DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety, in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from internal metal motor components with protecting
insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect the
user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's
internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions
related to avoiding electrical shock.
IMPORTANT
Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge and should
be performed only by a qualified service technician. For
service we suggest you return the tool to your nearest
RYOBIAUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER for repair. When
servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement parts.
W ARNING:
Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have read
thoroughly and understand completely all instructions,
safety rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to
comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric
shock, or serious personal injury. Save this operator's
manual and review frequently for continuing safe operation
and instructing others who may use this tool.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Safe operation of this power tool requires that you read and
understand this operator's manual and all labels affixed to
the tool. Safety is a combination of common sense, staying
alert, and knowing how your miter saw works.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator's
manual carefully. Learn the saw's applications and
limitations as well as the specific potential hazards
related to this tool.
2. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY
PREVENTING BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED
SURFACES. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges,
refrigerator enclosures.
3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order.
4. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered work
areas and work benches invite accidents. DO NOT
leave tools or pieces of wood on the saw while it is in
operation.
5. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do
not use power tools near gasoline or other flammable
liquids, in damp or wet locations, or expose them to
rain. Keep the work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors
should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance
from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or
extension cord while operating.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks
and master switches, or by removing starter keys.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or
attachment to do a job it was not designed for. Don't use
it for a purpose not intended.
10. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry.
They can get caught and draw you into moving parts.
Rubber gloves and nonslip footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Also wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDESHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impactresistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
12. PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask
if the cutting operation is dusty.
13. PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection
during extended periods of operation.
14. DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never yank cord to disconnect
it from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp
edges.
15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
16. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
17. DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits,
cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected.
18. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Get
in the habit of checking to see that hex keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning
it on.
19. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is
off when plugging in.
20. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at
least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet
or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage.
The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
21. USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is
used outdoors, use only extension cords with approved
ground connection that are intended for use outdoors
and so marked.
22. KEEP BLADES CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp blades
minimize stalling and kickback.
23. KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Keep
hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath
work or around or under the blade while blade is
rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving.
WARNING: Blades coast after turn off.
24. NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE.
Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.
25. INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if
damaged, have repaired at your nearest AUTHORIZEDSERVICE CENTER. Stay constantly aware of cord
location and keep it well away from the rotating blade.
26. INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and
replace if damaged.
27. KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OILAND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.
Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any solvents to clean tool.
28. STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch
what you are doing and use common sense. Do not
operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
29. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center to avoid risk of personal injury.
30. DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN ITON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
31. USE THE FENCE. Always use the fence when cutting.
32. SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES. To minimize risk of
blade pinching and kickback, always support long
workpieces.
33. BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL
ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.
34. USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use blades
with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or
blade screws that are defective or incorrect. The
maximum blade capacity of your saw is 10 in. (254 mm).
35. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
36. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur
if the tool is tipped or if the blade is unintentionally
contacted.
37. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way.
38. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.TURN THE POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
39. AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and remove all
nails from lumber before cutting.
40. NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during
use.
41. NEVERSTART A TOOL WHEN THE BLADE IS IN
CONTACT WITH THE WORKPIECE.
42. DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY
MEDICATION.
43. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work
when practical. It's safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate tool.
44. REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether electrical
or mechanical, should be made at your nearest
Authorized Service Center.
W ARNING:
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
45. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct other users. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions
also.

Additional Rules For Safe Operation
For Miter Saws
1. NEVER USE A DULL SAW BLADE or one that does
not have sufficient set.
2. DO NOT REMOVE THE SAW'S BLADE GUARDS.
Never operate the saw with any guard or cover removed. Make sure all guards are operating properly
before each use.
3. MAKE SURE THE MITER TABLE IS LOCKED INPOSITION BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SAW. Lock
the miter table by securely tightening the miter lock
handle.
4. NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION "FREEHAND".
Always place the workpiece to be cut on the miter table
and position it firmly against the fence as a backstop.
5. ALWAYS USE A CLAMP to secure the workpiece
when possible.
6. NEVER hand hold a workpiece that is too small to be
clamped. Keep hands clear of the no hands zone.
7. NEVER reach behind or under the blade and its cutting
path with your hands and fingers for any reason.
8. NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with
the path of the saw blade.
9. ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME UP TO FULL SPEED
before starting a cut.
10. ALWAYS release the power switch and allow the saw
blade to stop rotating before raising it out of the
workpiece.
11. NEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap,
or anything else that is in or near the cutting path of the
blade.
12. NEVER leave the miter saw unattended while connected to a power source.
13. FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your miter saw to a work-
bench or table. The most comfortable saw table height
is 39 inches or at approximately hip height.
14. AVOIDAWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND PO-SITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to
move into the blade. ALWAYS make sure you have
good balance. NEVER operate your miter saw on the
floor or in a crouched position.
15. ALWAYS PROVIDE ADEQUATE ROOM AND SUP-PORT for crosscutting long workpieces.
16. NEVER USE A LENGTH STOP ON THE FREE SCRAPEND OF A CLAMPED WORKPIECE. NEVER hold
onto or bind the free scrap end of the workpiece in any
operation. If a work clamp and length stop are used
together, they must both be installed on the same side
of the saw table to prevent the saw from catching the
loose end and kicking up.
17. DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND OFFRAPIDLY. This could cause the saw blade to loosen
and could create a hazard. Should this ever occur,
stand clear and allow the saw blade to come to a
complete stop. Disconnect your saw from the power
supply and securely retighten the blade bolt.
18. NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO NOTSTACK more than one workpiece on the saw table at
a time.
19. IF ANY PART OF THIS MITER SAW IS MISSING or
should break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any
electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off
the power switch, remove the miter saw plug from the
power source and have damaged, missing, or failed
parts replaced before resuming operation.
20. ALWAYS STAY ALERT! Do not allow familiarity (gained
from frequent use of your saw) to cause a careless
mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a careless frac-
tion of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
21. MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHT-ING to see the work and that no obstructions will
interfere with safe operation BEFORE performing any
work using your saw.
22. ALWAYS TURN OFF SAW before disconnecting it, to
avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power
supply.
23. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them fre-
quently and use to instruct other users. If you loan
someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
