    Why doesn't the brake on my RIDGID Saw stop the blade quickly?
    • R
      Robin BradfordSep 10, 2025
      If the brake on your RIDGID Saw doesn't stop the blade within 6 seconds, inspect, clean, or replace the brushes, referring to the “Maintenance” section. The motor brake winding may have overheated due to using a prohibited accessory or rapid on/off cycling; use only recommended blades and accessories, and let the motor cool down. Retighten the arbor screw if it is loose. For other issues, get authorized service, consulting the “Troubleshooting of brake” section.

      If your RIDGID Saw vibrates or shakes, the saw blade might not be round or could be damaged, so replace it. Also, check if the saw blade is loose and tighten the arbor screw. For other issues, get authorized service.

      If the power head of your RIDGID Saw is hard to pull or push down, lubrication may be needed. See the “Lubrication” section.
