The RIDGID Work-n-Haul IT™ Two Wheel Work Stand, model AC9930, is an accessory designed to provide a stable and portable platform for various power tools, specifically the Ridgid TS2400 Table Saw and Ridgid Miter Saws. This operator's manual emphasizes the importance of safety, proper assembly, and maintenance to ensure years of rugged, trouble-free performance.
The primary function of this work stand is to elevate and support power tools, making them more accessible and convenient for use in various work environments. It is engineered to be dependable and easy to operate, with safety being a top priority in its design. The stand is particularly useful for tasks that require a stable surface for cutting, drilling, or other operations, and its two-wheel design enhances portability.
Before using the work stand, users are strongly advised to read and thoroughly understand the operator's manual, paying close attention to all safety rules, including Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions. This ensures that the product is used properly and as intended, minimizing the risk of injury or damage. The manual highlights that safe operation also requires understanding the operator's manuals for any table saw or miter saw attached to the stand, as well as all labels affixed to the tool.
Key usage features of the work stand include its ability to be set up and folded down for storage and transport. The assembly process involves attaching the lower foot to the stand assembly using hex bolts, curved washers, and lock nuts, which are then firmly tightened. The manual provides clear instructions for this, noting a dimple on the workstand frame to aid in proper alignment.
A unique feature is the movable carry handle spring pin, which locks the legs in either the set-up or tear-down position. Users can change the location of this spring pin by prying off an e-clip with a flat screwdriver, relocating the spring and washers, and then reassembling the components. This flexibility allows for customization based on the user's preference or specific needs.
When setting up the work stand, users must first remove any workpieces from the tool and ensure that if a tool is already assembled, it is securely attached. Any tool accessories like clamps, miter gauges, fences, or guards should be removed or securely stored. For table saws, the blade should be lowered completely, and for miter saws or other tools, the cutter head or movable parts should be locked in the stored position.
To set up the stand from its upright position, the user holds the leg crossbar, pulls a pin, and lifts the legs until they lock in place. The unit is then lowered until the legs rest on the ground. To lock the legs, the user firmly grabs the lift handle at the wheel end and pulls the spring pin knob near the right front wheel. The sliding leg is pulled up vertically until it latches, and the handle is shaken to ensure it is securely locked. The manual warns against lifting the stand by any part of an attached miter saw and emphasizes bending knees when lifting to prevent injury.
Folding down the work stand involves pulling the spring pin on the wheel end, fully lifting the table by the lift handle, and slowly lowering that end of the table down to the frame. Once folded, the stand can be rolled to a new location. For transport, with the help of a second person, the foot of the stand can also serve as a carry handle.
Mounting power tools to the stand is a critical aspect of its functionality. The RIDGID TS2400 table saw bolts directly onto the stand, aligning four holes in the stand table with those in the saw base. Carriage bolts, washers, lockwashers, and wing nuts are used to secure it. For other portable power tools with large bases, such as miter saws, wooden mounting blocks (2x6s cut to 24 inches) are recommended. These blocks are temporarily attached to the work stand, holes are drilled, and then the power tool is attached to the blocks. A 5/8-inch diameter counterbore, 1/4-inch deep, is required for bolt head clearance. For tools with small bases, additional 1x4 cross pieces or plywood may be used to create a larger mounting surface. The manual provides detailed instructions and diagrams for these mounting configurations, emphasizing the importance of secure attachment to prevent movement or falling.
Maintenance features are intertwined with the usage instructions, particularly regarding safety checks. Users are instructed to always check that the work stand does not rock, slide, or move prior to use, and that all mounting bolts and nuts are securely tightened before moving the stand or using the tool. The manual also advises keeping the work area clean and well-lighted, and never standing on the work stand.
The manual includes a comprehensive list of safety symbols and their meanings, such as "Wet Condition Alert" (do not expose to rain or use in damp locations), "No Hands Symbol" for miter and table saws (keep hands away from the blade), "Read the Operator's Manual," and "Eye Protection" (always wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields and a full face shield). It also warns about dust created by power tools, which can contain chemicals known to cause cancer or other harm, recommending work in well-ventilated areas and with approved dust masks.
In summary, the RIDGID Work-n-Haul IT™ Two Wheel Work Stand is a versatile and portable accessory designed to enhance the functionality and safety of power tools like table saws and miter saws. Its design prioritizes ease of assembly, secure tool mounting, and user safety through clear instructions and warnings, ensuring a reliable and efficient workspace for various applications.
