■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 positions the blade 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) from the miter table support.
Note: The miter table support is located inside miter table.
The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting capacity for the
However, when the diameter of the blade has been reduced due to sharpening, it may be necessary to adjust the depth stop to provide maximum cutting capacity. Also, when a new blade is installed, it is necessary to check the clearance of the blade to the miter table support before starting the saw. Make adjustments if needed.
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure 31.
■Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING:
Failure to remove battery pack from your saw could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.
