4. Retract the lower guard (5) back with the lower guard
lever (6) as far as possible under the upper guard (7).
(Fig. 3)
5. Then, attach the saw blade (8) against the inner blade
washer (9) on the spindle. Then fit the outer blade
washer and the hex-head bolt. (Fig. 3 and 4)
6. Press the spindle lock button again, tighten the hex-
head bolt by turning the spanner clockwise while
pressing the spindle lock button. (Fig. 5)
7. After tightening the hex-head bolt, release the spindle
lock button.
REMOVING THE BLADE
1. Pressing the spindle lock button, turn the hex-head
bolt with the spanner until the spindle locks.
2. Loosen the hex-head bolt by turning the spanner
anticlockwise while pressing the spindle lock button.
3. Remove the hex-head bolt and the outer blade
washer.
4. Retract the lower guard back as far as possible under
the upper guard, then remove the saw blade.

ADJUSTING THE RIVING KNIFE
(Fig. 6)
WARNING!
Do not use saw blades the disk of which is
thicker, or the set of which is smaller, then the
thickness of the riving knife.
1. Ensure that the riving knife is adjusted so that (Fig. 6):
A. The distance between the riving knife (11) and the
toothed rim of the saw blade is under 5 mm.
B. The toothed rim does not extend more than 5 mm
beyond the lower edge of the riving knife.
2. The riving knife should always be used except when
making a plunging cut in the middle of a workpiece.

ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT
(Fig. 7A, 7B, 8, 9)
1. To adjust the depth of cut, loosen the depth
adjustment knob (12). (Fig. 7A)
2. Slide the base plate (13) to the desired depth using
the depth adjustment lug (21) and retighten the knob
securely. (Fig. 7B)
3. The depth of cut (14) can be determined by the depth
scale (15) or by measuring the distance by which the
blade protrudes from the base plate. (Fig. 8 and 9)
■
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING ANGLE
(Fig. 10A, 10B)
1. The cutting angle may be set to any position between
0° and 45°. (Fig. 10A)
2. Loosen the bevel adjustment knob (16) at the front of
the tool and move the base plate to the desired angle
using the bevel scale (17). (Fig.10B)
3. Once the angle has been set, be sure to retighten
the bevel adjustment knob firmly.
■ TRIGGER SWITCH (Fig. 11)
This tool is started and stopped by squeezing and
releasing the trigger switch (18). To prevent the tool
from being started accidentally, the trigger can only
be operated if the safety button (19) is depressed first.
The safety button can be depressed with the thumb
leaving the other fingers free to squeeze the trigger
switch. It is not necessary to maintain pressure
on the safety button once the trigger switch has been
depressed.
■ OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Fig. 12)
DANGER!
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE CUTTING
AREA WHEN OPERATING THE TOOL.
KEEP THE CORD AWAY FROM THE CUTTING
AREA AND POSITION IT SO THAT IT WILL
NOT GET CAUGHT ON THE WORKPIECE
DURING THE CUTTING OPERATION.
When cutting, use steady and even pressure
(DO NOT FORCE) in order to obtain a uniform cut.
Cut at a speed suited to the workpiece. (Cut slowly
if the workpiece is hard.) Inspect the saw blade
frequently and replace or sharpen it if dull, to avoid
overloading the motor.
■ CUTTING POSITION (Fig. 13A, 13B)
When cutting a workpiece at 0°, use point "A" of the
base plate line guide (20) and move the saw along the
pencilled line you have drawn. When cutting at 45°,
use point "B". This line guide shows an approximate
line of cut. Make a sample cut in scrap lumber to
determine the actual line of cut.
CAUTION!
When ripping, the rip fence should only touch
the workpiece slightly. Do not force.
■ MAINTENANCE
After use, check the tool to make sure that it is in top
condition.
We recommended that you take this tool to an
Authorised Ryobi Service Centre for a thorough
cleaning and lubrication at least once a year.
DO NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS WHILE THE
MOTOR IS RUNNING.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD FROM
THE SOCKET BEFORE CHANGING REMOVABLE
OR EXPENDABLE PARTS (BLADE, BIT,
SANDPAPER, ETC.), LUBRICATING OR WORKING
ON THE SAW.
KEEP HANDLES CLEAN AND FREE FROM OILAND
GREASE.
WARNING!
For greater safety and reliability, all repairs
should be performed by an Authorised Ryobi
Service Centre.
