■ FENCE

The rear fence on your slide compound mitre saw has been provided to hold your workpiece securely against when making all cuts.

■ SELF-RETRACTING LOWER BLADE GUARD

The lower blade guard is made of shock-resistant, see-through plastic that provides protection from each side of the blade. It retracts over the upper blade guard as the saw is lowered into the workpiece.

WARNING: Your slide compound mitre saw has 4 holes for mounting to the work bench. Always make sure your compound mitre saw is securely mounted to a workbench or an approved workstand. Failure to do so could result in an accident causing serious personal injury.

■ ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

You saw has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 240

volts AC, 50-60 Hz, only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current

(DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, doublecheck the power supply.

WARNING: The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend a Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields.

WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury.

Page 6

ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible serious personal injury, assemble all parts to your saw before connecting it to the power supply. The saw should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing blades, or when not in use.

As mentioned previously your saw has been factory assembled and adjusted. The dust bag, vice, material supports and the mitre table lock handle are the only parts that have to be installed.

■ REPLACING BLADE (Fig 10)

DANGER: A 254mm x 1.8mm diameter blade is the maximum blade capacity of your saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guards, while thicker blades will prevent the blade screw from securing the blade on the spindle. Either of these situations will result in a serious accident and can cause serious personal injury.

Remove the two lower guard arm screws and raise the lower guard. (Fig 9)

Depress the blade lock button while rotating the blade. The blade lock button will move into the blade lock position. (Fig 10)

Remove the blade bolt and outer blade flange and replace the blade. Reattach the outer blade flange and secure the blade bolt tightly and reattach the lower blade guard. (Fig 11)

WARNING: If the inner blade washer has been removed, replace it before placing blade on spindle. Failure to do so could cause and accident since blade will not tighten properly.

CAUTION: Always install the blade with the blade teeth pointing in a downward direction.

TABLE AT 45

Move the saw arm to the 450bevel position. (Fig 17)

If the saw arm cannot reach a full 45

position, the

bevel positioning bolt will have to be reset (Fig 18)

so that when the saw arm is moved to the 45

bevel

position the bolt bottoms out on the 45

bevel

positioning bar. Check 45

angle with a 450set square from the table to the blade. If the table and blade do not align, readjust the 45

positioning bolt so that it

bottoms out on the 45

positioning bar at 450.

Adjust the pointer to the 45

position.

■ APPLICATIONS

(Use only for the purposes listed below)

• Cross Cutting wood & plastic

• Cross Cutting mitres, joints, etc. for picture frames, moldings, door casings and fine joinery.

NOTE: The crosscut blade provided is for most wood cutting operations. For fine joinery and picture frame cuts or cutting plastic, use a blade suitable, available from your nearest hardware store.

WARNING: Before starting any cutting operations, clamp or bolt your compound mitre saw to a workbench. Never operate your mitre saw on the floor or in a crouched position. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

■ CUTTING WITH YOUR COMPOUND

MITRE SAW

WARNING: Use the vice to secure your workpiece on one side of the blade only. The workpiece must remain free on one side of the blade to prevent the blade from binding in workpiece. The workpiece binding blade will cause motor stalling and kickback. This situation could cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury.

■ CROSSCUTTING

A crosscut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece. A 90

crosscut is made with the mitre table set at the zero degree position. Mitre crosscuts are made with the mitre table set at some other angle other than zero. (Fig 29 next page)

■ TO CROSSCUT WITH YOUR MITRE SAW

• Pull out the lock pin and lift the saw arm to its full height.

• Unlock the mitre table.

• Rotate the mitre table until the pointer aligns with

the desired angle on the mitre scale.

• Lock the mitre table lock knob. NOTE: You can quickly locate 0

, 150, 22.50, 300& 45

left or right on the scale. The mitre table can be seated in one of the positive stop notches, located in the mitre table frame.

