ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:

Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is unplugged from the power supply. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

The compound miter saw has been adjusted at the factory for making very accurate cuts. However, some of the components might have been jarred out of alignment during shipping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will probably become necessary due to wear. After unpacking the saw, check the following adjustments before you begin using saw. Make any readjustments that are necessary and periodically check the parts alignment to make sure that the saw is cutting accurately.

CAUTION:

Do not start the compound miter saw without checking for interference between the blade and the throat plate. Damage could result to the blade if it strikes the throat plate during operation of the saw.

PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS

NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and normally do not require readjustment.

TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT

The saw arm should rise completely to the up position by itself.

If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play in the pivot joints, have saw repaired at your nearest RYOBI

AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.

BEVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT

The compound miter saw should bevel easily by loosening the bevel lock knob and tilting the saw arm to the left.

If movement is tight or if there is play in the pivot, have saw repaired at your nearest RYOBI AUTHORIZED SERVICE

CENTER.

DEPTH STOP

The depth stop limits the blade’s downward travel. It allows the blade to go below the miter table enough to maintain full cutting capacities.

The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting capacity for the 10 in. blade provided with the saw. Therefore, the saw with blade provided should never need adjustments.

POSITIVE STOP ADJUSTMENTS

See Figure 36.

NOTE:This procedure can be used to check blade squareness of the saw blade to the miter table at both 0° and 45° angles. These adjustments were made at the factory and normally do not require readjustment.

To adjust:

Unplug the saw.

Using the blade wrench, loosen the positive stop adjust- ment screw.

Loosen the bevel lock knob by turning the knob coun- terclockwise.

Square the blade to the miter table as described in the Assembly section of this manual.

Retighten bevel lock knob. Recheck blade-to-table align- ment.

The saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel scale and one on the miter scale. After squaring adjustments have been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicator screws and reset them to zero.
