To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible serious personal injury, assemble all parts to your saw before connecting it to the power supply. The saw should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing blades, or when not in use.

As mentioned previously, your saw has been factory assembled and adjusted. The dust bag, vice and material supports are the only parts that have to be installed.

REPLACING BLADE (Fig 10, 11 & 12)

DANGER

A 254mm× 2.0mm diameter blade is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades will prevent the blade screw from securing the blade on the spindle. Either of these situations will result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury.

• Remove the screw (a) on the link (c) and loosen the Philips screw on the blade bolt cover until the lower blade guard (4) assembly can be raised to expose the blade bolt (Fig. 10).
  Depress the spindle lock button (15) while rotating the blade (Fig. 11).
• Loosen screw (a) and outer blade flange (b) to replace the blade (c). Use wrench (d) to loosen the blade bolt.

Please note: This is a left hand thread, so loosen in a CLOCKWISE direction (Fig. 12).

Remove the outer blade washer and the blade.
Fit the new blade onto the spindle.

• Reattach the outer blade flange and secure the blade bolt tightly while depressing the spindle lock button (Fig. 12).
• Replace the blade bolt cover and the lower blade guard in position. Fasten the philips screw on the blade bolt cover.
  Connect the link to the lower blade guard.
• Check if the blade guard operates correctly before connecting the saw to the power supply.

WARNING

If the inner blade washer has been removed, replace it before placing blade on spindle. Failure to do so could cause an accident since the blade will not tighten properly.

CAUTION

Always install the blade with the blade teeth pointing in a downward direction.

COMPOUND MITRE CUT (Fig. 31)

A compound litre cut is a cut made using a litre angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This type of cut is used to make picture frames, cut molding, make boxes with sloping sides, and for certain roof framing cuts.

To make this type of cut the mitre table must be rotated to the correct angle and the saw arm must be tilted to the correct bevel angle. Care should always be taken when making compound mitre setups due to the interaction of the two angle settings.

Adjustments of metre and bevel settings are interdependent with one another. Each time you adjust the metre setting you change the effect of the bevel setting. Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting you change the effect of the metre setting.

It may take several settings to obtain the desired cut. The first angle setting should be checked after setting the second angle, since adjusting the second angle affects the first.

Once the two correct settings for a particular cut have been obtained, always made a test cut in scrap wood before making a finish cut in good wood (Fig. 31).

TO MAKE A COMPOUND CUT WITH YOUR MITRE SAW (Fig. 32):

Pull out the lock pin and lift the saw head to its full height.
Loosen the litre table lock knob.
- Rotate the litre table until the pointer aligns with the desired angle on the litre scale.
- Tighten the mitre table lock knob.

Note: You can quickly locate 0^ , 15^ , 22.5^ , 30^ left or right and 45^ left or right on the scale. The mirtre table can be seated in one of the positive stop notches, located in the mirtre table frame.

WARNING

To avoid serious personal injury, keep your hands outside the no hands zone; at least 75mm from the blade. Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.

• Tighten the litre lock handle securely.
  Adjustments of the sliding fence (24) must be made to correspond to the desired angle of the bevel cut prior to tilting the saw arm. Loosen the fence screw on the rear fence (13), slide the fence to the desired position, and retighten the fence screw (Fig. 30).
  Loosen the bevel lock lever (16) and move the saw arm to the left to the desired bevel angle.
• Bevel angles can be set from 0^ to 45^ .
  Align the indicator point with the desired angle.
  Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, securely tighten the bevel lock lever.

• Place the workpiece flat on the metre table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence (13) and clamp the vice (12) (Fig. 28a). If the concave edge of a board is placed against the fence (13), the board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade (Fig. 28b).
• When cutting long pieces of timber or molding, support the opposite end of the stock with the material supports.
  Press and hold the laser on/off switch (1) to turn the laser on.
  Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw blade.
  Use the vice (12) to secure the workpiece against the fence (13).

