CUTTING A SLOT IN THE ZERO CLEARANCE THROAT PLATE

In order to use your compound miter saw, you must cut a slot through the zero clearance throat plate to allow for blade clearance. To cut the slot, set your saw at 0° miter, turn saw on and allow the blade to reach full speed, then carefully make a straight cut as far as it will go through the throat plate. Turn your saw off and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before raising the saw arm.

Next, adjust the bevel angle to 45° , turn your saw on and allow the blade to reach full speed, then carefully make another cut through the zero clearance throat plate. The slot in the throat plate will then be wide enough to allow the blade to pass through it at any angle from 0° to 45° .

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 by at your nearest

RYOBI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.

BEVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT

Your compound miter saw should bevel easily by loos- ening 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 by 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 (6.4 mm) 1/4 in. 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 10 in. (254 mm) saw blade provided with your saw. Therefore, the saw blade provided should never need adjustments.

WARNING:

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

APPLICATIONS

(Use only for the purposes listed below)

Cross cutting wood and plastic.

Cross cutting miters, joints, etc. for picture frames, moldings, door casings, and fine joinery.

Note: The blade provided is fine for most wood cutting operations, but for fine joinery cuts or cutting plastic, use one of the accessory blades available from your Ryobi dealer.
