ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool is unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in the OFF position. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.
The 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.
Do not start any adjustments until you have checked with a square and made test cuts to be sure adjustments are needed.
To square the cutting wheel to the
TABLE
See Figure 27, page 23.
Do not loosen any screws for this adjustment until you have checked with a square and made test cuts to be sure adjust- ments are necessary. Once the screws are loosened, these items must be reset.
Unplug the saw.
Using a 13 mm wrench or adjustable wrench (not included), loosen the hex bolt at the front of the frame and end of the slide rod.
Move the table until the fence is square with the cutting wheel.
Tighten the hex bolt securely.
To ADJUST THE TABLE ROLLERS
See Figure 28, page 23.
If the table doesn’t slide smoothly, seems too loose on the slide rod, or moves side to side, adjustments may be required. There are two different sets of shafts that may require adjustment.
To adjust if the table is loose:
Using a hex key and wrench (not included), loosen the bottom two shafts. These lower shafts can be adjusted up and down on the slide rod.
If the table still doesn’t slide smoothly, loosen the top two shafts.
Once the rollers are sliding satisfactorily, tighten the screws securely.
To adjust if the rollers are too tight:
From the side closest to the frame, insert a hex key in the shaft.
Holding the hex key to keep the shaft from turning, loosen the nylock nuts until the table slides at the desired smoothness.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. After extended use, lubricate table rollers and clean the slide rod so the table will slide smoothly.
Cleaning the Slide Rod
During use, the slide rod will become dirty preventing the table rollers from sliding smoothly. It is important to clean the slide rod often using a clean, dry cloth.