WARNING

To avoid serious personal injury, keep your hands outside no hands zone; at least 75mm from the blade. Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.

Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation just to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.
- Grasp the saw handle firmly, then squeeze the trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.
Press the release level for locking the lower guard and then slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
- Release the trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece.

SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES (Fig. 33)

The two material supports (8) are designed to support timber so it does not sag. The material supports should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and the work table during the cutting operations. Use the vice to secure the workpiece.

CUTTING LARGER WORKPIECES WITH SLIDE ACTION (Fig. 34, 35 & 36)

When cutting large workpieces with the slide action, the workpiece is placed squarely against the rear fence and is firmly locked in the vice.

Unscrew the slide lock (21).
- Grasp the saw handle (25) firmly (Fig. 34).
- Slide the cutting head away from the fence (24) to the outermost position, then depress the trigger (3) (Fig. 35).
Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece and push the cutting head to have the blade through the larger workpiece towards the sliding fence (24) (Fig. 36).

WARNING

Never place undue force on the saw handle in a right or left direction as this will misalign the head and result in an inaccurate cut.

LAYING MOLDING FLAT ON THE MITRE TABLE (Fig. 37)

To use this method for accurately cutting crown molding for a 90^ inside or outside corner, lay the molding with its broad back surface flat on the mitre table (11) and against the fence (13).
- When setting the bevel and litre angles for compound litres, remember that the settings are interdependent; changing one angle changes the other angle as well.
- Keep in mind that the angles for crown moldings are very precise and difficult to set. Since it is very easy for these angles to shift, all settings should first be tested on scrap molding. Also most walls do not have angles of exactly 90^ , therefore you will need to fine tune your settings.
- When cutting crown molding by this method the bevel angle should be set at 33.85^ . The mitre angle should be set at 31.62^ either right or left, depending on the desired cut for the application. See the chart below for correct angle settings and correct positioning of crown molding on mitre table.
The settings in the chart below can be used for cutting all standard crown molding with 52^ and 38^ angles. The crown molding is placed flat on the mitre table using the compound features of your mitre saw.

CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL (Fig. 38 & 39)

When cutting warped material, always make sure it is positioned on the metre table with the convex side against the fence (13) as shown in figure 38.

If the warped material is positioned the wrong way as shown in figure 39, it will pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.

WARNING

To avoid a binding condition and to avoid serious personal injury, never position the concave edge of bowed or warped material against fence.

LASER

LASER BEAM (Fig. 40)

The beam from the laser shows precisely where the blade will cut the workpiece.

The laser beam can be switched on as required:

A. Press laser on/off switch to turn the laser on and press the switch again to turn the laser off.
B. The network cable supplies power to the laser. The laser beam should be aligned before being used for the first time.

Set bench to angle position 0^
Loosen off laser-alignment screw slightly.
- Switch the laser on and align the beam so that it points exactly at the 0^ gauge mark of metre cut adjuster.
Retighten screw before use.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING

When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other part may create a hazard or cause product damage.

GENERAL

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, carbon dust, etc.

WARNING

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc. come into contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.

It has been found that electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure when they are used on fibreglass boats, cars, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to electric tool parts such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any fibreglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. During any use on these materials it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with air. Respiratory protection must be used when performing this task.

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.

English

MAINTENANCE

EXTENSION CORDS

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep power loss to a minimum and to prevent tool overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. When working outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use.

WARNING

Keep extension cords away from the cutting area and position the cord so that it will not get caught on timber, tools, etc. during cutting operation.

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.

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.

If the supply cord is damaged, it shall be replaced by the authorised Ryobi service centre in order to avoid a hazard.
If the supply cable is damaged, disconnect it from the supply immediately.
Take care not to expose this tool to rain.
Due to Ryobi's continued product refinement policy, product features and specifications can and will change without notice. Check current features and specifications with your Ryobi retailer.
