Ryobi TS1343L manual Tighten Miter, Dust BAG Exhaust Port, Base Work Clamp

ASSEMBLY

MITER LOCK HANDLE

See Figure 8.

To install the miter lock handle, place the threaded stud on the end of the miter lock handle into the threaded hole in the control arm. Turn clockwise to tighten.

DUST BAG

See Figure 9.

A dust bag is provided for use on the miter saw. It fits over the exhaust port on the upper blade guard. To install it, remove dust guide from exhaust port. Then, squeeze the two metal clips to open the mouth of the bag and slide it on the exhaust port. Release the clips. The metal ring in the bag should lock in between the grooves on the exhaust port. To remove the dust bag for emptying, simply reverse the above procedure.

WORK CLAMP

See Figure 10.

The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the workpiece to the fence or the miter table. It also prevents the workpiece from creeping toward the saw blade. This is very helpful when cutting compound miters.

Depending on the cutting operation and the size of the workpiece, it may be necessary to use a C-clamp instead of the work clamp to secure the workpiece prior to making the cut.
