A ridge reamer is used merely to disassemble a badly worn engine and is pretty much a no-brainer as far as it's operation goes.
Make sure the cutting blade us below the ridge, lock it to the cylinder bore (it is self aligning) and then turn the screw to cut the ridge on it's way up; it's pretty much all automatic. The blade has a guide and it will only cut the ridge; no way you can make it "overcut".
Now, I sure don't wanna sound like a broken record here, but if you have a ridge in that cylinder wall that is bad enough to require the use of a reamer (about .010"), you need new sleeves, rings and pistons/wrist pins anyway.
Cut the ridge, hone it and just throw in a set of rings and I guarantee you that engine will pump oil like Haliburton and rattle like a diesel.
