ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:

Before performing any adjustment, make sure the tool

is unplugged from the power suppl. Failure to heed this

warning could result in serious personal injury.

The compound miter 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. After unpacking

the saw, check the following adjustments before you begin

using saw. Make any readjustments that are necessary and

periodically check the parts alignment to make sure that the

saw is cutting accurately.

CAUTION:

Do not start the compound miter saw without checking

for interference between the blade and the throat plate.

Damage could result to the blade if it strikes the throat

plate during operation of the saw.

PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS

NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and

normally do not require readjustment.

TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT

n The saw arm should rise completely to the up position

by itself.

n 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

n The compound miter saw should bevel easily by loosening

the bevel lock knob and tilting the saw arm to the left.

n 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 1/4 in. from the miter table support.

NOTE: The miter table support is located inside the miter

table.

The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cut-

ting capacity for the 10 in. blade provided with the saw.

Therefore, the saw with blade provided should never need

adjustments.

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 adjust-

ments if needed.

Fig. 34

DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS

See Figure 34.

n Unplug the saw.

n To adjust the depth stop use a 10 mm wrench and

loosen the hex nut located on the side of the miter saw

housing.

n Use a 5 mm hex key wrench to adjust the depth stop

adjustment screw. The saw blade is lowered by turning

the screw counterclockwise and raised by turning the

screw clockwise.

n Lower the blade into the miter table. Check blade clearance

and maximum cutting distance (distance from fence where

blade enters) to front of miter table slot.

n Readjust if necessary.

n Tighten the hex nut with a 10 mm wrench or adjustable

wrench.

n To prevent the depth stop adjustment screw from turning

while tightening the hex nut, carefully hold it with the hex

key wrench while tightening the hex nut.
