cedures other than those specified herein may result in

TO AdJUST THE LASER GUIdE
See Figure 37.

Set miter and bevel angles to 0º.
 Use the work clamp or a C-clamp to secure a piece of
scrap wood.
 Turn the saw on and make a slight cut to score the wood.
 Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to
stop rotating before raising the saw arm.
 Using a padlock, lock the switch trigger to make the saw
inoperable.
 Turn on the laser switch.
 To adjust the laser, loosen the laser adjustment screw
using the Phillips end of the supplied blade wrench.
 Move the laser left or right until properly aligned.
NOTE: The laser should be on the left edge of the kerf.
 Once aligned, tighten the screw.
NOTE: If laser does not align correctly, return to your nearest
Ryobi Authorized Service Center for repair.
TO AdJUST THE MITER LOCK LEVER
See Figure 38.
Prior to squaring the saw blade to the fence, check and
adjust the miter lock lever, if needed. In the “locked” posi-
tion, the action of pushing the miter lock lever fully down
should feel tight and secure. Considerable effort should be
required to move the miter table. If the table moves easily
when in the “locked” position, an adjustment of the miter
lock lever is required.
To adjust:

Remove the battery pack from the tool.
 Push the miter lock lever fully down to lock.
 Pull the miter lock lever out to the right to disengage, then
pull forward to adjust.
 Release miter lock lever to re-engage
 Recheck the miter table to ensure proper tightness.
