GUARD
GUARD GUARD GUARD 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
A work clamp has been provided with your saw. It provides
greater control by clamping the workpiece to the fence. It
also prevents the workpiece from creeping toward the saw
blade. This is very helpful when cutting compound miters.
MOUNTING HOLES
See Figure 6.
Your compound miter saw should be permanently mounted
to a firm supporting surface such as workbench. Four 7/16 in.
(11 mm) bolt holes have been provided in the saw base for
this purpose. Each of the four mounting holes should be
bolted securely using 7/16 in. (11 mm) machine bolts, lock
washers, and hex nuts (not included). Bolts should be of
sufficient length to accommodate the saw base, lock washers,
hex nuts, and the thickness of the workbench.
Tighten all four bolts securely.
The hole pattern for an 18 in. (457 mm) x 24 in. (610 mm)
workbench is shown in Figure 6. Carefully check the
workbench after mounting to make sure that no movement
can occur during use. If any tipping, sliding, or walking is
noted, secure the workbench to the floor before operating.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Optional accessories are available and may be purchased for
use with your saw. They include table extensions, a stop
block, and dust bag.
The table extensions increase the work surface to 36 inches
wide, providing improved support for cutting long workpieces.
The stop block is useful as a stop for cutting multiple workpieces
to the same length.
The dust bag catches sawdust, helping keep the work area
cleaner.
These accessories are available from your Ryobi dealer. For
the location of a distributor near you, call 1-800-525-2579 in
the United States or 1-800-265-6778 in Canada.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your saw has a precision built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC
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, double-check the
power supply.
WARNING:
The operation of any saw can result in foreign objects
being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe
eye damage. Before starting power tool operation, always
wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
and a full face shield when needed. We recommend 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 alter-
ation or modification is misuse and could result in a
hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal
injury.