OPERATIONS

Page 9

• Place the workpiece flat on the mitre table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence and clamp the vice. If the concave edge of a board is placed against the fence, the board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade. (Fig 19)

• When cutting long pieces of timber or molding, support the opposite end of the stock with the material supports.

• Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw blade.

• Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Use the vice to secure the workpiece. (Fig 19)

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, keep your hands outside the no hands zone; at least 75mm from blade. Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.

• Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation just to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.

• Grasp the saw handle firmly, press down on the lock-off lever, then squeeze the trigger switch. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

• Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

• Release the trigger switch and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece.

■ BEVEL CUT

A bevel cut is made by cutting across the grain of the workpiece with the blade angled to the fence and mitre table. A bevel cut is made with the mitre table set at zero degree position and the blade set at an angle between 0

and 450. (Fig 20)

■ TO BEVEL CUT WITH YOUR MITRE SAW

• Pull out the lock pin and lift the saw arm to its full height.

• Loosen the mitre table locking handle.

• Rotate the mitre table until the pointer aligns with zero on the mitre scale.

• Lock the mitre table by rotating the mitre table lock knob in a clockwise direction.

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always push the mitre table clamp back down before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement of the mitre table while making a cut causing serious personal injury.

• Loosen the bevel lock lever and move the saw arm to the left to the desired bevel angle.

• Bevel angles can be set from 0

to 450.

• Align the indicator point with the desired angle.

• Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, securely tighten the bevel lock lever.

• Place the workpiece flat on the mitre table with one edge securely against the fence. If the board is warped, place the convex side against the fence. If the concave edge of the board is placed against the fence, the board could collapse on the blade at the end of the cut, jamming the blade.

• When cutting long pieces of timber or molding, support the overhanging end(s) of the stock with the material supports.

• Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of saw blade.

• Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Tighten vice to secure the workpiece. (Fig 21)

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, keep your hands outside the no hands zone; at least 75mm from the blade. Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.

• Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation just to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.

• Grasp the saw handle firmly, press the lock-off switch, then squeeze the trigger switch. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

• Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

• Release the trigger switch and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece.

■ COMPOUND MITRE CUT

A compound mitre cut is a cut made using a mitre angle and a bevel angle at the same time. This type of cut is used to make picture frames, cut molding, make boxes with sloping sides, and for certain roof framing cuts.

To make this type of cut the mitre table must be rotated to the correct angle and the saw arm must be tilted to the correct bevel angle. Care should always be taken when making compound mitre setups due to the interaction of the two angle settings.

Adjustments of mitre and bevel settings are interdependent with one another. Each time you adjust the mitre setting you change the effect of the bevel setting. Also, each time you adjust the bevel setting you change the effect of the mitre setting.

It may take several settings to obtain the desired cut. The first angle setting should be checked after setting the second angle, since adjusting the second angle affects the first.

Once the two correct settings for a particular cut have been obtained, always make a test cut in scrap wood before making a finish cut in good wood. (Fig 22)

Page 10

Fig 21

Fig 22

Page 11

■ TO MAKE A COMPOUND CUT WITH

YOUR MITRE SAW

• Pull out the lock pin and lift saw arm to its full height.

• Loosen the mitre table lock knob.

• Rotate the mitre table until the pointer aligns with the desired angle on the mitre scale.

• Tighten the mitre table lock knob.

NOTE: You can quickly locate 0

, 22.50left or right,

and 45

left or right on the scale. The mitre table can be seated in one of the positive stop notches, located in the mitre table frame.

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always lock the mitre table before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement of the mitre table while making a cut.

• Loosen the bevel lock lever and move the saw arm to the left to the desired bevel angle.

• Bevel angles can be set from 0

to 450.

• Align the indicator point with the desired angle.

• Once the saw arm has been set at the desired angle, securely tighten the bevel lock lever.

• Re-check mitre angle setting. Make a test cut in scrap material.

• When cutting long pieces of timber or molding, support the opposite end of the stock with a roller stand or with work surface level with the saw table.

• Align the cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of the saw blade.

• Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against the fence. Tighten the vice to secure the workpiece.

