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.

Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling

compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and

possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and

grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commu

tators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this

tool for extended work on these types of materials. However,

if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely

important to clean the tool using compressed air.

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. Therefore, no further lubrica-

tion is required.

BRUSH REPLACEMENT

See Figure 36.

The saw has externally accessible brush assemblies that

should be periodically checked for wear.

Proceed as follows when re

placement is required:

 Unplug the saw.

WARNING:

Failure to unplug the saw could result in accidental start-

ing causing serious injury.

 Remove brush cap with a screwdriver. Brush assembly is

spring loaded and will pop out when you remove brush

cap.

 Remove brush assembly.

 Check for wear. Replace both brushes when either has

less than 1/4 in. length of carbon remaining. Do not

replace one side without replacing the other.

 Reassemble using new brush assemblies. Make sure

curvature of brush matches curvature of motor and that

brush moves freely in brush tube.

 Make sure brush cap is oriented correctly (straight) and

replace.

 Tighten brush cap securely. Do not overtighten.

ADJUSTMENTS

POSITIVE STOP ADJUSTMENTS

See Figure 35.

NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and

normally do not require readjustment.

To adjust:

 Unplug the saw.

 Using two wrenches (one on the lock nut and one for

the positive stop adjustment screw), loosen the lock nut

securing the positive stop adjustment screw.

 Loosen the bevel lock knob by turning the knob

counterclockwise.

 Square the blade to the miter table as described in the

Assembly section of this manual.

 Retighten bevel lock knob. Next, retighten lock nut

securing the positive stop adjustment screw. Recheck

blade-to-table alignment.

NOTE: The above procedure can be used to check blade

squareness of the saw blade to the miter table at both 0

and 45

angles.

The saw has two scale indicators, one on the bevel scale

and one on the miter scale. After squaring adjustments have

been made, it may be necessary to loosen the indicator

screws and reset them to zero.
