area and the
blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle, or motor housing. If both hands are
holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with products to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.

blade and the arrow on the lower guard are pointing in
the same direction.
NOTE: The saw teeth point upward at the front of the
saw as shown.