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always keep your hands outside the no hands zone; at least 75mm from the blade. Never perform a cutting operation freehand (without holding the workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.

• Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation just to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.

• Grasp the saw handle firmly, depress the lock-off switch, then squeeze the trigger switch. Allow several seconds for blade to reach maximum speed.

• Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

• Release the trigger switch and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece.

■ SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES (Fig 24)

The two material supports are designed to support timber so it does not sag. The material supports should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and the work table during the cutting operations. Use the vice to clamp the workpiece.

Page 11

Fig 23

Fig 24

Material Supports

Page 12

■ CUTTING LARGER WORKPIECES WITH SLIDE ACTION

When cutting large workpieces with the slide action, the workpiece is placed squarely against the rear fence and is firmly locked in the vice.

Grasp the saw handle firmly, press down the lock-off switch and depress the trigger switch. (Fig 25)

Slide the cutting head away from the rear fence to the outermost position. (Fig 26)

Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece and push the blade through the timber towards the rear fence. (Fig 27)

WARNING:

Never place undue force on the saw handle in a right or left direction as this will misalign the head and result in an inaccurate cut.

■ CUTTING CROWN MOLDING

Your compound mitre saw does an excellent job of cutting crown molding. In general, compound mitre saws do a better job of cutting crown molding than any other tool made.

In order to fit properly, crown molding must be compound mitred with extreme accuracy.

The two contact surfaces on a piece of crown molding that fit flat against the ceiling and the wall of a room are at angles that, when added together, equal exactly 90

. Most crown molding has a top rear angle (the section that fits flat against the ceiling) of 52

and a bottom rear angle (the section that fits flat

against the wall) of 38

■ LAYING MOLDING FLAT ON THE MITRE TABLE

To use this method for accurately cutting crown molding for a 90

inside or outside corner, lay the molding with its broad back surface flat on the mitre table and against the fence.

When setting the bevel and mitre angles for compound mitres, remember that the settings are interdependent, changing one angle changes the other angle as well.

Keep in mind that the angles for crown moldings are very precise and difficult to set. Since it is very easy for these angles to shift, all settings should first be tested on scrap molding. Also most walls do no not have angles of exactly 90

, therefore, you will need

to fine tune your settings.

Crown Molding Flat on Mitre Table

When cutting crown molding by this method the bevel angle should be set at 33.85

. The mitre angle

should be set at 31.62

either right or left, depending on the desired cut for the application. See the chart below for correct angle settings and correct positioning of crown molding on mitre table.

The settings in the chart below can be used for cutting all standard crown molding with 52

and 38

angles. The crown molding is placed flat on the mitre table using the compound features of your mitre saw.

■ CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL

(See Figures 28 & 29)

When cutting warped material, always make sure it is positioned on the mitre table with the convex side against the fence as shown in figure 28.

If the warped material is positioned the wrong way as shown in figure 29, it will pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.

WARNING: To avoid a kickback and to avoid serious personal injury, never position the concave edge of bowed or warped material against the fence.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other part may create a hazard

or cause product damage.

■ GENERAL

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, carbon dust, etc.

WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc. come into contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.

It has been found that electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure when they are used on fibreglass boats, sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to electric tool parts such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any fibreglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. During any use on these materials it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.

■ 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 lubrication is required.

■ EXTENSION CORDS

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep power loss to a minimum and to prevent tool overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw.

A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. When working outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use.

CAUTION: Keep extension cords away from the cutting area and position the cord so that it will not get caught on timber, tools, etc. during cutting operation.

WARNING: Check extension cords

before each use. If damaged, replace immediately. Never use tool with a

damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

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.

If the supply cord is damaged, it shall be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent in order to avoid a hazard.

Disconnect from the supply immediately, if the supply cable is damaged.

Take care not to expose this tool to rain.

Due to Ryobi's continued product refinement policy, product features and specifications can and will change without notice. Check current features and specifications with your Ryobi retailer.
