ASSEMBLY

■Replace the lower blade guard and blade bolt cover.

■Retighten phillips screw securing blade bolt cover.

WARNING:

Make sure the spindle lock button is not engaged before reconnecting saw into power source. Never engage spindle lock button when blade is rotating.

DUST BAG (Optional)

An optional dust bag, part number 4090001, is available for use on your 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.

TABLE EXTENSIONS (Optional)

To install optional table extensions, part number 982022-001, insert the ends of extensions into the holes in the sides of the base. Adjust the extensions to the desired length. To secure them in place, screw the two thumb screws provided into the holes in the front of the base and tighten them securely.

WARNING:

Before connecting saw to power source, make sure the saw blade or blade guard will not hit the work clamp or table extensions when cutting 35° to 45° angles.

STOP BLOCK (Optional)

The optional stop block is included with the Table exten- sions and is useful as a stop for making repetitive cuts to the same length. It can be installed on either side of the saw base:

■Loosen the thumb screw and adjust the stop block the desired distance from the blade for the cut to be made. For accurate placement of the stop block, measure the distance from the teeth set on the blade to the stop block.

■Tighten thumb screw securely.

■Make a test cut in scrap material and measure the length of the workpiece.

■Make any necessary adjustments.

WARNING:

When using the work clamp with the stop block, install the clamp on the same side as the stop block. This will eliminate the possibility of trapping the workpiece, resulting in the saw blade and workpiece kicking up. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Always make sure your miter saw is securely mounted to a workbench or an appropriate workstand. Failure to do so could result in an accident resulting in possible serious personal injury.

ADJUSTMENTS

Your Ryobi miter saw has been adjusted at the factory for making very accurate cuts. However, some of the compo- nents might have been jarred out of alignment during ship- ping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will probably become necessary due to wear. After unpacking your saw, check the following adjustments before you begin using saw. Make any readjustments that are necessary and peri- odically check the parts alignment to make sure that your saw is cutting accurately.

WARNING:

Your saw should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing blades, or when not in use. Discon- necting your saw will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury.

NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only portions of your miter saw. This is intentional so that we can clearly show points being made in the illustrations. Never operate your saw without all guards securely in place and in good operating condition.
