FEATURES

WARNING:

Although some of the illustrations in this manual are shown with the blade guard removed for clarity, do not operate the saw without the blade guard unless specifically instructed to do so.

OPERATING COMPONENTS

The upper portion of the blade projects up through the table, surrounded by an insert called the throat plate. To cut wood at a bevel, the blade must be tilted, using the blade adjust- ment handle, scale, and bevel indicator found on the front of the cabinet. Inside the cabinet, adjustable positive stops are provided for 0º and 45º.

The sliding miter table assembly is used for all crosscutting operations. The miter fence is easily adjusted to cut wood at an angle by loosening the adjusting clamp, setting the fence to the miter scale, and retightening the clamp. The sliding miter table, which rests on a base mounted on the rails, can be repositioned along the rails for wide work. It can be reversed so the projecting base is in the back. It can also be moved from the right side to the left side as needed. With the miter fence removed the miter table offers additional support for other operations such as ripping.

Your saw includes a rip fence and an accessory table. The accessory table can be moved from the right side of the saw to the left side as needed. The rip fence is used to position work that will be cut lengthwise. A scale on the front rail shows the distance between the rip fence and the blade.

3.Lower switch cover.

WARNING:

ALWAYS make sure your workpiece is not in contact with the blade before operating the switch to start the tool. Failure to heed this warning may cause the workpiece to be kicked back toward the operator and result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of accidental starting, ALWAYS make sure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging tool into the power source .

The riving knife is a metal device directly behind and above the blade. It is used to help keep the cut wood from binding together and causing possible kickback. It is very important to use the riving knife for all through-sawing operations. The anti-kickback pawls are toothed plates mounted on the riving knife. Their teeth point away from the work in case the work should be pulled back, toward the operator. Then the teeth dig into the wood to help prevent or reduce the possibility of kickback.

Your Ryobi BT3100 table saw features a receptacle on the right side of the cabinet that permits use of accessories. Use only accessories that are listed for use with this tool. When using a listed accessory, unplug the saw motor cord and use the receptacle and BT3100 main power switch to operate the accessory.
