OPERATION

HEELING (PARALLELING) THE BLADE TO THE MITER GAGE GROOVE

See Figures 28 - 30 .

WARNING:

Make sure the switch is off, switch key is removed, and saw is unplugged. Failure to do so could result in accidental starting causing serious personal injury.

Do not loosen any screws for this adjustment until you have checked with a square and made test cuts to be sure adjusments are necessary. Once the screws are loosened, these items must be reset.

WARNING:

The blade must parallel the miter gage slot so the wood does not bind resulting in kickback. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

￿Lift the blade guard. Raise the blade all the way by turning the height handwheel.

￿Mark beside one of the blade teeth at the front of the blade. Place the body of a combination square against the miter gage groove as shown in figure 28. Measure the distance to the right gage groove.

￿Turn the blade so the marked tooth is at the back.

￿Move the combination square to the rear and again measure the distance to the right miter gage groove. If the distances are the same, the blade and the miter gage groove are parallel.

￿If the distances measured are different, loosen the screws at the back of the table using a 4 mm hex key.

￿If the back of the blade was too far from the miter gage groove, place a block of wood on the left side of the blade and push it into the blade until the blade is parallel to the miter gage groove. Retighten the screws.

￿If the back of the blade was too close to the miter gage groove, place a block of wood on the right side of the blade and push it into the blade until the blade is parallel to the miter gage groove. Retighten the screws.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of injury from kickback, align the rip fence to the blade following any blade adjustments. Always make sure the rip fence is parallel to the blade before beginning any operation.

Table Saw specifications

The Ryobi Table Saw is a powerful and versatile tool designed for both hobbyists and professional woodworkers. Known for its durability and efficiency, this table saw is an essential addition to any workshop. One of its standout features is the high-performance motor, which typically operates at 15 amps, delivering ample power to handle a variety of cutting tasks with ease. This ensures that it can cut through hardwood, softwood, and even plywood without bogging down.

A notable characteristic of the Ryobi Table Saw is its precision. Equipped with a robust aluminum table, the saw offers a flat, sturdy surface that promotes accurate cuts. The table is typically expansive, allowing users to work on larger materials without difficulty. With the inclusion of rack and pinion fence system, users can make quick adjustments to the blade position, ensuring that each cut is clean and precise. The fence system is user-friendly, allowing for smooth adjustments with minimal effort.

Safety is a top priority in Ryobi's design, and this is reflected in various features like the blade guard and anti-kickback pawls. The blade guard provides visibility of the cut line while protecting the user from potential injury. Additionally, the saw often includes a push stick, which helps maintain a safe distance from the blade during operation.

Another key technology found in the Ryobi Table Saw is its portability. Many models are designed to be lightweight and feature wheels, making it easy to move the saw from one location to another. This is particularly advantageous for contractors or those who have limited workshop space.

Dust collection is also an important aspect of woodworking, and the Ryobi Table Saw typically includes a built-in dust port. This enables users to connect a shop vac or dust collector, minimizing the mess and ensuring a cleaner work environment.

In summary, the Ryobi Table Saw integrates powerful performance with user-friendly features. Its precision cutting capabilities, safety mechanisms, and portability make it an excellent tool for anyone looking to tackle woodworking projects. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a DIY enthusiast, the Ryobi Table Saw can elevate your craftsmanship and improve your woodworking efficiency.
