SAW ARM ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: The saw arm is factory set and should not require adjustment.
11.9
PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
•
The saw arm should rise to the upper stop itself.
•
If the saw arm does not rise fully itself or if there is play in the pivot, have the saw serviced by a qualified technician
at a Ryobi Service Centre to avoid risk of personal injury.
11.10 BEVEL ADJUSTMENT
•
It should be easy to tile the saw arm to the left when the bevel clamping knob is slackened.
•
If the bevel adjustment is stiff or if there is play in the adjustment, have the saw serviced by a qualified technician at
a Ryobi Service Centre to avoid risk of personal injury.
11.11 DEPTH STOP
The depth stop sets the limit for lowering the saw arm. It allows the blade to go through the mitre table far enough to provide
the maximum cutting capacity. The depth stop limits the blade to 6.4 mm from the mitre table frame.
NOTE: The mitre table frame is below the mitre table.
The depth stop is factory set to provide the maximum cutting capacity for the 210 mm saw blade supplied with your saw.
Adjustment should, therefore, not be required with the saw blade provided.
However, when the diameter of the blade is reduced by sharpening, it may be necessary to adjust the depth stop to
re-establish the maximum cutting capacity. Also, when a new blade is fitted, it is necessary to check the clearance of the
blade from the mitre table frame before starting the saw. Adjust if necessary.
11.12 DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS
See Figure 29.
•
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
WARNING: Failure to remove the battery pack from the saw could result in the saw starting accidentally and cause
serious personal injury.
•
To adjust the depth stop, use a 17 mm spanner or adjustable spanner and slacken the hex nut at the rear of the mitre
saw arm.
•
Use the 5 mm Allen key provided to adjust the depth stop adjustment screw. The saw blade is lowered by turning the
screw anticlockwise and raised by turning the screw clockwise.
•
Lower the blade into the throat plate of the mitre table. Check the blade clearance and the maximum cutting width
(distance from the fence to where the blade enters) to the front of the mitre table throat plate.
•
Readjust if necessary.
WARNING: Do not start your mitre saw without checking that the blade cannot hit the mitre table frame. The blade
could be damaged if it hits the mitre table frame while cutting.
•
Tighten the nut with a 17 mm spanner or adjustable spanner.
•
To prevent the depth stop adjustment screw from moving while the nut is being tightened, hold it with the Allen key.

USING YOUR MITRE SAW
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating tools. Failure to do
so could result in foreign objects being projected into your eyes, causing serious eye injury.
When the saw has been assembled and adjusted, the battery pack can be attached.
