of the miter table.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
An electric brake has been provided to quickly stop blade
rotation after the switch is released.
FENCE
The fence on your miter saw has been provided as a
support 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.
WORK CLAMP (Optional)
An optional work clamp has been provided with your saw. It
provides one means of clamping the workpiece to the fence.
Clamping secures the work and prevents the workpiece
from creeping toward the saw blade. This is very helpful
when cutting miters.

ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Alwaysmake sureyour miter sawis securelymounted to
a workbench or an appropriate workstand. Failure to do
socouldresultinanaccidentresultinginpossibleserious
personal injury.
Your Ryobi miter saw has been adjusted at the factory for
making very accurate cuts. However, some of the compo-
nents might have been jarred out of alignment during ship-
ping. Also, over a period of time, readjustment will probably
become necessary due to wear. After unpacking your saw,
check the following adjustments before you begin using
saw. Make any readjustments that are necessary and peri-
odically check the parts alignment to make sure that your
saw is cutting accurately.
WARNING:
Your saw should never be connected to power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
installingorremovingblades,orwhennotinuse.Discon-
necting your saw will prevent accidental starting that
could cause serious injury.
NOTE: Many of the illustrations in this manual show only
portions of your miter saw. This is intentional so that we
can clearly show points being made in the illustrations.
Never operate your saw without all guards securely in
place and in good operating condition.

PIVOT ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: These adjustments were made at the factory and
normally do not require readjustment.
TRAVEL PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
■The saw arm should rise completely to the up position
by itself.
■If the saw arm does not raise by itself or if there is play in
the pivot joints, have saw repaired 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. (6.4 mm) from the miter table support.
NOTE: The miter table support is located inside miter table.
The depth stop is factory set to provide maximum cutting
capacity for the 10 in. (254 mm) saw blade provided with
your saw. Therefore, the saw blade provided should never
need adjustments.
However,when thediameter of theblade hasbeen reduced
due to sharpening, it may be necessary to adjust the depth
stoptoprovidemaximumcuttingcapacity.Also,whenanew
blade is installed, it is necessary to check the clearance of
the blade to the miter table support.
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS
