rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.  
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered  
benches and dark areas invite accidents.  
do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,  
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,  
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the  
dust or fumes.  
do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance  
at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better  
control of the tool in unexpected situations.  
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.  
Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing  
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.  
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while  
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to  
lose control.  
do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long  
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn  
into air vents.  
ELECTRICAL SAFETY  
double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized  
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will  
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does  
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still  
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a  
polarized outlet. do not change the plug in any way.  
do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable  
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the  
tool in unexpected situations.  
TOOL USE ANd CARE  
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and  
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding  
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and  
may lead to loss of control.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such  
as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There  
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is  
grounded.  
do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your  
application. The correct tool will do the job better and  
safer at the rate for which it is designed.  
do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.  
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is  
dangerous and must be repaired.  
don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.  
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of  
electric shock.  
disconnect the plug from power source before making  
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the  
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of  
starting the tool accidentally.  
do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the  
tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away  
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace  
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase  
the risk of electric shock.  
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other  
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of  
untrained users.  
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor  
extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords  
are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric  
shock.  
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp  
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting  
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.  
PERSONAL SAFETY  
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,  
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may  
affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool  
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by  
poorly maintained tools.  
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common  
sense when operating a power tool. do not use tool  
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,  
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating  
power tools may result in serious personal injury.

manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be  
suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used  
on another tool.  
SERVICE  
Tool service must be performed only by qualified  
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by  
unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.  
Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from  
oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.  
Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based  
products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool.  
Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control  
and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.  
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement  
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section  
of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to  
follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of  
shock or injury.  
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES  
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when  
performing an operation where the cutting tool may  
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a  
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the cutting  
tool “live” and shock the operator.  
properly and perform its intended function. Check for  
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,  
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions  
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that  
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced  
by an authorized service center. Following this rule will  
reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.

dOUbLE INSULATION  
EXTENSION CORdS  
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power  
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire  
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated  
from the internal metal motor components with protecting  
insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be  
grounded.  
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from  
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has  
the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An  
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in  
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine  
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only  
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories  
(UL) should be used.  
WARNING:  
When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension  
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is  
designated with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.  
The double insulated system is intended to protect  
the user from shock resulting from a break in the  
tool’s internal wiring. Observe all normal safety  
precautions to avoid electrical shock.  
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or  
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.  
**Ampere rating (on tool faceplate)  
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires  
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should  
be performed only by a qualified service technician. For  
service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest  
authorized service center for repair. Always use original  
factory replacement parts when servicing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION  
100'  
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be  
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC  
only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool  
on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause  
a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does  
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the  
power supply.  
**Used on 12 gauge - 20 amp circuit.  
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge  
WARNING:  
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.  
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on  
lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are  
working with a power tool. Failure to do so can  
result in serious personal injury.  
WARNING:  
Check extension cords before each use. If  
damaged replace immediately. Never use tool with  
a damaged cord since touching the damaged area  
could cause electrical shock resulting in serious  
injury.

OPERATION  
WARNING:  
Cutting into electrical wiring in walls can cause  
metal surfaces of the saw to become electrically  
live. Do not touch metal parts when cutting into  
a wall; grasp only the insulated gripping surfaces  
provided on the tool. Make sure hidden electrical  
wiring, water pipes, and mechanical hazards are  
not in the blade path when cutting into a wall.  
®
GENERAL CUTTING  
See Figure 7.  
Hold the saw firmly in front of and clearly away from you.  
Make sure saw blade is clear of any foreign material. Be sure  
material to be cut is held firmly. Small work pieces should  
be securely clamped in a vise or with clamps to the work  
bench or table.  
Fig. 7  
Mark the line of cut clearly.  
Pull switch trigger to start the cutting action.  
Place the base assembly against the work, then move  
the blade into the work.  
do not force. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw  
cutting. Let the blade and saw do the work. Use of excessive  
pressure that causes bending or twisting of the blade may  
result in broken blades.  
WARNING:  
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when  
performing an operation where the saw blade may  
contact hidden wiring or its own card. Contact with  
a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the  
tool “live” and shock the operator.

MAINTENANCE  
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,  
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated  
wear and possible premature failure because the  
fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to  
bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do  
not recommend using this tool for extended work on these  
types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these  
materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using  
compressed air.  
WARNING:  
When servicing use only identical RIDGID  
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may  
create a hazard or cause product damage.  
WARNING:  
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with  
side shields during power tool operation or when  
blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a  
dust mask.  
LUbRICATION  
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient  
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under  
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication  
is required.  
GENERAL MAINTENANCE  
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most  
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of  
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use  
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.  
WARNING:
